I'll be honest - as much as I hate u/spez after everything that happened in June, I would probably still be using Reddit if not for them outright killing third party apps. Losing Reddit is Fun was one thing, but I will never downloading the official app.
So yeah! Lemmy here we come. Hopefully the community continues to get livelier as time goes on.
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.
Besides the obvious difference in users, I'm finding it remarkably similar to Reddit. Time will tell if it catches on in popularity.
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
I'm replacing Reddit with Lemmy.
Yup
Yes i have basically replaced Reddit at this point, other than if google search comes up with something I need.
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!
Yep, easiest choice ever and the tech behind Lemmy and activity pub is so cool
Na, I just quit Reddit and occasionally check in on Lemmy. Use my time for other things, like having an existential crisis
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.
No, because the niche subs aren't alive here.
Who is Lenny?
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.
Already have 😏
Mostly, yeah.
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
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.
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.
Yes I deleted my Reddit account a week before Apollo was dead.
I abandoned Reddit entirely when Sync shut down. Beehaw and Lemmy at large seem like a (mostly) great place and I'm here to stay.
