No Stupid Questions

Just signed up and still exploring. Hopefully I will spend more time on here than Reddit though.

Been using lemmy full time, just got one reddit sub I check once a day because its a niche sub for support for a fairly dead game and I need to re-direct people to the discord so they can actually get their questions answered.

Discussion is better here, I find myself just looking through the local feed. Content specific stuff has some catching up to do

I barely even used Reddit in the first place... but I did find myself spending more time on Mastodon than Twitter after the whole Elon thing happened. Noticeably less toxicity in the places I hang out in. Even went as far as to wipe my account clean with a service so I'm not contributing any content to them, but keep my handle so nobody can steal it from me and say things.

I am... but they nuked all my main/alts except a few. I keep them to keep control of my mod rights, but its coming to a point of I don't want to bother.

Loading this page took 10 seconds. This is too slow right now to function as a replacement for Reddit. Also, I HAVE to have the “hide” feature. I always hide posts after I have mentally processed them. That way my feed is always fresh. Without that feature, I am constantly seeing the same stuff over and over, which I hate.

I don't miss a thing about reddit. I was using the platform for about 9 years and the whole debacle about who gets to profit off our content resulted in me moving to something less shitty. SO far, Lemmy has proven to be what the internet was before big corporations took over and I will stay here. I just started donating to the patreon for lemmy.world (or rather mastadon.world, but same dev) and I intend on staying here. I like the engagement so far and hope that the community sticks with this platform. Thanks to reddits malarkey I was introduced to the fediverse and for that I am thankful

I used to browse Reddit for at least an hour a day. Now I never go there but I go on Lemmy for maybe 10 minutes. Reddit was a content fire hose so there's a bit of an adjustment period to the slower pace here.

I deleted my reddit account, but I still skim reddit as a lurker for a handful of specific subreddits. Once the fediverse grows a bit more, I can slowly phase out the niche subreddit activity entirely. But I no longer spend my whole break at work doomscrolling.

I still occasionally lurk on reddit, just a few obscure subs like r/fedora. Lemmy is the first social platform I've actually commented on.

Honestly I wasn't to interested in the whole "movement" against the API changes. Being a nerd, the underlying tech behind activitypub is what got me interested.

Same. I'm scaling down my Reddit use and preferring the use of Lemmy. So far, many of my main communities are still Reddit first, but that is decreasing ever more.

I guess it's currently about 70/30 percent of my time split across these two, favouring Lemmy in spite of the fact that I'm not yet following all the communities that I want to follow.

Just switched recently but I feel as if the communities in lemmy produces quality content than reddit

This site is super janky, when I load All, it just keeps adding new posts and moving things I'm reading. Hot doesn't bring up the most popular posts, but how do I filter for that? I am just filtering by most commented for now.

I'll keep using it, after all, if the experience is worse, I'll use it less which is actually a plus. And as a substitute, it is enough to keep me off Reddit. But it is categorically worse, even if it did have all the same content.

Since I deleted both of my reddit accounts I've spent all me social time on Lemmy. First couple of days sucked, but now I'm really enjoying it.

Heavy Reddit user here. Joined Lemmy today. I like what I'm seeing when accessing Lemmy through a desktop browser but the mobile experience leaves a lot to be desired. Nonetheless, I'm excited to be here and look forward to rapid improvements as new users keep joining.

I for sure am! As someone who craves a sense of novelty, all the new instances and communities are awesome. My posts actually have an impact again and don't get automatically downvoted by some bot.

I’m enjoying it more than I thought

I'm working on transitioning over. I mean all the subreddits I follow are hard to just replace on a whim but slowly I'm getting there. Probably gonna download one of the phone apps for lemmy too.

I deleted my Reddit account a week ago. I'm just wading into Lemmy and subscribing to things.

I've also started spending more time in Apple News for news items (I miss the comments section so much) and Hacker News for technical stuff. I hope Lemmy communities continue to grow.

Not yet.. none of my favorite communities made it over yet.

I only get info from Reddit now and comment almost exclusively here. Old stuff is still good there, but it's time to move on

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.

I’m spending the majority of my time here. There are some subs connected to my job that I still visit but that’s at most once a day in a weekday. I feel no need to browse Reddit.

@AskThinkingTim No, I mostly used Twitter (still) and used Libreddit and Stealth for Reddit because I didn't communicate anyway

Im 90 % Lemmy and 10% Reddit right now. But i think that i soon will be 100% Lemmy. Only thing that stopping me from making the switch totally is some minor things about the mobile apps for Lemmy.

I made a lemmy account today, as I found out that all of the subreddits I'm a part of hava (at least for now) migrated to lemmy. But I've been pretty much no time on reddit recently so idk...
