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.

[–] XEAL@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. Mostly because I got permabanned from Reddit about a year ago for making offensive jokes and trying to appeal a sub ban by using an alt account. Given what's happening now on Reddit, it seems I didn't lose much.

However, the fact that this site clearly states on its rules that it's not a free speech space means that it will never ever be as good as Reddit on its early years.

Haven’t gone back to Reddit since Apollo shut down. Given the way it’s now run I say “good riddance”. Hopped onto Lemmy since the Memmy app launched on iOS, and so far so good. I first joined Reddit in 2008, and Lenny has similar vibes now as Reddit did back then.

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

Yeah trying to at least. Signed up on lemmy.world and using wefwef atm. Wont be using reddit for much longer I don't think

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

Besides the obvious difference in users, I'm finding it remarkably similar to Reddit. Time will tell if it catches on in popularity.

[–] Quentinp@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Yes i have basically replaced Reddit at this point, other than if google search comes up with something I need.

I'm replacing Reddit with Lemmy.

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

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

[–] angrynomad 1 points 2 years ago

Na, I just quit Reddit and occasionally check in on Lemmy. Use my time for other things, like having an existential crisis

[–] jcb2016@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I left Reddit during the blackout and haven’t looked back. I check in my sub once in a while to see what the new mod has done to it. Seems like he re-opened it. He is the first one that told me about the blackout lol, Trader!

[–] SecretPancake@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Yes I deleted my Reddit account a week before Apollo was dead.

[–] psykick@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, first week was kinda rough with lack of content, but it’s quickly getting better.

Haven’t logged into Reddit since they announced the API changes.

Mostly. I paid for both rif and reddit premium. My subscription to reddit premium runs out in early August, so as a long as rif still works (mostly) I'll keep it on my phone's home screen next to Jerboa and alternative between the two.

That said, reddit has stopped allowing the porn subs to be accessed from third party apps, or at least from rif. I expect other restrictions to follow. So I expect I'll be getting of rif altogether in a month or so. Eventually rif for tildes (TIF?) will debut and I'm looking forward to that.

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

Already have 😏

[–] FARTYSHARTBLAST@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Mostly, yeah.

[–] dkn@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Interesting username lol

I use both side by side, I'm hoping for Lemmy to grow, but I know that in the near future Reddit will still continue to be active

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

No, because the niche subs aren't alive here.

[–] RockinGamr99@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I made an account a few days ago. I’m actually surprised at how similar the content is to the front page of reddit (albeit much less visibility). I think Lemmy does have what it takes to take over.

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

I would like to, but let's be real, i had a question about a game today and i went to Reddit because that game deosn't have a Lemmy community.

Reddit has more people, more content, and more history. Only an actual collapse will make Lemmy a superior alternative.

[–] hardypart@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

100%. Lemmy is my new drug.

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

I doomscroll only here, but I still refer (read only) to some niche communities for historical information on reddit. It’s still too small here for the small niches to have an active community. Trying to post more here too
