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.
I am really enjoying the concept of Lemmy but am still learning about it. I’ll probably stick around to see how it grows and evolves. I kind of like not being on Reddit.
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
Yeah im hoping some of the smaller hobbyist communities start moving over.
Will remain here, CEO has shown how much of a scum he is.
I stay here, Reddit have much user and content for now but I think Lemmy grows fast. Anyway, sometimes, “less it’s more”, so…
I’m sticking to lemmy at this point because of the principal.
I may only be one person out of millions, but I’m not giving reddit a lick of traffic unless Spez publicly acknowledges and apologizes to the dev for the false accusations, and to it’s communities.
I figure, if my time on reddit is a just drop in the bucket, people should have no room to be angry with me if I leave reddit permanently. If the user base is so unimportant, reddit shouldn’t miss us when we go. If the CEO is going to imply that people will get attacked by us for wearing reddit merch, then I want NOTHING to do with that platform.
People are hilarious if they think that reddit will suddenly stop it’s shenanigans at removing 3rd party apps. When they go public, you can probably kiss most of your favourite content goodbye.
It’s ironic too, because certain specific communities who are angry at the blackout will probably truly lose free speech when reddit goes public. Everything will likely have to be very suitable to advertisers and whoever has a stake in ownership.
I agree. Reddit has been pushing me away since they did away with the one-time purchase premium account I had, then started implementing loads of ads into everything. Good riddance.
Lemmy is my new home now and it’ll stay that way.
I’m not going to be drastic on reddit yet, I intend to make a GDPR request to get all my data, but I’'ll immediately unsub from all the subs I’m currently in save for a few very niche that are hard to replace (for now).
I’ll probably check in every now and then those niche but I’ll definitely stop posting.
Same here. I’ve already replaced my mobile app with one for lemmy and used these two days to take on the habit coming here instead of reddit. I’ve submitted a request as well. Will delete my account shortly after. I was using reddit to lurk mostly or get angry at trolls/toxic people anyway, it’s just better for me if I just forget about it.
What app are you using for Lemmy?
@Barack_Ollama @crius All of them. Jeroba, Lemmy website on mobile, lemmy Desktop and mastodon. Why cause i can. Thanks for opening my eyes Third-party apps
Ahh, you’re on android I’m guessing? I’m iOS :( looks like Mlem is the only option rn, and it’s young & buggy :( but still using it! :) and I’m def sticking with Lemmy!
@Barack_Ollama If you don’t mind the interface you should go to lemmy.world on your browser/Safari . It takes about 1 day to get used to then you will be an expert. the only thing about the website since it’s still new is that when you reply comment or create a post it looks like its loading. give it about 30 seconds and it will post. it looks like its loading but it’s actually posted already. other then that everything is good
I’m using the browser interface mostly. There are still some issues, though. Like, I got the notification of your comment & the only way I can find to view it in the context of the other comments is to tap on the post name (going to the main post), then scrolling down to find my own comment & your reply. Manageable now, but certainly not manageable if/when Lemmy gets more popular :(.
It would be great to be able to select the notification to take me to the post page, highlighting the comment from the notification, and only loading the thread that comment is in (basically what happened when I tapped on the notification in the Apollo App).
@Barack_Ollama Did you tap the notifications icon on the top right that should say 1 or 2 tap it and you should see the replies and other things
I intend to make a GDPR request to get all my data
I did this last week using their official portal and they haven’t gotten back to me yet… I wonder how many others have done the same lol
Edit: fix formatting
Thanks for the share! Just submitted my own request :)
Submitted my GDPR request a few minutes ago, I too would love to know how many are doing the same, would be nice to flood them with it :D
Upvotes and upvote button doesn’t seem to work correctly, yea exactly!
I’ll still use Lemmy. The people here are way nicer.
This all the way - and way more understanding compared to Reddit

Idk. The lemmy.ml instance seems practically overrun with CCP/Russian apologists. From literally defending the Tienanmen Sq. massacre to just the tankiest tankies that ever tankied - I’ve definitely seen my fair share of shitheads in the past week here.
If you’re not happy with your instance, use a different instance.

Yeah I saw a similar sentiment on another thread that summarizes to: Lemmy being a little hard to figure out might be a feature, not a bug.
I’m absolutely no elitist, but I think a lot of us can attest to the overall quality of reddit content decreasing over time. I browse r/all and so tired of seeing the constant reposts, many by bots etc etc.
Remains to be seen how everything will shake out. But Lemmy does seem chill so far, and less vitriol in general
I’m stubborn enough not to.
Maybe I’ll go to swipe some content to repost and hopefully continue to build the communities up here.
But just like with my migration from Twitter to Mastodon, there ain’t no way I’m going back now.
@zinklog I’m staying on Fedi
And use Reddit to read communities which aren’t here but never really post anything there.
Use both, cannot entirely abandon reddit just yet
By and large I don’t feel the need to go back to reddit, as I can get the news and other things either here or in different places. There are a few very specific subs that I’ll probably visit from time to time on desktop, but I’ll never use that garbage reddit app.
Already deleted my account, but still having Infinity installed. Hopefully someone can make it work with the Lemmy API (as the dev gave consent for someone to fork his project to make it work with Lemmy)
Do people even need his consent for that? It’s open source anyway, right?
It’s not needed as open source licenses allow everyone to fork, but it’s always nice to ask first.
It’s probably nice to have it though
Gonna work on reducing my reddit use while I findenough places here to fill all those little brain-itch niches.
Hopefully phase out reddit eventually. But not immediately.
I’m going to continue coming here. My exit from Reddit is a slow slide… I only use old.reddit plus Apollo and RIF clients. When 3rd party clients are gone I will not use the official app, and I do not intend to continue accessing my feed daily. I don’t believe that I’ll delete my account - if that data in context can help someone else in the future, that’s still a good thing.
