Asklemmy

jesssir, deleted all my reddit accs

I mostly used reddit on desktop (old.reddit.com) so it shouldn't have made much difference to me, but boy, it did.

Ever since that API paywalling fiasco and mod rebellion, the overall quality of content has nosedived catastrophically. Just one look at r/all or r/popular would be enough to convince anyone.

I've completely left reddit and settled on Lemmy, just like most people here.

Definitely. I don't plan on downloading the official Reddit app anytime soon and for years I have been more of a lurker on Reddit but I am trying to break that and participate more on Lemmy. Really enjoying it so far.

not yet. because Lemmy is still quite small tbh. But, the thing is Since Reddit new API policy starts, my Reddit home feed filled with spam,bots and double posts from many subs. So, if this problem overwhelms my home feed. I might move to Lemmy permanently.

I didn't remove my Reddit account yet, but I stopped using it as soon as I tried Lemmy. As I expected, it's not perfect, it still needs some love on the technical side, but people and content are already here. I'm pretty happy with my feed so far. I can only see it grow and getting better, but I guess we'll find out how the fight with spam bots will be.

Lenny is dead, replacing him with George.

(But yes, switching to Lemmy from Reddit 😀)

I've basically left reddit for good. There's some thing I miss there but in general Lemmy fills that void enough that I don't have the urge to go back anymore. If I end up scrolling less because of smaller amount of content then good.

Yes, like many many others. For me, Baconreader was Reddit. Once that stopped working, I left Reddit.

I wonder how many people have 1st July as their Lemmy "cake day".

I've already deleted all of my posts and edited the comments to "FUCK YOU u/spez". I didn't delete the account because the little cunt has a reputation for editing user's comments, I'm just gonna mass edit them from time to time to be sure.

I even changed out the email with an alias one literally saying "fuckyouspez@..." and that fucker hasn't banned me yet.

I’m on lemmy a lot but not all the communities that I frequent on Reddit moved or have enough people over at lemmy.

It's a good 95% because I uninstalled the app. Lemmy has a lot of potential, and that's worth it.

Yep. I didn't bother installing the normal Reddit app but still needed something to read when all I've got is my phone. Lemmy looks promising.

The community reddit had was really good. I hope it is replicated here. I wonder is there is a way to transfer some of the reddit data here?

Yes i have basically replaced Reddit at this point, other than if google search comes up with something I need.

I'm an old lady and I'm trying, it's a little hard to navigate though, so I would say I spend less time here than I did Reddit, but I am 10 days fully clean from Reddit after a month of weaning. I've also started getting up and moving around more throughout my work day and listening to audiobooks and podcasts.

Right now using both.

Yes, fuck you spez

I only come to Reddit to check the status of my data takeout request and use teddit to check out /r/modcoord and /r/redditalternatives though they're winding down. Migration complete, after 3 years.

Yepp, waiting for the new Sync app but really liking it here so far.

no doubt. fuck reddit

On mobile absolutely, the past few days has seen a considerable amount of activity bump up. I am logged in on a new lurker account on reddit, but that's only for wrestling news and a podcast sub of mine. Fuck All.

Got some nsfw and philosophy subreddits that scratch a certain itch but it doesn't feel right using the terrible official client. Mostly using Lemmy nowadays.

I think you meant to post on asklenny xD

I'm in the process... Since they destroyed RiF, I've been going to the old Reddit website but it's just not the same anymore. I've been resisting downloading the Reddit app due to what they've done to the community but it's not easy.

Lemmy is nice and all but I find it confusing as it shows several communities (some with 0 MAU and some with plenty) whenever I search for it. I'm excited for the future of this one and the Mastodon one but they're just not as polished as their more established counterparts.

I have tried to but am currently using both although I only use reddit on my computer at home. Sadly I find that the content just isn't here. Sure there's a lot of tech and gaming stuff but if you aren't interested in that then there isn't all that much else

I browse Lemmy almost exclusively, but adding "reddit" to the end of a Google search is still the easiest way to solve issues I'm looking up.

Can't enjoy browsing Reddit on mobile without RiF, and won't use Reddit on PC at all anymore out of principle.

long live lemmy

Now that I’ve got an app on my phone, 100%. Reddit is just an ad platform these days. It’s sad.

I wasn't expecting to, but the official reddit app was worse than I expected, you can't sort by 'hot' anymore so it is literally not as interesting to look at. I haven't used it since the switch over and I don't miss it.

I'm more of a Carl guy, but Lenny will do.

Seriously, I can see this becoming a full replacement if users continue to migrate. Once Sync for Lemmy is out I will definitely be using that for my bored moments. For now, patched Reddit Sync is still working, so I'm still using it while I can.

That said, Reddit feels dead to me. Browsing now is absolutely not the same as before. As far as I'm concerned they committed suicide.

I mostly have by now, had to look for community analogues of the subreddits most important to me and create communties that I missed on lemmy. On Reddit I was mostly lurking around but here I actually have the motivation to post and manage communities, since I this is an open and decentralized platform.

Nope, it doesn't have the user base.. hopefully that changes but for right now, I'm using both.

Yes. 100%. Tinkering with my own lenny instance for me and my friends atm. Once "Sync for Lenny" drops ill bring them all aboard so its a smooth experience for the non-tech users. Also this is my first test post form my lenny instance! All hail LENNY!!

Yup girldick, I replaced Reddit with Lemmy and I'm happy!

I already have. I deleted all my Reddit posts and comments and deleted my account the other day. I'm all on the Lemmy train now.

Yep. The Reddit app I’ve been using no longer works so that’s where it ends. I actually stopped using Reddit two weeks before the change even took place because I knew I’d need time to readapt and get away from the platform. I’m glad I did that. I haven’t opened it since.

Yes. Reddit is only checked for about 2-3 subreddits, but I'm not checking it daily. Lemmy and Mastodon are my new best friends.

No, for the time. I like the idea but i see a lot of issues that hopefully get fixed in the future. For example the existence of 5 communities with the same name. Where do I join? it makes things more inconvenient. Finding communities is hard without 3rd party websites. If I search on my instance for a community that is on a different one I would like it to be shown as a search result and not having to get the URL and paste it in. Time will hopefully fix all these problems and Ill invest some time of my own to add features to this platform.

A few of my communities have not migrated at all, so I check back there occasionally.

Yes, deleted my Reddit account
