Ask Lemmy

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

Lemmy is my only social media

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 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.

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

Only Lemmy for about a year now

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

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

Not yet. Reddit and Lemmy are my only social media, I don't use anything else--I only see content from other sites, like TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc., on Reddit or Lemmy. There are a couple of klunky things about the Lemmy interface that bug me, which I've complained about already. And, the Lemmy communities I'm more interested in are not active enough to satisfy me. Lemmy still feels empty, but it's getting better.

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

I maintain a reddit account linked to a burner email so that I can occasionally ask questions that I can't find the answer too elsewhere. Other than that the only social media I use is Lemmy.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

Only decentralized open source social media for me

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 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)
