I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
I deleted my reddit apps and decided to not use it anymore, so yeah, I am only on Lemmy now using it on desktop and on phone I use jerboa for lemmy
Same. Deleted accounts, uninstalled app, installed Jerboa, and replaced the bookmark with my instance.
i have not been back since the blackout started.
Same here, deleted my profiles, one of which was about 10 years old.
I gave up Reddit 100% the day the blackout started, so by default… yes. Way more time on Lemmy. As someone that isn’t on these sites that much of the time, I like Lemmy way better since I can actually contribute and have conversations. On Reddit I’m only ever replying to a post once there are a thousand replies already and it’s always buried. Here it’s much easier to chat.
I was thinking about setting up an instance to help me learn some more development stuff and practice my Terraform use, or maybe build an iOS app to learn Swift in my spare time… but I don’t really have spare time, so those things have a 99.9% chance of not happening haha.
Second this. Though if Lemmy gets really popular, same thing will happen.
Eternal September comes for all sites eventually. Arguably, we’re the first waves of Lemmy’s Eternal September for some folks here.
100% on Lemmy, I used a script to remove all my comments and posts from my account. The account is still there, but totally empty. Is Kbin accessable via Lemmy and vice-versa? Reddit is dead to me,
Last week I switched from 100% reddit / 0% Lemmy to 0% reddit / 100% Lemmy overnight.
Fuck /u/spez
I am spending no time on Reddit and a little time on Lemmy, so yes.
About 25% of time is spend here. I feel like Lemmy isn’t “there” yet but I want it to be. I’m thinking of creating my own instance with a custom GUI with a light-weight, less cluttered interface with some custom defaults.
10% on Reddit, 10%-15% on Lemmy, 10000% on Kbin - beats the pants off of other platforms IMHO, which is surprising considering it’s early development. The combo of content from both Lemmy and Mastodon instances is pretty darn cool.
10% on Reddit, 10-15% on Lemmy, 10000% on Kbin
>100% error!
How are you manufacturing extra time‽ The greatest physicists of our day want to talk to you!
(Unless you mean to say that you spend 100x time on Kbin what you used to spend on Reddit…that makes more sense…carry on.)
I am mainly a mobile user. Unfortunately the Lemmy apps are still pretty limited. Despite that I refuse to use Reddit from now on even though I find myself often opening Apollo (muscle memory I guess), I always close it immediately. Really hoping the lemmy apps improve as I see a lot of potential.
I’m currently enjoying Lemmy through Jerboa on Android!
EDIT: I’m now also using WefWef, which is virtually indistinguishable from Apollo. I’ve never used Apollo though so I’m getting still getting used to it, but I like it!
I can’t seem to find a way to edit comments on it, though… So I here am back on Jerboa 😅
I quit using Reddit entirely when the blackout started. I didn’t immediately jump all in to Lemmy, but I’ve found myself checking in more often and staying on the site for longer periods of time as it continues growing
Technically yes, but I spend 0 time on Reddit soooo.
I’m on kbin but I’ve barely been on reddit at all since I switched. I’m enjoying watching the fediverse grow and begin to mature into the begining of a real threat to major social media monsters like reddit, twitter, Facebook, and others.
I vehemently refuse to support Reddit in any way. I deleted all my accounts and apps. When google answers my question with a Reddit link I access it through the way back machine.
Reddit has proven time and again that it is anti community and that it will stop at nothing to satisfy their greed. Anyone who understands the dynamics at play and still drives traffic to them is proving that the masses can be manipulated to go along with anything
Used Power Delete Suite to edit all my comments and point to lemmy.world on my main account. Only check Reddit once every few days to upvote spez debauchery.
