Yeah, deleted RIF early and just pretend it doesn't exist. I'll probably use it if a useful answer pops up on Google, but not for scrolling.

Lemmy and Threads will have to fill the gap for now, but if they grow I don't see a problem at all.

Still checking Reddit a bit, but mostly because I've been following the war in Ukraine there a lot. Not checking other subs as much and installed Lemmy Connect, which makes Lemmy nicer to use than Reddit

[–] Niggling_Niggard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Slowly but surely. I can no longer check porn subs on Joey for Reddit so I might try to accelerate the migration.

[–] thatonedude1210@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I already have. There are some specialized subreddits I still peek at, but otherwise it's Lemmy all the way.

Infinity is still working at the moment but today I removed it from my home screen and replaced with a Lemmy app. There isn't a community replacement for every subreddit I follow just yet but hopefully Lemmy and other Fediverse services will continue to grow.

[–] EeeDawg101@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I’m fully on Lemmy now except when I need to find historical information - for example episode discussions from a TV show or how to fix computer issues, etc.

In the quest for endless growth all publicly traded companies eventually have to cut costs, jack up prices, or both. The investors expect a return on their investment.

Lemmy doesn't have that debt.

[–] Kempeth@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

To about 90% I have. Some communities still simply don't exist or are essentially dead, so for the times where I need something really specific or just a general content fix I still wander over. But it's been a fraction of the time I spent there previously.

Sucks for videos and gifs though. I don't want to click a blind link to see a gif or video

[–] greensky@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. Fuck reddit

[–] Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. I used both for a while but Reddit got quiet and no point in using Reddit without the apps.

[–] Atiran@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Yep. I was on Reddit for 12+ years, and used Apollo for many years recently. I never used β€œnew” Reddit or the official app. Quit and uninstalled Apollo a few days before the 1st.

Lemmy feels like home. And the fediverse concept is super interesting to me.

[–] xoagray@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

I don't even know anyone named Lenny. o.O

Joking aside for the most part I'm already pretty much more on here than there at this point. Only thing I still go there for is the one or two communities that I'm part of there that have no counterpart here. r/typewriters mainly.

[–] PRUSSIA_x86@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I quit reddit June 12th, popped in on a few subs on the 30th to say goodbye, then immediately hopped on Lemmy. It was a nice detox honestly.

[–] EveningPancakes@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I have cut off Reddit since June 12th. It's been a nice detox. While not everything is here it's okay with me. I have a 1 year old to chase around that's been primarily keeping my attention anyways.

I've mostly moved here, though some of my favorite subs dont have an equivalent community here as of now and I'm a bit bummed about losing them.

Mostly.

All I'm on Reddit for now is to watch it burn and to participate in the one subreddit I truly care about on there. I'm not participating in anything else on there at all.
