Ask Lemmy

Lemmy only. I quit Reddit when the third party apps fell.

I do miss some of the niche hobby subreddits, but fuck Spez. If I need to find some info, I can access it via search engines.

Otherwise I'm perfectly happy with Lemmy, people are generally much nicer and there's more than enough content. Reddit was so overbloated that this smaller universe is quite enough for me.

Only decentralized open source social media for me

My 10+ year old account with high karma was perma banned overnight I got into an argument with a power tripping rad left mod. I'm left leaning politically, however if you arent rad left on Reddit then youre a fascist. They love that echo chamber. Honestly one of the best thibgs to ever happen to me. Reddit is bad for your mental health. And their power tripping mods are pretty much nazis

Oh I only use Lemmy, I didn't use Reddit in the past anyway, Lemmy is my first actual experience

haven't used reddit once since Spez's mod-melting-bullshit. don't anticipate ever going back. bluesky + lemmy is more than enough distraction for me.

Lemmy only.

I check Reddit like 5-10 minutes a week max and usually only if i land there via searches and just do a quick gloss over anything ive potentially missed. But compare that to the hours a week in habitually using lemmy (for better and/or worse i guess haha)

I basically only use Lemmy. Since reddit first tried to restrict their API I've been outta there. Other that that I use Facebook for marketplace because less and less is on Craigslist

Not yet. Reddit and Lemmy are my only social media, I don't use anything else--I only see content from other sites, like TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc., on Reddit or Lemmy. There are a couple of klunky things about the Lemmy interface that bug me, which I've complained about already. And, the Lemmy communities I'm more interested in are not active enough to satisfy me. Lemmy still feels empty, but it's getting better.

I haven’t been back since the killing of third party apps. I had no interest in using Reddit any other way. I haven’t been back and I won’t go back. The Fediverse is better in every conceivable way.

I return to Reddit mostly to harvest memes to bring here, or to ask obscure questions that I don't think there's enough of an audience here to get a good answer (I'm still looking for the "The Swaggoraki are swarming!" pic, if any Warhammer meme fans can find it)

i sometimes use bsky, but other than that, just lemmy.

I maintain a reddit account linked to a burner email so that I can occasionally ask questions that I can't find the answer too elsewhere. Other than that the only social media I use is Lemmy.

I'd love to only use lemmy, but there aren't enough posts. I use lemmy for 2 days in a row, then reddit for 2-3 days in a row, repeat.

I’d love to but how tf do we get more users here?? HOW

Reddit sucks. I'm here only.

Til that I'm hardcore

Got banned from reddit but in the end they actually did me a favor.

Personally I use reddit a lot more than lemmy. My interests aren't well represented here on lemmy. Still come here sometimes though.

I only use Lemmy since the reddit API Fuck up.

Sometimes, if I am looking for information, I visit reddit, but I treat it like any other random forum I look up something, take the info and fuck off again.

I use YouTube, if you wanna count that. I don't comment there and use Newpipe or PipePipe, so only consuming and no participation there too.

I haven't used any other social media, like Facebook or Instagram, so nothing hardcore for me in just continuing not to do so.

sometimes open old.reddit.com when i need info but otherwise lemmy and i compartmentalize accounts into different languages

My social media accounts are here, reddit, and Mastodon. Local community subreddit is too useful.

I haven't used reddit since they removed the free API that FOSS apps were using. Lemmy is the only "reddit like" that I've used since. As for other social media, I left Facebook over 10 years ago, never used twitter, or anything newer that isn't FOSS and federated. I've used mastodon since 2017. So I guess that makes me hardcore?

I haven't looked at reddit since whenever they disabled 3rd party apps. I was on kbin for a while but find myself over here now.

When I'm researching something and a reddit link pops up in search results, I'll check it. But I have abandoned my account and won't be logging back in. Aside from that, I try to be as hardcore as possible.

Trump's election is what did it for me. That and Reddit's user experience had become so watered down with slop and bad content presentation in general. I've unsubscribed from Amazon, no Paypal, deleted Facebook, stopped using Gmail mostly (still working on that), deleted Instagram, stopped watching CNN, stopped allowing tracking and fingerprinting as much as possible. If your site tracks, I'm using another unless it is reasonable for the application.

Since then, on my phone, I use FOSS browser, NextDNS, Eternity for Lemmy, Pixelfed and Mastodon. For all my searching, I started using Swisscows, but now I am searching with SearxNG. Also, I am trying Proton, Tutanota, and kollabnow for email. Got Arch Linux on laptop because Microsoft tracking and snooping is so far out of control it should be illegal 50 different ways.

Fuck those techbros. This is now our civic duty.

I do check other media but I do not participate in them anymore, e.g. I browse reddit or https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/ but I deleted my account months ago.

Lemmy & Reddit. Subs for my language are very quiet here, so I use Reddit for that.

Got banned from reddit for being pro ukraine and saying the german trainsystem management structure needs to be destroyed and rebuild a new.

So yeah only lemmy for me

Just Lemmy for me. They pissed me the fuck off and i'm a stubborn bastard.

I haven't browsed Reddit since the creation of my Lemmy account (~2years ago); though I've wound up viewing a Reddit thread or two via a google search on rare occasion. Beyond those two, the only other 'social media' I've used in at least a decade is Youtube.
