No Stupid Questions

Me! I haven't used Reddit in 2 weeks and I don't intend to leave the Fediverse anytine soon.

Yep. After 9 years of almost daily use and 50k comment karma, I haven't been on Reddit in a week. I miss a few of the more niche places, but I imagine they'll be along. I started an r/synthesizers ripoff anyway.

The only time I've spent on reddit is to convince mods and users to make the switch to lemmy

Gone cold turkey and completely dropped Reddit. Lemmy, Hacker News, Techmeme and some traditional news sources has so far been good enough.

I'm only using Reddit for /r/soccer at the moment as the Fedi versions aren't very active unfortunately. But if they become more active or Reddit get rid of old Reddit then I'll be done completely.

My only issue with Lemmy at the moment is every other post is a out Reddit to the point I might aswell be on Reddit... Understandable why but would be nice to see other content

Just joined today and getting to know how it works. 🤞

Absolutely! The vibe is more chill. There's not the content churn there was on Reddit, but when I examined my consumption habits on Reddit I realized most of the churn was just reposts anyway. Lemmey is all the meat, and none of the fat.

I quit Reddit altogether. Here it feels less addictive.

I enter to Reddit for the memes (with all the shitshow it is occurring right now) and for the community itch that Reddit used to scratch there is Lemmy.

I have, 7 days clean off Reddit.

I just made my account, figuring out how to use the app.

I stopped using reddit since day 1 of going dark. Sometimes Google redirects me there so I have to find other results. Jerboa for Android is a great experience - spending most of the social media time here

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'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.

Used Power Delete Suite to edit all my comments and point to lemmy.world on my main account. Only check Reddit once every few days to upvote spez debauchery.

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

Used Reddit everyday. Left last week. Lemmy everyday. Slowly subscribing to be subs as they appear. I get confused sometimes with the changes (subscribing, federation). The apps aren't as feature rich as the well matured 3rd party apps I was used to (losing my place when I nav away from app, can't find a post I was half way through reading. But I'm Happy. Oh yeah. I comment on Lemmy. Never really did that on Reddit.

I guess it's like I get to grow with the community, rather than crashing the party.

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

Yea, I spend 90% of my time on Lemmy, and it's been really fun seeing it grow so quickly.

Most of my recent posts on Reddit have been mod actions, or pumping Lemmy.

I'm not ditching Reddit, but I'm spending more time reading and discovering Lemmy. Since I selfhost a lot of services, I started my own Lemmy instance. Must say, it feels kinda barebones, but that's because of the lack of advertisements etc. on pages.

I kinda find it peacefull and I hope Lemmy survives as eco-system.

As a Reddit refugee who had heard of Lemmy a few times and finally decided to check it out, pleasantly surprised. I think I'll be spending more time here. :)

The only reasons I still go to Reddit now are to:

1. shit on Reddit and promote Lemmy, using RIF on mobile and an adblocker on desktop so that they get $0 revenue from me;
2. check out the tiny NSFW shitposting sub I'm in as I made some friends there.

For anything else I go straight to lemmy.world which is my new home now.

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.

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.

I’m spending much more time here now that I am spending at reddit. I’m hoping for another big influx of users (and therefore content) on July 1.

Currently full time lurking on Lemmy. I have only used Reddit when there is absolutely no analogue for my issue (in this case, used fightsticks for FGC titles)

Using the Memmy app on iOS

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

I haven't been on Reddit since sunday 11th.

I don't scroll through Reddit but scroll here instead. Not as much as leaps out at me as it used to but at the same time I am glad it's more focused and less shitposting.

Haven't deleted my account, see no reason to. But for sure, my account will show next to little activity, no commenting, no login, nothing.

I'm just a commenter unfortunately, never been much of a poster and contributer. More into the comment discussions!

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!

I blocked reddit from my network so I would accidently go there. The only two things making it hard for me to use this is news and worldnews aren't super well moderated and I can't figure out how to make it not auto update the feed while im on top day with garbage new posts.

I occasionally go back to check on the chaos, but I am enjoying Lemmy a lot more. The older people at my workplace and my friends/family are beginning to echo the sentiment that Reddit killed itself, and that opinion spreading among average people is a sign that Reddit's days are numbered.

It's the community that makes reddit what it is. Lemmy cannot become reddit unless the community moves. The community will move if we make high effort content here.

I have switched from Relay for reddit to Jerboa for lemmy. But Jerboa still opens too much in browser, and I'm missing my mix of stuff. I could waste couple hours on reddit just consuming. Here, I run out of stuff in half an hour.

Also, the communities for the games I play are still over in reddit. Movie discussion threads are still on reddit. There are enough normies there that they will stick to reddit even after the protests. I can move my scrolling to Lemmy, that is my plan, but occasional visits to a few select places on reddit, will continue to happen.

You can also browse Lemmy aimlessly on your phone. The app is called "Jerboa for Lemmy". And yes, I just switched too. So far I like Lemmy, I see myself migrating here permanently.

I'd use Lemmy more if half the content wasn't about Reddit.

I only use reddit when looking at the current blackout and api situation. I am also sharing the word of lemmy and the fediverse to users who don't know what it is. But i no longer browse trough reddit, only on lemmy. Nore specificslly the jerboa app on Android.

I haven't used Reddit for more than 5 minutes since the blackout. The site clearly has absolutely zero interest in changing their terrible decisions, and they've shown their hand to everyone. I'm fully moved onto the Fediverse, and I feel all the better for it. I'd been using RIF since 2019, and I refuse to use the stock Reddit app. The community here is wonderful.

I'm trying but it's pretty low quality stuff here
