I'm staying here to be honest.

Already deleted my account, but still having Infinity installed. Hopefully someone can make it work with the Lemmy API (as the dev gave consent for someone to fork his project to make it work with Lemmy)

Just joined a few minutes ago, i used Mastadon before but didn't it like it, feels stiff (i never was a Twitter user) but this is easier to use since i have been using Reddit for a while, but i don't quite understand where i search for communities, what app do you all use?

I will be using both for now.

I think the reddit controversy is overblown. As a private company they need to at least break even otherwise they won't be able to keep it online forever. That being said it sounds like there API pricing is unreasonable for no reason; though I am glad they have made an exception for accessibility focused apps and some moderation tools.

I am actually brand new to lemmy and the fediverse, it's something I am very glad exists though. It's the kind of open source project I think could be very beneficial to a lot of people. From what little I have seen so far it's very promising with a few rough edges.

P.s. also hoping they can work out a deal with Reddit Sync, otherwise I could be spending a lot more time here 😉

I've already let Jerboa take Boost's place on my app bar, but I'm sure I'll keep using Reddit too until Boost ceases to function.

For me Jerboa just isn't there yet in terms of functionality, but I'm hoping it'll get there soon!

I think I'm going to stick to Lemmy and use Reddit only to promote Lemmy. I've been created a few new communities here and will plug them to Reddit users.

I set up an RSS reader for my favourite subreddits so basically I have Reddit on read-only mode. I will save my engagement for Lemmy.

I already erased all of my post history for all of my accounts on Reddit. I'm not saying that I won't go back to a specific group to read something if I need it or Google search something If the sub still exists in the data still there. But there would have to be something pretty substantial for me to ever actually log in and recontribute to any community there.

Whether I stay on Lemmy or not depends on the content here. I'm not one to spend hours a day doom scrolling, My work is 10 minutes on 5 minutes off kind of thing so it's nice to have something to read and ponder in my down time but honestly I was spending way too much of it on Reddit anyway.

I'm going to try to just use lemmy. Reddit removing moderators over this is BS and too much.

But, until everything I used it for is replaced, I will still participate in some communities over there.

Lol no. I'll still use if I need answers forma google search, but other than that, I'm out.

I'll stay here for now as I'm learning how lemmy work

Both. Eventually want to change to just Lemmy/kbin tho

During the blackout I redacted all my comments over the past 10 years but I don't think it let me redact the ones from private subreddits, so I'll return to redact those as they open up. After that I don't plan on going back. Sad times. High hopes for the fediverse though.

I think I'm going to stay. I'll try it for a few days or weeks. If I can get used to new interface, especially on mobile (jerboa currently) then I'm going to delete all my comments and posts on Reddit and delete my account. Going to use this as the final motivation to delete my Twitter and Facebook accounts as well. I'm not using them anymore anyway. I hope this is going to be the start of a bigger change around the internet away from these corporation owned sites.

I'm happy to move to a tighter community with more engagement and honestly I like that the fediverse has a higher bar to entry. Reddit discussions used to provide answers, but the quality of dialog there has regressed to the mean.

I may still click Reddit links in Google searches if I can't find answers elsewhere.

My plan is to try to use this exclusively and advertise it to my friends who are looking to get away from Reddit as well.

I will use both. I still need to follow some subreddit to get news on money-grabbing-mobile-games I'm addicted to.. lol
I will try to use lemmy more as much as I can though...

I won't go back unless they reverse the changes. And even the it would just be for the subreddits that don't have equivalents here at the moment

I'm done using reddit on mobile without 3rd party apps. Might drop in occasionally on desktop looking for answers to whatever niche hobby thing I can't find here. My usage will certainly be much less than before though.

I'll do both for a bit and see what happens.

I'm done posting on reddit, and I'm only interacting with specific subs (maybe via web with an ad blocker). But until the community here gets a little bigger I'll probably still go there to look at content.

That said, I'm trying to make an effort to post a few things daily somewhere in Lemmy. Be the change you want to see and all that jazz.

If I don't lie to myself,

I know I'm going to first go on Lemmy, scroll and comment and post Then if it gets boring or what seems to be the case where I see again and again the same post for 2 days in a row, then I'll go to Reddit to continue

There's literally not anything left on reddit that I wish to see anymore. It's all controlled and bloated and designed to keep you addicted and angry. I've been increasingly bored and annoyed with the platform for a while, so this made the transition to lemmy even easier. Honestly, a lot of people are better off without it.

Gonna work on reducing my reddit use while I find enough places here to fill all those little brain-itch niches.

Hopefully phase out reddit eventually. But not immediately.

I'm going to continue coming here. My exit from Reddit is a slow slide... I only use old.reddit plus Apollo and RIF clients. When 3rd party clients are gone I will not use the official app, and I do not intend to continue accessing my feed daily. I don't believe that I'll delete my account - if that data in context can help someone else in the future, that's still a good thing.

I'm sure at some point I'll get on old.reddit again, for as long as it's still around. After all, I spent a dozen years or more on reddit; it's hard to just walk away from that cold turkey. But, I kinda like what's going on with Lemmy. I've really liked what I've seen with lemmy.world, there's a cool vibe here, and I'm already feeling at home. I think I'm gonna stick around. :-)

Switch back to reddit but the minute Lemmy or kbin or whatever gets up to reddit speed, will switch for good.

I deleted Reddit to help myself stay off for the blackout. I think as long as I have fun and establish a community here, I’ll stay. I don’t plan on doing both, but 🤷‍♂️

By and large I don't feel the need to go back to reddit, as I can get the news and other things either here or in different places. There are a few very specific subs that I'll probably visit from time to time on desktop, but I'll never use that garbage reddit app.

Probably both for now, but I've been using Lemmy more and more.

both. this platform seems interesting but im not ready to quit reddit just yet, especially since theres really little content here

I will be using both until rif shuts down, but only to support / upvote posts and comments about the death of Reddit.

My many year old Reddit account is gone, and I spun up a new Reddit account that is essentially a throwaway referencing the death of Reddit.

I want to make sure this isn't just a two-day and done issue. I feel this is the death of Reddit, the same as it was the death of Digg.

Most likely I will "specialize" reddit for sports stuff only.

There's still a few subreddits that I'll continue to follow, but it'll be in lurker-only mode and no interaction and no adblock whitelist. My 13-year old main account will be nuked.

If Reddit had acted less crap and unprofessional with these API changes and actually treated 3rd party devs with a minimum of respect, even if 3rd party clients ultimately died anyway, I might have continued and just stuck with old.reddit.com or something. But they didn't.

I will stick to Lemmy as my main but I'll use Reddit for some specific and niche stuff, unless a similar community props up . I was always sort of a lurker there but now I'll be even more of a lurker lol. I'll cut down reddit usage to basically 0 though.

I've already replaced Rif with Jerboa on my home screen and don't plan on changing it back. But I'm thinking I'll probably have to start using the official Reddit app for the more niche communities/subreddits. Still haven't downloaded it though!
