I did
I've not been able to stop using Reddit because quite simply, some subs never migrated and they are major subs for me, such as /r/hockey. I've been using it less for sure and I've used Lemmy more, especially with Sync now available, but only time will tell.
Mostly. It helps that Voyager looks exactly like Apollo. I forget Iโm on lemmy sometimes.
left reddit for good w/ a 50k sub I modded for over a decade. the best thing since: when modcodeofconduct tried to recruit replacements from the userbase, the users ignored them. the new mods are some randos, the subs are full of spam and garbage.
Great works Spez you fucking dolt.
I did! They banned my account after a dispute with a Mod claiming I was being islamaphobic for asking about professor who was killed for supposedly showing a picture of Muhammad (which later turned out the daughter lied about) by a girl's father who was mad man who claimed Islam. The post was praising Islam for being a religion of peace and anyone who said differently didn't understand... so I asked about that case.... got banned from the sub.. argued with the mod, who then reported.e for harassment to the Reddit team and boom, permanently banned, no appeal option... My four year account and 97k karma gone.. then they banned my Alt account because of my phone IP address... I was so pissed.. tried VPNs too.. no good after a while..
Then I googled reddit alternatives, and a few scrolls down, I saw a forum from lemmy discusing how it had just launched as the reddit alternative and to try it.. I am glad I did. I like this better.. I wish there was more content though.. I love certain shows and love discussion about them. Like MTV the challenge or what we do in the shadows... Lemmy is so new, it doesn't have all those communitys just yet but I am happy to be here and watch the site grow.
When Sync stopped working on Reddit, I found kbin and Lemmy, and haven't looked back. Especially with Sync being on Lemmy. Reddit isn't worth the agitation anymore.
I nuked my 10yo account. I was so pissed about the API thing. Sadly, I do still find myself on random reddit threads if I'm looking for some specific info though...it's just not as easy to search for relevant info through Lemmy. But I do love the community for what it is though.
I haven't fully gave up on Reddit. There are communities that are still active over there but not here. However, I am still pretty optimistic that Lemmy will take off eventually. Reddit had been in the same situation as Lemmy right now when they were just in their beginning!
I still read Reddit sometimes, but I don't have an account anymore. It's like reading Facebook posts now. Really, really low quality content. It's sad, but I like the community here. Lemmy is more like what Reddit was 15ish years ago.
Me
Dyed in the wool sync user
I was a lurker there and I actually participate here. I still go there for videos in specific communities, but I no longer scroll ALL.
I did, I really just follow the sync app ยฏโ \โ _โ (โ ใโ )โ _โ /โ ยฏ
If they didn't pull that API bs for sync, I wouldn't be here. No regurtz on the move tho
Haven't opened Reddit since the new API pricing dropped, Lemmy is doing fine for me so far!
I got a Lemmy account with the main exodus, but my 3rd party Reddit app continued to work (though it slowly broke bit by bit) until just a couple days ago when it completely stopped working at all.
Now I've fully swapped off of Reddit and onto Lemmy.
๐
I did. signed out of all Reddit accounts once on my PC and uninstalled Apollo when it was on life support once Spez started outwardly idolizing Elon Musk. Fuck that shit Iโm out
Now I only use Reddit wherever I need tech support and google has something for me that I need. I also installed Reddit to redirect extension to the wayback machine it I go there
Maybe make a poll?
I dropped it for the Fediverse. I decided to use kbin after trying Lemmy for a bit.
not enough
For general memes and doom scrolling I'm 100% on Lemmy. Content is somewhat sparse but that just helps me limit scrolling time. I purged my post history so my profile is blank.
I still sometimes use Reddit from Google searches to look up specific things or specific communities. When I make the mistake of clicking the home feed the default experience is so bad that I pretty much immediately close it.
Full adoption is still lacking due to the breadth of niche communities and information that is tied up on Reddit. Is there any reddit archival efforts to preserve the information?
I quit when Joey for Reddit finally got taken down.
Honestly, the people here seem kinder and more intelligent, even if I don't agree with what they're saying.
1 here, occasionally I view an old post while troubleshooting something and a Reddit page has the answer. Always with an ad blocker and old Reddit though of course so Spez gets nothing from me
I have dropped it, approximately by 98%
I mainly browse Lemmy here with Sync for Lemmy, and when I want some more niche stuff I head up to Reddit with patched Sync for Reddit, so yeah, Sync is always with me.
Stopped using Reddit when Infinity died
I am switching between Sync for Lemmy and ReVanced clients for Reddit, generally since Lemmy doesn't have enough content that is interesting for me (ff14 community is basically dead on Lemmy, random maghjong riichi content is not there on Lemmy, world/news is basically the same as my meduza feed instead of random "what's around the globe", specific/non-general memes are not there, discussions are not active).
I hope it improves with time. I much prefer the notion of ActivityPub than that of centralized SM, but I guess the only real way forward is to force content gatekeepers to implement open apis...
I've been almost exclusively on Lemmy, but even after several months still miss user content on some of the more niche communities like my local sports team subreddit. I'll still hold out for a bit longer, if only to see what else is out there, but the itch is real.
At least one, because I did. Totally uninstalled the app and only use the website for obscure google queries where Reddit is the only meaningful result

Another +1
I was on RIF for years, deleted everything and haven't gone back. It's kinda liberating, I don't spend nearly as much time here as I did Reddit, and it scratches the itch.
I'm still mostly on Reddit, but I've definitely cut down my participation. For example I stopped up/downvoting posts entirely. And haven't really been participating in askreddit / eli5
The post I've made are either mirrored, or limited to relatively obscure communities.
As for lemmy, still lurking, not quite ready to dive in.
I've almost entirely dropped reddit for Lemmy. I still go back to reddit for tech support and some niche communities that haven't made the jump yet. But I'd guess that my reddit usage is down 90% YOY.
I've mostly been using Lemmy since the exodus, but checked back once in a while because Relay was still working. It seems Relay finally stopped working properly, so I'm done with Reddit now. 100 percent Lemmy/Tildes for me.
Edit: to add Tildes. I like it over there too.
I'm only now switched over because infinity for reddit free finally died
