yes. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't

I'm done with Reddit as much as I can be. Conveniently they placed a block on my account because of "suspicious activity". So that helped.
For browsing I have converted to Lemmy. For getting answers from a Google search I still click on the Reddit option. Lemmy doesn't show on a Google search and other forums are useless for information. Minus stack overflow.

So far this year I have gone Twitter -> Mastodon and now Reddit -> Lemmy. Not all the people/subs I used to interact with have moved, but I don't miss them - well maybe some of the games subs but I'm sure at some point they'll appear. In general more than happy with the move :)
Partially.... It's similar situation that I have with Twitter and Mastodon. Simply, there are subreddits that not have (yet) the equivalent on Lemmy or refused to move to Lemmy (or moved to Radle)
Pretty much. I'll def never log in again.
I have replaced it as my active site,
So there is still stuff that's more active on reddit, like football news, but I am now just a lurker there I don't contribute I just read if there is an update then if it's relevant I post it from there to Lemmy, so we can start building a community here.
I think nobody would start a new community on Reddit, just makes sense to build something new on a Lemmy instance π°
These things do cost time and money and the security code still needs to be written in blood, but it'll be fun.
No. I did.
Yup.
What people should be aware of and spread awareness of the fact that Reddit did not become popular in a day, week or month. Secondly the content that makes reddit valued comes from the users, the community and that can be reproduced and continued at Lemmy.
I pretty much replaced Reddit with Lemmy, and might even delete my Reddit account at some point. I think I'm not visiting this website often enough, but that's because it's not as tantalizing as Reddit, especially on web. But I do want to visit this place more often. I don't want to miss out on what's happening.
I made it cozy already at Squabbles.io, but I'm giving Lemmy a try. Since Joey still works I do browse Reddit now and then.
Yes, I am now 90% on Lemmy - the new Memmy app for my iPad is close to Apollo-quality and Liftoff on my Android phone (S21) is βalmostβ as good as Sync for Reddit was.
For Reddit, I am using RSS feeds only to browse for any posts that interest me - I am trying to not give them traffic if at all possible.
The content on Lemmy is getting better every day!
I'm about a week clean now, content has been really good
Nope I'm replacing with Lemmy. π
