For actual conversations, yeah. I still check one subreddit daily for game leak updates, but that's pretty much it.

Not replacing. But trying to be honest. And I'm liking Lemmy with "Connect" app pretty much.

Can't believe Reddit can't pay to any of these Devs to revamp their shitty low performance app.

But anyway. I'm like the idea of the Lemmy instances etc.

They can they just deliberately chose to make it shitty.

Happens at the governments, happens at the companies.

I work in some IT projects with like 20-30 people and literally 3-4 of us would be enough. Same thing is probably happening at Reddit.

I can't imagine how many managers, Devs, offshore etc are involved in that shitty Reddit app that is 100 times worse than Infinity, Boost and many more Reddit 3rd party apps.

Yes. It's different enough that I am not taking it as a one to one replacement, but moving on to a quieter, calmer place.

I thought I might use Tumblr for another angle of replacing part of reddit, but it doesn't seem to be the place for me. I'm not a rabid fan of any one thing, so it seems like so much hype and I don't like the lack of conversation there.

This place has the threaded comments, and respectful conversation.

I did. I had one sub that I wanted to keep up with so I added them into my RSS reader and spend my time on Lemmy.

[–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Other than some specific subs, yes

[–] siliril@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm using it on my phone, but still browsing Reddit on PC. Going well so far and I assume as I find more communities on Lemmy that I enjoy my use of reddit will slowly decrease.

Yeap, I moved a week before on Lemmy. Took couple of days to figure out how it actually works.

During that time opened a bunch of accounts on different instances.

Now I am on a small instance, which is near my location, so speed is good.

I stopped visiting that place since then. Now I only contribute here. I don't want to give them free labor so that they can make money.

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

with my 3rd party app of choise diem my reddit usage so no more reddit for me

[–] TheSleepMovement@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

So far yep! Why not?

Reddit has no loyalty to me so why should I have to it?

Ultimately I just want some interesting useless funny shit to look at. Doesn't matter where it comes from.

This is my first Lemmy comment ever!

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yup. I was checking in with reddit for a while there but have stopped. I like the vibe of this place so far.

[–] checkforupdates@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. I stopped using Reddit during the blackouts and haven’t turned back. Lemmy so far has been a good replacement in all ways. Fuck spez!

[–] vert3xo@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I came here before June 15th and Lemmy seems more alive every day. I only ever used Reddit's official app but I haven't been back since the API changes took place.

[–] sveri@lemmy.sveri.de 2 points 2 years ago

I like it way more here. It's so much faster and there are no ads.

The reddit app is just bad and slow.

[–] squirrel_bear@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

I'm trying, but there are a lot of people and communities who don't follow. The corporate are just too powerful at the moment. Like Facebook's new Threads is replacing Twitter, instead of Mastodon. Here in Finland Mastodon had it's moment and people were migrating to that, but I dunno.

[–] Trainzkid@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, next question

[–] jininjin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How do you find your favorite community? Can't anything yet. I'm using connect on Lemmy.world. every search ends up with nothing much.

Yes. For me, reddit was Apollo, haven’t used it since

[–] preasket@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago

Tbh, no. I never used Reddit much.

[–] chakan2@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Trying. But the experience isn't all there yet.
