I've been on Lemmy and off Reddit since RIF died. Hope it grows, but so far it doesn't replace the reason I used reddit. The frontpage/hot posts are similar and even better than Reddit. But I never cared about those on Reddit anyway, they were mostly junk content that I didn't care about. Reddit was great because you could find a highly active niche community for ANYTHING. Find a new show you like? There's a subreddit with deep discussions of every episode, and fan theories about hidden details. Are you a scientist with a specific field who wants to stay up to date on new research in your field? Well the subreddit for your field is filled with other scientists discussing newly published research.

If course I don't expect Lemmy to be able to do that immediately. That requires a huge userbase and years of time building these small communities. Hope Lemmy can do it, pissed that Reddit already did it and now is trying to ruin it

Yup , haven’t been back to Reddit since Apollo went dark.

I've replaced all discussion on Reddit with Lemmy. I still browse Reddit due to it still having some communities with content I still have to access such as Jumpchain and modding Elder Scrolls.

I've moved all my normal hobby discussions over here and am only using Reddit as part of my job. (85% of Tech Support is finding someone who had the same one-off issue 8 years ago, and usually the answer is in a Reddit thread)

Haven't even opened reddit from google results since the protest started. I've also been removing subreddits from my RSS reader

Yeah trying to at least. Signed up on lemmy.world and using wefwef atm. Wont be using reddit for much longer I don't think

This made my day πŸ˜‚

Yes. I'm looking forward to better search functionality on instances though. It's kind of hard to search if something's been asked or posted already on mobile (using Liftoff, but I've also tried Jerboa and Connect)

Interesting username lol

I use both side by side, I'm hoping for Lemmy to grow, but I know that in the near future Reddit will still continue to be active
