Asklemmy

I am still lurking on reddit, while using Lemmy. Frankly, Lemmy is pre-Eternal September, so everyone is nice and the community is cool. But reddit is still a massive repository of info. I think once we hit July and my 3PA goes offline, i will be mostly on Lemmy. Suspect this will be the case for most lemmings.

I think at least 1% will stay, but due to how massive Reddit is, that will be enough to survive.

This has been the push I’ve needed to leave. I hope to stay away. I spent too much time there doomscrolling and hope Lemmy’s format prevents me from that waste of my time.

i expect a much crappier reddit 6 months from now. i won't be able to use reddit without old.reddit and res.

re lemmy, i'm so confused and overwhelmed by it. i wish there was a lingo and activity converter between reddit and lemmy.

Probably most refugees will go back but hopefully not a so small minority will continue to use Lemmy or only Lemmy.

Probably a second wave will migrate at the beginning of July because I don't think that 2 days of "abstinence" will change to much.

I'm here as long as it's active. Really hoping it stays as active as it has been lately, because if reddit doesn't change their plan I'm gone as soon as my app stops working.

Personally, I am not one to 'choose' so much. I don't feel the need to delete my Reddit or Facebook accounts....

However, I haven't used Facebook for quite a long time - except to contact via messenger a couple of people who only use Facebook AFAIK.

The same can happen to Reddit, if I get more interesting feeds...

Reddit is like the abusive lover we can't leave.

I've been hurt again and again and again over the years. This was the last straw. Even if they cave, it'll only be temporary.

I'll continue to use reddit data in searches, but I'll no longer participate in the discussions or offer my opinions/experience there.

I forked PDS and re-wrote all my comments, then delete all my accounts. There's no turning back.

As for sticking with Lemmy... who knows. But I'm going to give it a solid go.

I think a lot of them will. Realistically, a lot of people are going to forget about the whole blackout thing and just use the official app.

I doubt the blackout will stick. I didn't see very much action around migrating to new sites from all those big subs going dark.

I feel like most will, it's kind of confusing getting here in the first place so I'm not entirely convinced this would be capable of migration without becoming far more user friendly. On top of that the big communities still have more discussion over on reddit which is the main draw imo.

I'm kind of hoping to stay here. I also joined mastodon. Just hoping the right number of people have the same idea.

Not planning on going back. I very much prefer open software. Funny that if none of this API nonsense happened I might have never heard of lemmy. Glad to be here.

My only hope is that some more of the communities I enjoyed on Reddit move here, in some fashion.

around 80%

As much as I want to say fuck reddit completely but there are still a lot of niche subreddits I'm subscribed to so it's gonna be very hard to cut off reddit completely. Hoping Lemmy starts to take off and more people migrate over here so I can finally fully terminate my reddit account.

Most, but they'll always have Lemmy in their back pocket, which is the important part.

I think if the top Reddit third party apps developed a Lemmy app, that would genuinely help keep people here.

The "official" Lemmy apps right now are rough. They aren't terrible, but they are leagues behind any of the main Reddit apps.

I usually scrolled my subreddits, but the things I absolutely sought out on reddit were the wrestling sub and subs devoted to the toy lines I collect. There are discords for those things, but I hope to stumble across something here sooner than later.
