Ask Lemmy

Lemmy only. Reddit has become some strange mix of Quora and X or something like that at this point.

Lemmy is my only social media

Soon as I figure out Lemmy’s porn options I’m done with Reddit forever.

Til then tho, I’m happy to consume Reddit’s content without spending a single cent towards it or any of its advertisers.

I stopped reddit a couple years ago, and I only use lemmy. This is like my 6th account, and instance hop. Definitely a system that works better for me.

It is not hardcore i'd actually advise anyone to limit its media following for its own mental health. I never feel better than on vacation during which I barely check news and internet

I actively avoid reddit links for the last 2 years.

I don't know if I'm hardcore or not, but I've never had a Reddit account.

I ditched reddit for good two years ago. Now I just use Lemmy, Tildes, and Lobste.rs

Only Lemmy

I use both because people in my home country use reddit and it is pretty useful. Those communities are non-existing in Lemmy.

account on lemmy, just lurking the start page once a day for reddit without an account

Only Lemmy for about a year now

Gave up on Reddit after the shit show of 2022. Never looked back.

Got banned from reddit but in the end they actually did me a favor.

Having come from reddit and already boycotting Facebook/Meta I don't feel hardcore using only Lemmy

It meets nearly all of my needs, and if the userbase picks up it will certainly eventually fill those needs as well

My 10+ year old account with high karma was perma banned overnight I got into an argument with a power tripping rad left mod. I'm left leaning politically, however if you arent rad left on Reddit then youre a fascist. They love that echo chamber. Honestly one of the best thibgs to ever happen to me. Reddit is bad for your mental health. And their power tripping mods are pretty much nazis

I’m a Reddit blackout leaver, never going back. Ever.

Instagram has its grip on me sadly. Tho after the localhost fiasco I switched over to browser Instagram

I basically only use Lemmy. Since reddit first tried to restrict their API I've been outta there. Other that that I use Facebook for marketplace because less and less is on Craigslist

I was more or less exclusively lemmy for a good year or so, up until several months ago.

I would've logged into reddit maybe 3 or 4 times in the last year.

Sadly, I have to admit that browsing reddit with redlib or something is better than lemmy.

Lemmys main virtue is that its not reddit.

There's less content here, and it really is an echo chamber.

I am Canadian. I quit Reddit and joined Lemmy several months ago. Not because of any issues with Reddit but because of all that american trump 51st state crap.

I only use reddit sometimes when I am searching something on google (i am just adding 'reddit' after keywords). The bonus is that I don't get AI answers when I do this.

I only visit Reddit is search results take me there for a specific reason. Otherwise, I'm hardcore as fuck

Yes.

You don't understand how dead and foreclosed corporate social media appears to me if that surprises.

I don't like feeling like I am a tree being fed into a woodchipper.

I never fit in on corporate social media and after facebook I never found another corporate digital community that structurally felt like home (not just the vibe like Bluesky or Threads which are such false promises it physically hurts).

However the corporate social media platform that has isolated me the most and hurt my vim for life most deeply is Discord and it isn't even close.

I consider myself literally in a battle of life and death fighting the tide of Discord because I am not welcome there, my infodumps and tangents categorically are rejected by the format, the kinds of conversations I want to have are always drowned out and chat topics are so overly specific and narrow there is nothing to discover in the first place.

Edit I watch a lot of Youtube so I guess I can't say yes but I have a peertube creator account and I am in it for the long haul so shrugs it is what it is.

I have a reddit and IG account but don't look at them. The only social media apps I have on my phone are for lemmy and mastodon.

I exclusively use Lemmy to complain when my new Reddit account gets shadowbanned again. The issue is that the communities here simply are not big enough. I go on the Lemmy alternatives of the subreddits I visit often and there are like 4 posts over the course of multiple years

I only use Lemmy unless Internet search results bring me to a reddit post for an answer to a question. I don't comment on reddit anymore or even browse it.

Oh I only use Lemmy, I didn't use Reddit in the past anyway, Lemmy is my first actual experience

not quite

I nearly exclusively use Lemmy over Reddit, mastadon over xitter and Facebook, pixelfed over Instagram, ("nearly" because I still have the accounts, in case someone needs to contact me there). Although Lemmy is the only one I use frequently.

I still use YouTube and tiktok instead of peertube and loops though. They're just not big enough to host the content I'm interested in.

I return to Reddit mostly to harvest memes to bring here, or to ask obscure questions that I don't think there's enough of an audience here to get a good answer (I'm still looking for the "The Swaggoraki are swarming!" pic, if any Warhammer meme fans can find it)

I never go to Reddit anymore after moving to Lemmy, but I do sometimes end up on a Reddit post it's a relevant search result.

Reddit for browsing hobby-related stuff, Lemmy if I want to get mad at Israel, seeing as that's every comment section and every single post.

sometimes open old.reddit.com when i need info but otherwise lemmy and i compartmentalize accounts into different languages

My social media accounts are here, reddit, and Mastodon. Local community subreddit is too useful.

I got banned from Reddit for calling an Anti-vaxxer a waste of oxygen :3
