I'm not going anywhere. I remember when Reddit was the hard-to-figure out niche site. I like the idea behind the fediverse so I'll learn how to use this.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm sure at some point I'll get on old.reddit again, for as long as it's still around. After all, I spent a dozen years or more on reddit; it's hard to just walk away from that cold turkey. But, I kinda like what's going on with Lemmy. I've really liked what I've seen with lemmy.world, there's a cool vibe here, and I'm already feeling at home. I think I'm gonna stick around. :-)

I think Iโ€™ll use both. Though my time on Reddit dwindles.

lemmy has been fantastic but I know 50% of lemmings are gonna go back to Reddit anyway

I'll be staying here, I quite reddit a while back and I prefer the fediverse to the corporate hellsites

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've been here for years already, but I'm still going to be checking Reddit. There are subs there that either don't exist here (r/TaylorSwift - yes, really) or have a close-knit community that I can't see moving to lemmy anytime soon (r/greyhounds), or exist but are really just something like placeholders but where I get tons of aggregated news where an RSS would be ridiculous to curate (r/soccer and r/liverpoolfc).

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Undecided on Lemmy, but good so far. I deleted my Reddit account and have no plans on returning unless they get rid of the CEO and even then not sure I would.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I use one of the dying 3rd party apps. Once it dies on the 30th I'm out. I may log in on occasion on old.reddit in the future on my PC but on mobile I'll be done. Or possibly when I'm searching for something on my browser and reddit results come up. But adblockers there mean no money for reddit and definitely no engagement as I'll just be looking for an answer and leaving.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'll probably still append Google search with reddit until I can do so with Lemmy, Squabbles, or Tildes.

I've also been checking reddit to wait for the next round of Tildes invites and using it for one very specific education related subreddit that I don't think would ever migrate somewhere else because it's too niche, but other than that I'll be avoiding the rest of Reddit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

both. this platform seems interesting but im not ready to quit reddit just yet, especially since theres really little content here

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm just going to have my lemmy shortcut and app next to my reddit ones and keep going to lemmy first. I feel as more people come online here eventually the reddit usage will taper off as it becomes redundant.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm here now. Reddit is just bots and repeat content. Most of it will find its way over here at some point. The stuff that stays? Eh, probably not worth it anyway.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

i wanna be here 100%, but if i have specific questions already answered on reddit (most of the time), i tend to go there, will be hard x.x

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm thinking I'll stop in, in like a week or so, but before sync shuts down and see about what I want to salvage.

Probably will also backup my reddit account and delete from the web version at some point in july once most of the 3rd party apps are shut down maybe sooner.

Might continue to use reddit as an accountless lurker on the web version occasionally, but I am taking this as a change to lower my overall social-media-on-my-phone-aimlessly time.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely stay. Haven't left reddit, but I want to see all the same communities here that I had there whether or not they return. Also betting on the software and algorithms here improving, having posts update more often, but not have the page auto-refresh which seems to be a bug.

Also just had a bug where it was the wrong post I found myself in while typing the comment. Although the other comments below were for the correct one, so I'm guessing that's an issue with what's being loaded within the page rather than the page itself being wrong.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Will probably use Reddit every now and again but Lemmy has been a MUCH more pleasent experience overall, I can't see Reddit becoming nearly as nice

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think Iโ€™ll use both. Though my time on Reddit dwindles.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm giving lemmy a good try. Interface seems nice, I like the federated nature of it, we can only hope that we get more users, so I'll stick it out and see if the users come (and they should)

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reddit on mobile for the moment, but on PC Lemmy. Right now, Lemmy on mobile is pretty much unusable.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Jerboa for Android is still early stages, but it does the job.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm on IOS.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm on IOS. The site is slow and I keep forgetting to update so I can't use the app on Testdrive.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Probably use both, tbh. Lemmy has a ways to go in terms of the smoothness of the whole experience BUT I'm sure it's going to get way better, and at some point I look forward to being able to drop Reddit almost entirely.
