Reddit

10 years and the day Apollo died my towel went with it

I sure hope places for NFL and NHL pick up cause so far the MLB game threads are a ghost town

It makes me sad but I was part of the digg fiasco and switched to reddit. I was hours... And hours a day and pretty active.

I haven't been back to reddit since it killed the Sync for Reddit app. 100% Lemmy now.

9.5ish here

I'm Spartacus.

I had been lurking since ~2011. Probably racked up around 15 comments total, but it was a near-daily visit.

Two accounts. One I used to moderate that I made in 2009, and my other account was made about 10 years ago.

Used RIF on mobile and RES on desktop.

Now I use neither, deleted my moderator account and just left my more personal account to rot. (Don't want to delete everything on that one just yet).

15 year account and happy with Lemmy here. Only going back to Reddit once in a while to make sure all my comments remain deleted.

Got my first Reddit account in 2012 (which unfortunately was hacked in 2020 and got shut down). So I have used Reddit for 11 years at this point. I have been sick of the direction Reddit is going for a while, and when I realized Lemmy had started seeing some traffic I thought it was time to give this place a shot. So far Lemmy feels a bit like Reddit used to, which isn't a bad thing.

I haven't full left Reddit. Just using it less as i feel my way around the different alternatives. Some groups forums exist, other go by other names...Just a question of finding them.

Checking in.

God knows how long I'd been on Reddit. Easily 10+ and multiple accounts later.

Yes.

Sup.

✋ 15ish years. Left after Reddit confirmed they wouldn't be changing the policy

Me. Around 10-11 year account. It sucks since Reddit has been my landing page ever since joining. It really hurts that greed destroyed a good thing we have there.

But I feel that lemmy has something better to offer.

I think u/jackcooper made it to 10? I was on 2-3 years before making an account

Me!

13 years here

12 almost 13 years, discovered it just before the digg Exodus. Didn't know digg, never used Twitter, not much Facebook presence. Before Reddit it was gamefaqs, icanhascheeseburger Ctrl alt del and wimp. Now it's gamefaqs steam and Lemmy.

Lurked reddit since 2006 (a year after it was founded); joined in 2008.

Leaving wasn't easy. Quitting tobacco was less difficult. But fuck 'em. I'm done.

14 years. Mostly on RIF. Deleted my account on the last day. Enjoying it here. Many thanks to all of you!

16 years there. Once Boost stopped working I got off the site and migrated here. I've read threads that come up in Google searches, and looked at some specialty subs since, but nothing longer than 5 minutes every few days.

Raises hand. ~13 year old account, just deleted it and basically haven’t gone back and don’t intend to.

12 here. Hate it, they had a good thing and they fucked it up for personal gain. I'm never gonna make amends with it.

13 years. Found Reddit from visiting Popurls after ditching Digg, after leaving Catch.

I started using reddit during the digg migration. I lurked, replied to stuff and tried to upvote sanity in technical threads occasionally.

A year or so ago during a work trip to another continent I found that my account had been banned for "violation of the content policy". I worked their process to try and figure out why, but the replies were totally vague and either bot like or possibly written by someone with english as a second language.

It turned out that at the point I was banned I hadn't actually posted anything in over a year, so I really didn't have anything to go off. It is still a total mystery to me. I created a new account ( which I know they could consider ban evasion ) so I could copy my subscribed subreddits over and I was just lurking for the last year or so until the noise from their API changes pointed me at all the current alternatives. So here I am checking out the alternatives.

✋

'ello there! I have my 11 year badge on my primary reddit account. I haven't bothered to go back to reddit, and I don't really have much desire. I'm splitting my time pretty evenly between Lemmy and Squabbles.

I also appreciate that neither of these communities have been completely co-opted by psycho alt-right nutjobs like Voat was.

edit: my biggest regret was that I was something like 12k comment karma away from making it to centuryclub :( that was kind of a big deal as a casual poster who usually showed up to threads way too late.

Yep. Since 2011. Fucking bye.

9 years and 9 months currently.

Scrubbed and deleted a 12yr account and haven't been back.

Late to the party on this post, but I was a 14 year user. I was ready for a change as the communities I had subscribed to had stayed pretty static and was grateful for a reason to go and find an alternative. I spend less time doom scrolling as I have not yet installed an app on my phone and I think I may keep it that way.

Thanks to all of you for being here and making this a vibrant place.

15+ years for me. Idon't miss it as much as I thought I would.

13 years on Reddit.

Me

I started on Digg in the summer/fall of 2005 right around the launching point of Diggnation; maybe 5-10 episodes in. A friend got me introduced to that. I was there until September of 2010 and then made the move to reddit as a part of the Great Digg Migration, and now find myself here on the fediverse

I've never been a very active contributor, but still felt connected and enjoyed seeing the conversations and links that people were sharing

I made my first account in 2007. I ended up deleting it before long but I made another in 2009, which I deleted a couple of weeks ago (after manually deleting every comment and post I had ever made).

Officially, I had just reached the 14-year club.

Over 10 years on the account, 1 or 2 extras of lurking before that.

I'm gone for the most part, I don't ever open Reddit just to scroll since I jumped to Lemmy, but I do still add "Reddit" at the end of my Google searches because search engines have become useless and that's still the best way I know to get somewhat unbiased replies on just about any topic.

My 12th Cake Day was last week, which is how I discovered I had the Reddit app still installed on a test device that was my daily-driver a few years ago

13 years. Deleted my account but forgot the stuff I had saved ☹️

14 years here. Really optimistic for lemmy given how good the app story has become so fast. Hoping the user base keeps growing so that more niche communities hit a critical mass here.

Just checked, apparently my first account is actually a bit over 10 years old. I haven't fully cut ties with reddit yet, but I'm interested in Lemmy, and participating a little.

I intend to be an annoying cunt on reddit constantly saying "Lemmy is better" whenever that statement can actually pass as true to a general audience. And I fully intend to violate the fuck out of the "you can't make a new account when we ban you"-rule if I end up getting banned for it.

About 12 years, I was living in Rarotonga at the time and I was looking for something to replace my YouTube habit because data was herendously expensive and reddit was mostly text and images, it was fantastic

At least 10 years....won't go and check. I'm working hard to get the hang of the fediverse and being patient while it grows up. I'll check a few niche subjects on Reddit but without a phone app my usage is down like 98%. Not posting or voting. Obligatory fuck /u/spez. What a dumbass maneuver he pulled...so many other choices. Can't wait for him to go down in flames....
