I still go back to reddit for specialized subs which don't have equivalents here, but that's only in my work desktop.
I also delete my replies after a few days
All my mobile browsing is done on sync and I'm here 75% of the time

Never posted on reddit, most communities seemed hostile and unwilling to hear different perspectives. People here seem a lot more reasonable.
I maintain my account for reference, but rarely visit unless I'm searching for something unavailable here. All my interactions take place here.
You can make a few educated guesses based on the jump in lemme users at the time the protest happened.
I still look at Reddit occasionally. But I my usage is like a tenth what it was.
Me too. I haven't used Reddit at all since RIF stopped working on 1st July.
I left. I check reddit maybe once every 2 weeks for one single subreddit, for medical reasons. It's still the best source of information for me in this particular situation.
Sometimes I miss the constant feed of fresh posts but then I remember that I really don't need that. I'm still up to date on pretty much everything I need with Lemmy and I'm not constantly doomscrolling like I was on reddit.
There are dozens of us.
In all seriousness, I do occasionally visit select subreddits even though I no longer have an account. I'd like to think leaving reddit has changed my internet browsing habits in a good way.
I haven't loved back in since Sync for reddit stored working.
left reddit for good w/ a 50k sub I modded for over a decade. the best thing since: when modcodeofconduct tried to recruit replacements from the userbase, the users ignored them. the new mods are some randos, the subs are full of spam and garbage.
Great works Spez you fucking dolt.
Me!
Most of the people on here probably did, or traded/split time between the two.
I switched and in the end that's all that matters, you're welcome everyone
I've only gone back to Reddit when Google lead me there. Otherwise, I'm here.
I set on Lemmy.zip during the blackout protest on Reddit, and haven't gone back to it. Don't miss it. Lemmy has grown a lot in the past few months. It's only a fraction of the Reddit userbase size, but steadily filling out and getting better.
I didn't really drop Reddit, I just don't have the easy phone access I used to have so I visit it a lot less now and I don't like their app. I can use Lemmy right here on my phone and found an app that's very similar to BaconReader so I'm good for now.
Yep, and haven't missed it at all.

Tbh I felt Reddit was getting less interesting and more of a habit, Apollo was the last straw. Lemmy is small and a much less active, but more random. Prob good to reduce the mindless scrolling.
Me but reddit comes up in searches and I still have to go to it for things like local postings and gaming stuff
I did so that's at least one.
Got suspended with no explanation from a heavily used professional sub...asked for an explanation and was banned/ suspended (2 different accounts) Appealed ban, ask for explanation...nothing, just more ban/suspensions. ....deleted 2 accounts, ridiculous.
I guess you could look at how many users Lemmy added during the drama, most likely near 100% of those were Reddit refugee. I did switch when it became clear reddit overall was getting too shitty, too big & corporate.
I use both Reddit and Lemmy now. I used to use RiF on mobile but now Reddit for me is pc only. Liftoff for Lemmy has taken over that spot on my phone now. The main reason I haven't been able to completely switch is just the lack of some of my favourite sub Reddits switching over to Lemmy. The Lemmy communities exist but they're lacking numbers.
I did for Lemmy + Tildes + a bit of Hackernews.
me, although my hand was slightly forced with a permaban at the same time. I don't regret it at all, although I do miss some of the niche communities that aren't really taking off here (yet)
I didn't have a choice. I was the victim of a sitewide ban from an overzealous mod...
Not for Lemmy precisely, but I said f it and never gone back(excluding random click). Trying to help AK community I was involved past few years. Moderating a bit on kbin AK magazine, but mostly either spend time on Discord where mix of reddit and non reddit sitting. Mastodon for more serious information and interaction with Lemmy, while Misskey for Arknights fanart/art with hopes that some federates to Kbin magazine(lately # not picking up sadly). Waiting for better mod tools, federation fixes.
I did too

Another ex-Apollo user here. The only thing I miss is the Stable Diffusion subreddit. If everyone there would come here, Lemmy would be perfect
I did. Barring search results.
Not that meant of us obviously.
Enough that it has really helped Lemmy. Too few to materially impact Reddit.
I tried using reddit again twice since the exodus. it's just not the same.
I basically did. I stopped using mobile on July 31 since I was using boost and never looked back.
I wrote a case study on the API thing and spent a ton of time researching the different things going down on reddit and off throughout June and July so I used it on PC for that. Haven't really been back since.
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 was a lurker there and I actually participate here. I still go there for videos in specific communities, but I no longer scroll ALL.
