No LOL. I use Lemmy, I'll keep using Lemmy. Reddit has some communities that I don't have access to on here... So I use it too. I wish I didn't, but I don't feel dirty. I use adblock anyways so it's not even like I'm giving Reddit any money directly.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
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.
Posts and comments 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.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally 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.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I don't.
I haven't visited Reddit since the second day of the whole fiasco.
I am enjoying the last 2 weeks of Apollo, Lemmy has exceeded my expectations and I am going to be deleting my Reddit account on the 30th. Quality of Reddit has nosedived in the last two weeks so I don’t feel like I am missing anything.
I made the decision to wipe my account a few days early and monitor it. I'm glad I did, because Reddit has been un-deleting and un-deleting my posts and comments. I've had to re-edit/delete about ~300 comments and ~30 posts since yesterday.
They're un-deleting content that users are choosing to delete, that's disgusting
Yeah that goes too far for me. What if they change it to Nazi prop and ransomware you to your boss or family?

Well, yeah. That's why I'm mostly here instead.
My Redditing is down from hours daily to a few minutes, at a couple of specific subReddits with info and news I haven't yet been able to find elsewhere.
Yes, it's like me going into a nasty public restroom - gotta do my business asap and gtfo
Honestly, yes. I don't want to support what the owners of Reddit are doing. A lot of people are not going to leave there though until the place is completely radioactive though.
Yes, i accidentaly open it and then feel very off, then get reminded of lemmy. For some technical info i have to sneak past the front page directly to the specific sub. But the sub is migrating and its coming together better than i had imagined before.
Totally agree!
I find myself returning to Reddit just to share links to Lemmy communities and answer questions about it.
Yes, also because of all the nsfw content.
We don't go to Ravenholm anymore.
Not really, since I'm on 3rd party app and don't see ads. I'm liking lemmy, but the dynamic feed bug is really killing the experience for me. I know it doesn't happen on apps, but I prefer using a browser on my phone for now, until apps mature a bit more at least. This doesn't happen on kbin, but I miss being able to collapse comments like on lemmy.

Good thing this will be fixed in the next update!

I'm using Apollo until it shuts down. Then my only interaction with Reddit will be via old.reddit.com

please dont feel bad, it takes time to wean yourself off reddit
Just slowly reduce the amount of time you spend on it and spend more time on other stuff
However for you all out there, esp if you are a mod working hard to migrate your community here, we can understand going on reddit as a necessary evil to do in order to move your communities

I haven't taken baconreader off my phone yet because I'm not ready, but I also don't visit Reddit anymore either. I'm pretty happy on Lemmy right now, and I was thinking about giving Mastodon a go.

I've been wanting to quit reddit for a long time. It hasn't been the same for years, and it's just gotten worse over time. I'm hoping that lemmy provides me something close to what reddit used to give me: great quality discussion and debate concerning real ideas. Maybe I'm just getting older and more bitter over time, but it seems like the entire website is inundated with children on mobile devices who can't think of any idea more complex than one which can be summed up in a single sentence and a Laughing Crying emoji. If not, I'll see if I can't get a tildes invite. But, yes, going back to reddit feels like cheating on a diet, or smoking a cigarette when you're trying to quit.
YES.
echo "127.0.0.1 old.reddit.com" >> /etc/hosts
and never look back
echo "127.0.0.1 old.reddit.com" | sudo tee /etc/hosts
If you're not root

yes, I try really hard not to give them my eyeballs these days. I wish we crossposted with links less and just copied or screenshotted the info we are trying to share from there.
I have been slowly using it less and less over the years in general. It's still useful if I'm searching for something on DDG. I also still visit some of the small or local subs.
Other than the normie subs I still follow like my local city's sub, yeah, it feels like the party's over.
No client anymore, so cannot visit anymore
