It is possible to estimate?

I use lemmy on my phone, but for the rare occasions I am at my PC I still use reddit, because there are active communities there that don't exist here unfortunately.

I did. Barring search results.

Me but reddit comes up in searches and I still have to go to it for things like local postings and gaming stuff

[–] mayflower@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I dropped reddit but I do occasionally check for specific technical stuff anonymously sometimes.

I quit when Joey for Reddit finally got taken down.

Honestly, the people here seem kinder and more intelligent, even if I don't agree with what they're saying.

I left as soon as the news dropped, didn't wait for it to happen.

I'm about 1% as active on Reddit as I used to be. I unsubbed from most of the subreddits I used to follow. I only stick around for a few communities that haven't moved to other platforms, but I make an effort to not comment or post nearly as often as before.

Crazy what happens when you kill the tool that 99% of my use of your platform was done through, huh, Spez?

I'm one, but Lemmy doesn't have it. Idk if it is the hot or top algorithm, the development of mature communities, or moderation of the communities, but Lemmy doesn't engage me like Reddit does. I moved on from reddit, but Lemmy is much less engaging.

Yep. Deleted my account and all previous comment and post history. Haven't gone back.

Deleted my two main accounts and I think 3 alts that I could still remember, and haven't been back since. I can't use social media without Sync.

The only thing I go on Reddit for now at the moment is to browse their comic sub once every now and then.

But that's not completely dropping Reddit. Because Lemmy/Kbin is still in its early stages there'll be a lot of people who spend most of their time here but occasionally go to Reddit for that one sub or for some particular thing that's not quite made it here yet.

I dropped reddit years ago. I'm currently on lemmy. So I didn't drop reddit for lemmy, but I did used to use reddit and am now a user here.

I've tried many of the alternatives but most of them were ended up pretty bad. Lemmy shows promise but is pretty reddit-y and I think over time it's basically going to become a big circle-jerk just like reddit. It's decent-ish for now though.

I use both for different types of contents. Reddit has so many small niche communities that are currently still irreplaceable for me.

[–] ToadCultist@mander.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Me! Admittedly I still do use Reddit occasionally for particularity niche subreddits but I do enjoy Lemmy a lot more!

Used a script to delete all my comments. Nuked two ten year old accounts.

Commenting for sake of a headcount lol

I'm no expert but best guess would be to get an estimate of all the new Lemmy users - there seem to be a few floating around - then run a poll in a few instances and estimate based on those results.
