I haven't looked at Reddit since joining Lemmy on the 12th. I do miss some of the more niche subreddits, but hoping they'll eventually make an appearance here. :)

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I jumped to lemmy the day of or the day before the blackout began, and moved to Kbin shortly after. Since then, I think I tapped into Reddit a total of 5-or-so times to check out solutions to web searches without bothering to log in. Three of of those times just led to a private subreddit, so I just backed out and looked elsewhere.
For my usual news binge, Kbin (& Lemmy), has more than sufficed. The fediverse has quickly made abandoning reddit pretty trivial for me.
I have already uninstalled my reddit app from my phone. Now I just need to stop myself from automatically hitting my bookmarks on pc all the time. After years and years of reddit, it's hard to break the habit, lol.
I just joined Lemmy, but it seems to be a solid replacement for Reddit, with a similar layout and less ads. Plus not likely to have corrupt admins so I'm in.
Yeah, I hated reddit tho
Stopped reddit completely on my phone because Boost died. On my PC I still open it by habit sometimes, but doing it less and less.
I haven’t been on Reddit since the day of the Blackout and won’t be. I find my screen time has been cut down significantly and I like it.
For now I have an e reader and Steamdeck, whenever I want to browse I don’t, or I pick one of these.
This way the content I consume is curated by me and not an algorithm.
IPOs = death of what made your thing cool.
Yes, but only because installing Leechblock to try and reduce time wasting on Reddit and Youtube happened to coincide with this whole Reddit thing, and I haven't blocked Lemmy yet :)
I'm not, but i enjoy the time i've spent using lemmy so far this past week (only setup an account today) much more.
My first comment ever on Lemmy. As an Open-Source developer myself, the dirty moves around the Reddit API was definitely what pushed me to the FediVerse and Lemmy. I'd like to slowly move indefinitely to Lemmy from Reddit.
Yes.
i'm finding i spend more time on other sites i neglected over the years, like gamefaqs and YouTube
but i'm loving this - i'm all over lemmy, kbin, mastodon on my phone

100% Lemmy here.
Definitely me, haven't opened reddit since the protest.
I've not been back to reddit once since I created my Lemmy account. I've googled some things which have only really yielded reddit links, however instead of going to reddit to get the answer, I've just asked my question on Lemmy.
Technically yes, but I spend 0 time on Reddit soooo.
I was, then I wasn't, but only because my Reddit is curated with over a decade of finding the subs I like.
However, I'm still slowly trying to find and curate my Lemmy experience, which I expect will pickup even more steam once 3rd Party API's get shut down the end of this month.
It's not even just a matter of principle, the Reddit official app is terrible, which is almost funny since I loved AlienBlue.
Still scroll reddit for certain communities, but the conversation here is refreshing and I find myself participating more, that's a good thing. Lemmy needs sustained engagement more than a honeymoon phase. We will see once third-party apps shut down.
I will until I run out of content here.
This is my first message.
I have converted to Lemmy fully now. I deleted my reddit favourites and Relay for Reddit, and just replaced them with Lemmy. Now when I subconciously click where reddit used to be, I get Lemmy instead. It's helped a lot.
I'm still struggling with some aspects of Lemmy. I'm on a small instance called "Toast.ooo", and I'd like to subscribe to the starfield community on "Lemmy.zip", but I just can't do it. If I try to search for it, it doesn't appear. If I go direct to Lemmy.zip, I can't log in to my account.
This might help in finding a good instance; https://the-federation.info/platform/73
I actually tried four before I landed on one I like. First was a matter of latency, in other words finding one close to me with a good ping, then it was a matter of how well I liked the administration.
https://toast.ooo/c/[email protected] should work, seems to be a problem with the toast.ooo instance.
It works on most instances I try.
You could try DMing the Admin there looks like their name is @grant - or pick a more established server that works better

Not even going to Reddit at all. The main subs I followed have locked anyway.
