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 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.

      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 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

    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.

      Mlem and Memmy are having big updates everyday. Stick Apollo in a folder somewhere and replace the icon in its old position with one of those.

      Mlem scrolls like Apollo used to but it doesn’t have dark mode. Memmy has dark mode and swipe gestures but the feed is huge comparatively. Both receiving almost daily updates.

      (You need TestFlight from the Apple App Store since both apps are in beta)

    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.

    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’m constantly making a conscious effort to avoid going back to reddit. It’s not been easy, as it was my most used app maybe after youtube, but I’ve succeed so far. Last december I deleted my twitter account I created back in 2009. It hurt a bit, but I survived and found a nice place on a Mastodon instance. My reddit account is 11 years old, and I’ll be deleting it too, soon. It’ll hurt too, I know, but I’ll survive too. Lemmy is my new home.
