I wish but I couldn’t load the comments at the first place…

Yes. I haven't gone back to reddit in a few weeks now.

[–] nic@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

i still have a million things 'saved' on reddit i need to check out and there's that one niche sub i lurk that doesn't seem to want to migrate but other than that yeah this is it for me. lemm.ee + wefwef

95% at the moment in favour of ~~YNNEL~~ Lemmy, with the occasional need to check in at the other place for niche interests and sport forums (there's very little I've found in terms of pro wrestling, cricket and rugby discussions over here so far). As and when those communities develop over here, I'll ditch the other place completely.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Not really. I stopped using Reddit and even though I am using lemmy it so far hasn’t been a true replacement. Overall my engagement has gone down hill significantly. I might check lemmy once or twice a day. I used to be on Reddit all day. Ultimately this is better for me overall. Even if I wanted to there just isn’t enough content for lemmy to be a replacement for my Reddit usage.

Already have, reddit's just for getting decent results in Google

[–] s0q@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The community reddit had was really good. I hope it is replicated here. I wonder is there is a way to transfer some of the reddit data here?

I'm an old lady and I'm trying, it's a little hard to navigate though, so I would say I spend less time here than I did Reddit, but I am 10 days fully clean from Reddit after a month of weaning. I've also started getting up and moving around more throughout my work day and listening to audiobooks and podcasts.

I don't really use Reddit any more.

[–] trouser_mouse@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I only post on lemming now

Maybe one day, maybe it's using Connect but it seems like no matter what filter I use I keep seeing the same posts (and the majority of it about reddit) so I've definitely added it into my rotation, but doesn't quite feel like it's enough yet.

[–] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. I am pissed at Reddit with the whole API shitstorm and because of this I found out about the Fediverse, went down the whole Lemmy/Mastodon/Pixelfed rabbit hole and couldn't be happier.

I was ready to leave Reddit last week, when my third party app stop working... but it doesn't stop and now, everytime i open Joey for Reddit i kinda wish it don't work anymore, cause i think why should i leave, if it works?

I'm using Reddit about 60% less than before.

[–] itsnotlupus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I have a small userscript/style tweak to remove all input fields from reddit, so I'm still allowing myself to browse reddit in read-only mode on desktop, with no mobile access.

It's a gentle way to wean myself off. I'm still waiting for my GDPR data dump anyway, so I need to check reddit fairly regularly to be able to grab it when/if it arrives.

I won't be able to fully replace it, I'm afraid. Not before communities gain the ability for their posts to not show up in high traffic feeds.

Some subreddits I follow have this set, but this is not yet implemented in Lemmy if I'm not mistaken. So a workable move to Lemmy for them is not possible at this moment.

Who's Lenny. Kidding. Yes, I replaced Reddit at the beginning of June, when that little fucktard, u/spez, confirmed that he's not bending on the policy. Slowly nuked my account over the course of that month. ~~Lenny~~ Lemmy (friggin autocorrect hahaha what irony) is my new best friend.

Yes, between here and mastodon I got enough content

[–] cicapocok@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I pretty much did already, still check on 2 or 3 communities when I am front of a computer but I hope lemmy while become more active and I will not feel like I am missing out.

[–] CreativeCider@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Edited my comments in reddit and left. And haven't logged back in since.

I like how you can feel the interactions and communities growing here.

Ditched Reddit, never looked back. It's waaaaay better here. Even running my own instance because why not? :)

[–] moonwalker@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. I haven't used reddit since I signed up for Lemmy.
