Yes. I got off reddit a while ago due to privacy and censorship issues on top of pushing/promoting content that annoyed me or I didn't have any interest in. Been on the fediverse for a while and enjoyed that and was happy to hear there's a federated reddit alternative.

I only check Reddit now for a game sub which, while on Lemmy, doesn't have critical mass yet (and I'm not sure it will).
I think nobody would start a new community on Reddit, just makes sense to build something new on a Lemmy instance π°
These things do cost time and money and the security code still needs to be written in blood, but it'll be fun.
I gave Lemmy a shot after the API debacle on reddit. First week was bumpy with lots of timeouts and servers that weren't able to handle all the new users from reddit.
It quickly improved. So much so that I went ahead and deleted my reddit account.
Mostly
A couple communities I enjoyed haven't come over yet but now that I can only check them on my PC I really only hop over there once a week.
I really dig this place over reddit though, it's a lot more chill and way better for my mental health.

yes. been on reddit for almost 10 years, and all of those were on RIF. Miss it but i hope this will be a great new place to call home :) hopefully more folks migrate over
Yes, as should everyone.
Yes, I did. I was a lurker and not really a heavy user. It was fun while it lasted. Let's make this the real frontpage.
I did! To be honest I started to use Mastodon much more, but whenever I want to go back to old Reddit vibes, itβs Lemmy only
Yep, left it cold turkey when the protests started as 99.95% of my browsing was done through Apollo.
I'm done with Reddit as much as I can be. Conveniently they placed a block on my account because of "suspicious activity". So that helped.
Sure do.
I love the idea behind a decentralized discussion-world!
I'm trying to ser up my own Lemmy, but damn, it is hard sweating!
Sadly, no. Just not enough content on Lemmy, yet.
As somebody who just uses the mobile site on Firefox, I didn't really feel affected by the API changes (besides the fact that Reddit once again showed their ugly face). All the subs I care about feel unchanged.

I'm about a week clean now, content has been really good
yes. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't
I made it cozy already at Squabbles.io, but I'm giving Lemmy a try. Since Joey still works I do browse Reddit now and then.
For browsing I have converted to Lemmy. For getting answers from a Google search I still click on the Reddit option. Lemmy doesn't show on a Google search and other forums are useless for information. Minus stack overflow.

Lenny?
Already done.
I havent deleted my reddit account, but Im using reddit a lot less now
Pretty much. I'll def never log in again.
Maybe if we talked about anything other than other social media sites I would.
