I left as soon as the news dropped, didn't wait for it to happen.
me
Me too
Deleted my two main accounts and I think 3 alts that I could still remember, and haven't been back since. I can't use social media without Sync.
Lost my main account when theybgot rid of third party apps, that account was banned from news subreddits for calling g chuds fascists and dumbasses so now every new account gets suspended for "ban evaison" so now it's basically just a lib take aggregator I can't interact with
I did not dropped reddit completely, occasionally going in there through google searches but ever since the api fiasco I've never visited the site directly. I still haven't deleted my account but didn't used it since then and is planning to delete it. Lemmy does not have a lot of content and the niche communities compared to reddit. That is not a bad thing though and instead it had stopped me from mindless scrolling I picked up from using reddit.
I use both but my Reddit usage is down. There are communities there that don’t have a replacement here yet
I still go back to reddit for specialized subs which don't have equivalents here, but that's only in my work desktop.
I also delete my replies after a few days
All my mobile browsing is done on sync and I'm here 75% of the time
Me
There are dozens of us! Literally dozens!
Count me in.
Stopped (regularly) browsing it mid-June. Still haven't deleted my accounts because I am still not sure if all of my comments and posts over there have been truly cleaned off.
It's a pain when search results point me to Huffman's site, but with the Privacy Redirect add-on redirecting me to an alternative frontend, and failing that, manually checking the archived version of the page, I've mostly eliminated any visits to that place.
Does it count people banned from Reddit?
At least 3
I'm one, but Lemmy doesn't have it. Idk if it is the hot or top algorithm, the development of mature communities, or moderation of the communities, but Lemmy doesn't engage me like Reddit does. I moved on from reddit, but Lemmy is much less engaging.
I use both for different types of contents. Reddit has so many small niche communities that are currently still irreplaceable for me.
I don't know how you could track uninstalls outside of informal polls. I'd consider myself as having fully dropped Reddit for Lemmy, but on occasion I'll follow a link on Lemmy to the Reddit site.
Monthly active users gives a rough estimate but doesn't account for people registering on multiple servers and alt accounts (and of course we can't forget the occasional toxic spammer). But subtracting that from Reddit traffic barely puts a dent in it.
I think Reddit will stay a similar size or continue to grow a bit, but overall quality of it has been circling the drain for a while now. I don't think the IPO is going to help at all with that, only make it worse.
I did. Add 1 to your count.
I still look at Reddit daily. There's insufficient niche content here for it to be a reddit replacement unless you're only into memes, linux, or radical left politics. I'll be happy to make the switch complete when there are communities active enough to replace the ones on reddit.
Well it went from ~1400 active users to ~69k users in <1 mo, according to fedidb.org
I would use this more of I could find a decent app. Any suggestions?
There are a lot of good apps for Lemmy now. Voyager, Sync, Jerboa, Connect etc. Boost is also coming soon.
I left and never looked back ever since.
I think that I am in some federated space connected to here from somewhere else. Or I don't know. But I quit socializing in that other place and socialize around here where I can see and communicate with yous peoples.
Me, Sync for Lemmy. Sync was reddit for me. Now ita Lemmy for me.
We need so someone that can count all the "I did" messages and use that as a crappy metric lol.
