I've never used a Reddit client in my life (aside from the web interface, and that I didn't even use on a phone, just on a keyboard/mouse interface). But when they fucked over app users, I quit out of solidarity.

Though how far Reddit had its head up it's own ass with regard to blockchain/NFT bullshit was a significant contributing factor as well.

And Reddit killing its API also happened not long after WotC tried to fuck over D&D players with their OGL1.1 bullshit. The community response is what got WotC to back down on that, and I was drunk enough on that victory to believe that quitting Reddit would do something positive. (Mind you, WotC didn't learn their lesson. They sent the Pinkertons after one of their own innocent customers because... well because they're WotC, apparently.)

I pretty much went from using Reddit daily but grumbling about them to quitting Reddit and signing up for Lemmy over the course of less than a day. My "journey" was extremely quick.

The one community I probably miss most is /r/bestoflegaladvice. Lemmy just doesn't have the amount of engagement to make that a possibility here. There used to be a /c/bestoflegaladvice somewhere, but it was literally just reposts from Reddit. And engaging with that seemed incongruent with the aims of my Reddit boycott.
