Reddit

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.

Yep, and haven't missed it at all.

Me but reddit comes up in searches and I still have to go to it for things like local postings and gaming stuff

Five.

I tried using reddit again twice since the exodus. it's just not the same.

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.

+1

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.

Deleted my two main accounts and I think 3 alts that I could still remember, and haven't been back since. I can't use social media without Sync.

Me

There are dozens of us! Literally dozens!

I left as soon as the news dropped, didn't wait for it to happen.

It's a bit harder to estimate because it's global and no matter where you are goong to ask, you will ask a specific bubble but with enough time, money and people you can do that. In my case I would ask to make a University project out of it.

Right here, yo.

I miss old reddit, and left for here and kbin when the API mess started. Haven't left and haven't really gone back much, either. I find myself a more satisfied with lemmy if that's a thing. Users, content, comments... it all seems like it is more my speed than reddit was.

I'm about 1% as active on Reddit as I used to be. I unsubbed from most of the subreddits I used to follow. I only stick around for a few communities that haven't moved to other platforms, but I make an effort to not comment or post nearly as often as before.

Crazy what happens when you kill the tool that 99% of my use of your platform was done through, huh, Spez?

I haven't posted or commented on Reddit since over a month, but I haven't deleted my account yet. I have consulted Reddit a few times since, notably when it showed up in the results for a question I was looking up, or to see the posts from the r/Askhistorians weekly roundup (of which I follow the RSS feed). While the way I've been using Reddit lately doesn't require an account, I'm unsure of whether I intend to delete mine; partly because if for whatever reason, I needed to post a question somewherebit will get a big audience, that's the biggest I can currently get, and partly because I don't want all my great posts and comments of the past to be lost to history...

Used a script to delete all my comments. Nuked two ten year old accounts.

Commenting for sake of a headcount lol

I'm no expert but best guess would be to get an estimate of all the new Lemmy users - there seem to be a few floating around - then run a poll in a few instances and estimate based on those results.

I'm one, but Lemmy doesn't have it. Idk if it is the hot or top algorithm, the development of mature communities, or moderation of the communities, but Lemmy doesn't engage me like Reddit does. I moved on from reddit, but Lemmy is much less engaging.

left when Boost turned off, sticking with Lemmy.

I did, and I like it over here better. Sometimes I look at a reddit post if it turns up in search, but otherwise I like the culture here better.

I did

I use both for different types of contents. Reddit has so many small niche communities that are currently still irreplaceable for me.

i did

Lost my main account when theybgot rid of third party apps, that account was banned from news subreddits for calling g chuds fascists and dumbasses so now every new account gets suspended for "ban evaison" so now it's basically just a lib take aggregator I can't interact with

I use it for one of the niche communities I usually went to. But other than that, I stopped voting other subs. So much rage bait and bigotry. It's only gotten worse since people started leaving. I just instantly go to the sub I want, check out some posts, which sometimes only take about a minute, and then leave.
