No Stupid Questions

Had to block reddit for a bit and replace my shortcuts to reddit with lemmy, but now I find myself enjoying my time on lemmy a lot more than on reddit. I don't know if I will ever stop using reddit due to the amount of old information over that is still very useful and because it's where most of my viewers come from, but only time will tell I guess.

I haven’t been on Reddit in days. That’s it for me. You should go cold turkey and delete yo Reddit.

I just just visit reddit to read r/ModCoord, r/RedditAlternatives and related. I am visiting Lemmy daily but honestly I am still expecting to see more content. I am trying to colaborste summiting some things, something I never do in Reddit.

I've entirely switched over to Lemmy. Deleted everything I had on reddit. I hope all subreddits that participated in the strike change their subreddit permanently to something else, instead of getting overthrown. Ie, /r/steam was about Steam, the PC platform. It's now for steam enthusiasts.

For sure. I hereby consider Reddit to have died, along with the 3rd party app that I used to view it with. (RIP Boost, you will be missed 🚀)

From now on, only Lemmy exists to me and I've fully replaced it, partially out of spite.

First thing I did was uninstall Relay.

Then logged off reddit on the desktop.

Put Jerboa on the same home screen spot where Relay was.

After a few days deleted my reddit account. Wasn't much of a commenter so just a simple delete for me.

I don't really enjoy Jerboa so whenever I reach for that spot I just remind myself to go to firefox on my phone and go on kbin or lemmy.

I used reddit mostly for doom scrolling and getting frustrated at world news and politics I cannot really influence. So the switch for me was kinda easy and after 12 years I really enjoy something new. I'm also fairly into technology and I am really fascinated by the concept of federation and I really hope it will be popular. I also hope that not all of reddit will move here, because I feel that reddit became huge and you got a sense of emptiness and hopelessness while browsing over there. If that makes any sense.

It won't be the same, but I like the idea of it a lot more than Reddit right now. Some questions for everyone...

**5-10 years down the road, what's to stop another Digg-Reddit-exodus from happening? As users, what can we do to keep this community prosperous, useful, and "good"? **

I was only lurking on reddit. Here I'm trying to help make the place feel alive by also commenting and engaging. So far I'm really enjoying the experience and I'm not looking back. Also yes, I feel like I do spend a bit more time on lemmy, but it might just be the novelty.

I’m getting there… I just need these beta apps to get a bit more useful.

That's... why I'm here.

Sadly, the majority will keep on using reddit(I'm talking overall about reddit users). I will use it only if some of my favorite communities don't get created here. I was banned on reddit for whoever knows what reasons(aka sweaty mods) so I can't really communicate there. And if I create a new account it gets banned too - tracking your device - is that even legal? When I reported racism, sexism, etc. they didn't even check it or said it wasn't breaking their rules - I think that sums it all up about reddit, their morals and policy. People are going back to reddit, communities are opening from being private, unfortunatelly nothing really changed. SomeOrdinaryGamers made a pretty good video explaining the reddit 'blackout'. You either cut the head off or it will eat you. Reddit community got eaten this time.

Haven't been back to reddit, no

Same, replaced RIF with Jerboa in my home screen. I do miss few communities but I think is only matter of time.

Went basically cold turkey on Reddit before the blackout, switching over to Kbin.
I know Reddit will survive, at least for the next while, but after witnessing Reddit's behaviour through all of this, I refuse to be a part of it.

My only use of Reddit will be for Google results, and that will be reading only with an Ad blocked - they won't make a penny off of me anymore if I can help it.

I vietually dropped it almost cold turkey. Albeit there are threads i would like to read, i outright try to avoid pulling up the app

Yup. I was using the official app and I just went cold turkey on reddit. Now just on lemmy. I used the jerboa app for a few days but it's slow and I get a timeout toast anytime I do anything, so instead I installed the lemmy.world PWA

Since I deleted my reddit account, yes.

I still lurk on Reddit because there's not enough content on here to keep me satisfied. Also I'm finding it hard to find stuff I like, I wish the interface was more similar to old Reddit.

Deleted my account there and moved here. But I hope all pathological downvoters will stay there...

Ended up making the switch today. Found certain communities I liked weren't in existence yet so I'm working on getting them setup.

So far I like Lemmy quite a bit! The vibe is good and positive, really nice to see.

I check lemmy a few times per day, reddit now a few times per week, and only the few subreddits that have no good alternatives yet.

It's been a real struggle breaking the decade long habit of just opening reddit every time im bored, but I'm trying to ween myself off in preparation for when they kill 3rd party apps at the end of the month since i won't be able to use RIF any longer.

I would say im spending about 80% of my time on kbin now. After the 3rd party app shutdown i'll probably only use reddit when it comes up in top google search results.

Yeah I stopped using Reddit when the boycott started and don't plan on going back(went back to add nonsense to my old comments). Hoping to see a larger migration as well.

I prefer the term immigrant now.

I'm about 40% Reddit and 60% lemmy/kbin right now. Once my Reddit app of choice (Relay) dies, I'll probably be here 100%

I deleted the acc. Not because what was happening, I think I started to dislike it before. This latest developments just gave me the last push to do it. Lemmy is fun, kind of innocent still.

I haven't intentionally been to reddit since June 10 or so, but some of my searches take me there. Been trying to use Discord as much as possible for those same questions but i do hit deadends sometimes that only those years old reddit posts can fix.

I haven’t been back. Creddit can get fucked. Apollo deserved better.

In saying that, I have missed the abundance of content. In saying that, Lemmy has grown in order of magnitudes since I got here a few weeks ago. And after the June 30 API cut, I think this place will jump in users.

I spend all my time here now, I actually uninstalled reddit and blocked it at the router, removed the want of using it tremendously

On reddit i usually was 1 hour a day, now I'm 3/4 on kbin. Imo it's more entertaining than reddit

Except for when it comes up on web searches when I'm looking for some tech answer, I am off Reddit 100%.

I've been here since the 10th, deleted my Reddit account yesterday.

I just made a fresh new account here. Still trying to find my way around here. Will keep my reddit account for a little bit but just like with Instagram, the ads just became too annoying for me.

Went to kbin after deleting my reddit account, so outside of occasionally lurking I don't really have a need for reddit.

Yes but I only see 2 problems so far. The siloing of instances and searchability. I can't search with lemmy yet since there are so many instances with no standard like with site:reddit.com. Way less issues than dealing with reddit so it's a big win for me!

For me, there's not enough activity on here yet and still some subreddits that haven't got equivalents here.

Full time Lemmy, using Jerboa app on my phone and just lemmy.world on desktop. Haven't gone back to Reddit other than vote for the funny polls to reopen subs.
