Yes, not sticking around while it slowly becomes a worse and worse user experience

Yes. My username says it all. Late to the party because the fortress of Lemmy has been extremely difficult & discouraging to scale but today I finally did it.

Already did replace it with Lemmy several months ago.

I never used Reddit before this, I didnโ€™t really like the idea of using Reddit. But now I can use Reddit without actually using Reddit.

I uninstalled Reddit when Infinity died

[โ€“] Auzy@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I don't have any accounts in reddit anymore. I only browse reddit maybe for 5 mins a day now. I could block reddit without barely noticing at this time

[โ€“] Philo@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I am but I'm not sure why everyone complaint of ads but still using Reddit doesn't just use Reddit Revancec?

[โ€“] Thoxy@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

This made my day ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] Runfour@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I just have to find some of my communities here then thats it.

[โ€“] Scolding7300@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

They were going to kill Infinity. Still worked on July 1st but decided to just preemptively pull thr plug

[โ€“] Cyantraveller@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, I still have to get some info from my reddit account before deleting everything, but soon.

[โ€“] Boldizzle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yup, was a loyal Sync For Reddit user. Wasn't sure how I was going to cope to be honest but Lemmy has been great so far.

[โ€“] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Trying to completely leave reddit as of a few days ago when boost finally stopped working. I haven't been back so far and this is my primary site now and also following discuit in hopes it grows bigger than it currently is.

I know I will use reddit for work when I have technical questions but that's it.

[โ€“] schwim@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Completely switched the day before 3d party access was monetized and crippled.

[โ€“] kalayo@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

well yeah for the most part but it has been tough as some of my communities have are non existent here or little activity so i still go through old reddit and look at some subreddits.

[โ€“] CheeseAndCrepes@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Iโ€™m pretty close. I still check a few smaller Reddit communities but only when Iโ€™m on my pc in the browser. Almost all interacting (posting and comments) is on Lemmy now.

[โ€“] DundasStation@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago

I'm bouncing around Reddit and Lemmy. Won't be contributing much to Reddit anymore and will be posting and commenting on Lemmy.

[โ€“] Rev@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

So far am trying too. I usully get most of my news from reddit during normal use. Would normally browse by Hot on R/all and first few posts were typically "important" news articles. Don't really see the same amount of posts here. Maybe will pick up during election season or will have to break down and find a more dedicated news server.

[โ€“] pixelPastry@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I use lemmy occasionally. I do feel the impact of a significantly smaller community though. A lot of the subreddits I would regularly check are not even here. So unfortunately for now, Iโ€™m forced to use the official app. Tried the RSS route too, but it seems it would be too expensive for me.

Iโ€™m sure the lemmy community will continue to grow, so Iโ€™ll stick around.

[โ€“] arghya_333@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I didn't get why RSS would be expensive. Are you talking about time expensive?

Absolutely.

[โ€“] CoffeeBlood91@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago

I refuse to go on Reddit, it sucks because it takes way longer to find the answers I search for.

[โ€“] victron@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I already did, during the blackout. I honestly didn't have much hope for things to improve or roll back. Also, in the last month I've seen the communities grow a lot, so I don't miss reddit that much.

I am, here's the proof:
