Haven't opened Reddit since the new API pricing dropped, Lemmy is doing fine for me so far!

[–] _Gr1zzel@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago

I use reddit only 2-3 times a month since the kill of third party apps.

[–] emptiestplace@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

I think we should focus on quality and thoughtful discussion. I appreciate stupid memes too, but if it were up to me that would be secondary - even if overall popularity takes a hit.

Also, less concern over Reddit would be nice. I was there from the Digg exodus until the API drama, so I understand the change aspect quite well, but if genuine conversation is what matters to you, the correct people are here now.

[–] Syenite@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Yep. Cold turkey.

[–] Mojimbo54321@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I did I enjoy lemmy for what it is. Like any social media just block defaults you don't like and tune it to your own subscriptions an its fine.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Mostly. It helps that Voyager looks exactly like Apollo. I forget I’m on lemmy sometimes.

[–] AccountMaker@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 years ago

I deleted my reddit account and browse lemmy daily. I do miss a few subs on reddit concerning ancient greece/greek and corvids, but it is what it is. I'm fairly satisfied with lemmy.

I wasn't sure whether I should completely drop Reddit, but now, after a month on Lemmy I can say that I stopped using Reddit

[–] Grayox@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

More than 4

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

Too many and, yet, not enough.

[–] t7tis@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mapped reddit.com to 127.0.0.1. My life is so much better now!

I did, I really just follow the sync app ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

If they didn't pull that API bs for sync, I wouldn't be here. No regurtz on the move tho

[–] Clearwater@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I got a Lemmy account with the main exodus, but my 3rd party Reddit app continued to work (though it slowly broke bit by bit) until just a couple days ago when it completely stopped working at all.

Now I've fully swapped off of Reddit and onto Lemmy.

When Sync stopped working on Reddit, I found kbin and Lemmy, and haven't looked back. Especially with Sync being on Lemmy. Reddit isn't worth the agitation anymore.

I nuked my 10yo account. I was so pissed about the API thing. Sadly, I do still find myself on random reddit threads if I'm looking for some specific info though...it's just not as easy to search for relevant info through Lemmy. But I do love the community for what it is though.

I've not been able to stop using Reddit because quite simply, some subs never migrated and they are major subs for me, such as /r/hockey. I've been using it less for sure and I've used Lemmy more, especially with Sync now available, but only time will tell.

I blows my mind that people still use it.

lemmy publishes activate user data, im pretty sure most or all came from reddit, but no way to know how many still active there

[–] lankybiker@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Dyed in the wool sync user

I haven't fully gave up on Reddit. There are communities that are still active over there but not here. However, I am still pretty optimistic that Lemmy will take off eventually. Reddit had been in the same situation as Lemmy right now when they were just in their beginning!

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I was on RIF for years, deleted everything and haven't gone back. It's kinda liberating, I don't spend nearly as much time here as I did Reddit, and it scratches the itch.

[–] Migillope@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I don't passively use it anymore, but I'll use it as a reference for past posts.

"How to determine undertone lemmy" doesn't really work like "... reddit"

[–] csigma@iusearchlinux.fyi 5 points 2 years ago

Stopped using Reddit when Infinity died

[–] oyenyaaow@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 years ago

technically, i dropped reddit for tumblr.....lemmy is a sometimes indulgences

[–] xill47@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I am switching between Sync for Lemmy and ReVanced clients for Reddit, generally since Lemmy doesn't have enough content that is interesting for me (ff14 community is basically dead on Lemmy, random maghjong riichi content is not there on Lemmy, world/news is basically the same as my meduza feed instead of random "what's around the globe", specific/non-general memes are not there, discussions are not active).
I hope it improves with time. I much prefer the notion of ActivityPub than that of centralized SM, but I guess the only real way forward is to force content gatekeepers to implement open apis...

[–] Wilshire@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Without RiF, there is no Reddit for me.

[–] jose1324@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm only now switched over because infinity for reddit free finally died

At least one, because I did. Totally uninstalled the app and only use the website for obscure google queries where Reddit is the only meaningful result

[–] SYLOH@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I'm still mostly on Reddit, but I've definitely cut down my participation. For example I stopped up/downvoting posts entirely. And haven't really been participating in askreddit / eli5

The post I've made are either mirrored, or limited to relatively obscure communities.

As for lemmy, still lurking, not quite ready to dive in.

[–] DoubleVV@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

I dropped it, and this is a good thing. I started to become addicted to my phone.

[–] mulcahey@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've almost entirely dropped reddit for Lemmy. I still go back to reddit for tech support and some niche communities that haven't made the jump yet. But I'd guess that my reddit usage is down 90% YOY.

You can't actually leave Reddit. That's like leading the city to go to the desert. The people are still in the city. No matter how many blackjack and hookers you bring to the desert.
