Check the top comments from this thread "Reddit: Killing a Giant". I've seen our server URL floating around some of the sub comments in Reddit related threads on HN before this week, but this was the first I found linked from the top comment. Comment here if you spot anymore out in the wild. ๐Ÿž๏ธ

If someone says "I'm never using Reddit again", they're probably just being dramatic and I don't think I believe them.

But if someone says, "I've signed up for a Lemmy instance and have set it up on all my devices and created convenient shortcuts and have found some interesting communities to read", that person has performed a greater act of defiance against Reddit than the first.

Personally, I haven't quit Reddit, but I've made sure to put a few other communities ahead of it in line. Many times I will reach my fill of social media before I ever get Reddit.

Agreed!

It is also useful to.be on reddit to let people who are dissatisfied know about fediverse alternatives like Lemmy and Kbin.

Although Lemmy feels quite busy now, the vast majority of redditors, even those interested in tech haven't heard of it.
