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.
This is the way
Some things should stay on reddit…
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.
Last week I switched from 100% reddit / 0% Lemmy to 0% reddit / 100% Lemmy overnight.
Fuck /u/spez
I’m sitting at like 95% Lemmy/3% Reddit is fun/2% oops I opened a tab of Reddit by default
I need to clear the history
Ditto. Don’t want to be a part of it anymore. It might not make much difference to them, but it makes a bunch to me, and that’s all that matters.
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,
I stopped using Reddit entirely. It’s got too popular for its own good. The API thing was the last straw. Feels like whenever the money men take over something it goes to shit. These walled gardens are cancerous in a way that the average user doesn’t understand until it’s too late. The EU is the only big institution that is pushing back against this tendency and my countrymen decided they wanted to leave because they are too stupid to understand this kind of nuance.
Down with proprietary, closed, throwaway culture. Long live open, transparent, modular, reusable technology.
I only use Reddit when I’m forced to now. I don’t do it on mobile at all.
I am spending no time on Reddit and a little time on Lemmy, so yes.
Well I am now. Now that Slide quit working. I was looking at both. I still can see Reddit in my browser at home but this was a nice kick in the pants to make me really focus here at lemmy.
I’m spending much more time here now that I am spending at reddit. I’m hoping for another big influx of users (and therefore content) on July 1.
99% time on Lemmy, 1% on Reddit telling people to migrate to Lemmy.
Yeah, uninstalled reddit and everything. Finding the nicest lemmy app was the most annoying bit, but settled on wefwef for now.
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 have bookmarks to Reddit I use on desktop, old version so I can get updated on niche stuff. I use Reddit about 1% and always with Adblock and logged out.
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
