I'm gonna stay here unless I hear there are changes. I only use Joey for Reddit, and if they take it away I'll only go via web searches, where some niche info is buried in a 10 yr old reddit post.
Will I switch back? Short answer is: no.
Long answer is: noooooooooooooooooo.
Iβm staying here. I canβt use a site that treats its community like that
I have an obligation for one week on a sub early July but then Iβm fully out. Iβve already deleted posts.
I plan to stay on Lemmy/Kbin and abandon reddit for the most part
Same here ..... but I felt like a crack addict living a habit .... I kept logging on with my app or my computer checking on Reddit to see what people were saying or doing.
Finally realized that I wasn't helping the cause .... so I deleted my app on my android (sync) and deleted all the Reddit history and data on my PC.
I had about a six hour hang over wondering what to do .... then I realized I had signed on with Lemmy and Mastodon and learned how to use those instead.
It felt like how I felt when I first joined Reddit
It's like a while new world and I love it
Never going back to the other guy
Staying here for sure
I've removed my Reddit account, including all comments, this morning. So I'm here to say!
Lemmy all the way, all Reddit accounts I had since the Digg days have been deleted but not before I replaced all posts and comments with gibberish. Scorched Earth
Being mostly a lurker it's going to depend mostly by the content.
But that's what I'm starting to like about Lemmy. Being in my 40s i've had my share of newsgroups, bulletin boards, forums,... And at the end Reddit.
A big plus is/was that nearly anything you can think of is on Reddit. But that's also the downside of it. You just don't know where to start sometimes.
That's great about Lemmy. You have instances where you can start and that can have a focus on specific topics. A tech instance, a science instance, a country instance,... You can just open the community lust there and see straight away what they have to offer.
It's like it's a mix of the old newsgroups with forums with Reddit.... I love it.
I still have my reddit account, because I need to backup some stuff, might check it tomorrow, then delete it and focus on Lemmy
I'm likely going to stick with Lemmy regardless of how Reddit steers course. I love that it's "by the people," and I don't mind the smaller community.
Plus, I'm old enough now that I'm getting used to moving on to "the next" online community.
Stay here, might be that I land on Reddit when googling stuff but I'll look for news, memes etc. here.
I'll mostly stick with Lemmy, since I don't plan to download the official Reddit app once that becomes the only option.
If things keep improving and growing the way they are I'll be staying. Will probably be inevitable that I'll end up on Reddit due to a Google search but I hope that as friction decreases higher quality contributors will continue to find a home here.
I'll be using both - Reddit because of habit, and mostly to just lurk. I won't upvote/downvote or contribute anything - it can't be debated that it's still a treasure trove of knowledge. But I'll be actively contributing here on Lemmy for sure because I want this to be the next home :)
I think that I'll do the same. In three days on lemmy I've done a lot of comments. While on reddit I was lurking the majority of the time.
just come back to reddit and tell people to move here guys. Other than that, just add reddit to google search to get better result, that's it. I wish lemmy will have better SEO in the future.
Both kinda, if RIF is gone I'll only use it through old.reddit for research purposes and make Lemmy my main app.
Use both, cannot entirely abandon reddit just yet
Personally, while I've decided to stay off Reddit for the foreseeable future, I am gonna hop back on here and there to more or less finalize my stuff there. My "cakeday" is in a week or so, so I figure that's a good final day to say goodbye.
My soft timeline is to stay off for the year and see where things stand then.
i plan on going on reddit to see if any communities are migrating, but I'm liking Lemmy a lot. only exception would be for r/askmechanics
I'll mainly stay here and contribute content to Lemmy. But I'll probably go back for a few specialty subs. e.g. r/HFY
I'll stay here
I'm going to keep using Lemmy because I want it to succeed but reddit is pretty indispensable (for now) for finding answers to technical problems so I'll probably never fully leave.
That official app is never touching my phone though.
Now that I'm more comfortable with Lemmy, I'm enjoying it more. I'll probably browse reddit from time to time, but I'd like to make this my new home.
I'd also like to see what this place can be when everyone is talking about something besides reddit.
My only complaint thus far is the communities on separate instances I've subscribed to still say "subscription pending," so I can't see them on the mlem app.
Edit: Actually, it appears I can see them. The "subscribe pending" just seems to be some kind of error.
I'm having fun here but will be glad to maybe have useful results for my obscure tech support googling again
Staying here for sure
Just joined a few minutes ago, i used Mastadon before but didn't it like it, feels stiff (i never was a Twitter user) but this is easier to use since i have been using Reddit for a while, but i don't quite understand where i search for communities, what app do you all use?
i'v been here less than 24 hours and am already making preparations to abandon my reddit account
I have some helpful information posts saved for future use, which I'll try to archive if the subs they were on are up, but given some are now talking about extending the blackout and other users are deleting their posts, if the stuff isn't there I'm just going to stop using Reddit altogether. No sense prolonging the inevitable.
Preferably staying here. We need to keep growing Lemmy.
Between the website and mlem, I believe Lemmy has a decent user experience so far. Iβm only monitoring Reddit to see how bad they are doing
I think I'm going to stick to Lemmy and use Reddit only to promote Lemmy. I've been created a few new communities here and will plug them to Reddit users.
