Dyed in the wool sync user

More than 4

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

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.

Yep. Cold turkey.

Too many and, yet, not enough.

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.

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

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

I did

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.

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

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 did! They banned my account after a dispute with a Mod claiming I was being islamaphobic for asking about professor who was killed for supposedly showing a picture of Muhammad (which later turned out the daughter lied about) by a girl's father who was mad man who claimed Islam. The post was praising Islam for being a religion of peace and anyone who said differently didn't understand... so I asked about that case.... got banned from the sub.. argued with the mod, who then reported.e for harassment to the Reddit team and boom, permanently banned, no appeal option... My four year account and 97k karma gone.. then they banned my Alt account because of my phone IP address... I was so pissed.. tried VPNs too.. no good after a while..

Then I googled reddit alternatives, and a few scrolls down, I saw a forum from lemmy discusing how it had just launched as the reddit alternative and to try it.. I am glad I did. I like this better.. I wish there was more content though.. I love certain shows and love discussion about them. Like MTV the challenge or what we do in the shadows... Lemmy is so new, it doesn't have all those communitys just yet but I am happy to be here and watch the site grow.

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.

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

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

I blows my mind that people still use it.

I used infinity for reddit app to surf reddit, when they started charging for api, app become unusable then i switched to eternity for lemmy and i love it

🙋‍♂️

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 did. Used a tool that purged my entire history.

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

Me me me

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!

I think if Reddit was really good, 90% of the people here would not have a good reason to use Lemmy. I was on Lemmy before the blackout & it wasn't great; had I plugged it then, many would be reluctant to switch. Now, it is amazing, and Reddit ensured that Lemmy got a nice influx of users to make that happen :)

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.

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.

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.

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

1 here, occasionally I view an old post while troubleshooting something and a Reddit page has the answer. Always with an ad blocker and old Reddit though of course so Spez gets nothing from me

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"

I have dropped it, approximately by 98%

I mainly browse Lemmy here with Sync for Lemmy, and when I want some more niche stuff I head up to Reddit with patched Sync for Reddit, so yeah, Sync is always with me.

🙋🏻‍♂️

Another +1

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...
