It is possible to estimate?

Not for Lemmy precisely, but I said f it and never gone back(excluding random click). Trying to help AK community I was involved past few years. Moderating a bit on kbin AK magazine, but mostly either spend time on Discord where mix of reddit and non reddit sitting. Mastodon for more serious information and interaction with Lemmy, while Misskey for Arknights fanart/art with hopes that some federates to Kbin magazine(lately # not picking up sadly). Waiting for better mod tools, federation fixes.

I switched and in the end that's all that matters, you're welcome everyone

Does use include viewing it in search engine results? Or do you mean actively posting to it?

I do the former but not the latter.

I've only gone back to Reddit when Google lead me there. Otherwise, I'm here.

I did, completely. I don't spend as much time on Lemmy as I used to on Reddit, but I net more enjoyment out of the experience.

+1

Tbh I felt Reddit was getting less interesting and more of a habit, Apollo was the last straw. Lemmy is small and a much less active, but more random. Prob good to reduce the mindless scrolling.

Yeah, I stopped using Reddit completely and it has given me a lot of time back in my day. I enjoy Lemmy, but it is not as content rich - which is good because I don't stick around as much as I did on Reddit. It's just enough, should have kicked reddit years ago honestly

[–] tentaclius@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Count me in. Removed my account after I had heard that admins are removing mods from the closed/nsfw subreddits. The content on Lemmy is not that diverse yet, I miss regional or nieche technical communities sometimes. But I hope things will get better eventually.

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago

Not that meant of us obviously.

Enough that it has really helped Lemmy. Too few to materially impact Reddit.

I switched the day after Boost went dark. The only times I go on Reddit are when I Google something and a reddit link comes up. Lemme definitely isn't a 1:1, but I kinda like it more because the user base seems better quality. I've made more posts/comments in my few months on Lemmy than I did in my few years on Reddit.

I did! They banned my account after a dispute with a Mod claiming I was being islamaphobic for asking about professor who was killed for supposedly showing a picture of Muhammad (which later turned out the daughter lied about) by a girl's father who was mad man who claimed Islam. The post was praising Islam for being a religion of peace and anyone who said differently didn't understand... so I asked about that case.... got banned from the sub.. argued with the mod, who then reported.e for harassment to the Reddit team and boom, permanently banned, no appeal option... My four year account and 97k karma gone.. then they banned my Alt account because of my phone IP address... I was so pissed.. tried VPNs too.. no good after a while..

Then I googled reddit alternatives, and a few scrolls down, I saw a forum from lemmy discusing how it had just launched as the reddit alternative and to try it.. I am glad I did. I like this better.. I wish there was more content though.. I love certain shows and love discussion about them. Like MTV the challenge or what we do in the shadows... Lemmy is so new, it doesn't have all those communitys just yet but I am happy to be here and watch the site grow.

I did. I deleted my Reddit account on July 2. I was using Lemmy.world as my main since the middle of June, but lately I've been using this instance because of lemmy.world's constant issues.

I refuse to use the official Reddit app, and while Narwhal is fine and all, it seems like any third-party app's days are numbered, whether they pay up or not. And while spez said Old Reddit isn't going anywhere, he also said he wasn't going to copy Elon.

I was a part of the chapo exodus and found myself just going to the hexbear instead of the reddit to the point that I just pop into reddit like once or twice a year.

[–] rab@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

I dropped reddit and I don't really use lemmy that much either

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I haven't loved back in since Sync for reddit stored working.

[–] CapitanStrider@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty much done with it. I do the occasional search for piracy content with a search engine but other than that I get my fill of internet surfing elsewhere.

[–] barnsbauer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

There are dozens of us.

In all seriousness, I do occasionally visit select subreddits even though I no longer have an account. I'd like to think leaving reddit has changed my internet browsing habits in a good way.

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 4 points 2 years ago

Maybe make a poll?

[–] vamp07@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I maintain my account for reference, but rarely visit unless I'm searching for something unavailable here. All my interactions take place here.

[–] Betch@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I left. I check reddit maybe once every 2 weeks for one single subreddit, for medical reasons. It's still the best source of information for me in this particular situation.

Sometimes I miss the constant feed of fresh posts but then I remember that I really don't need that. I'm still up to date on pretty much everything I need with Lemmy and I'm not constantly doomscrolling like I was on reddit.
