Asklemmy

Still in its infancy, most of the posts/information i want to search still come from reddit. But the content I'm seeing here so far has been good.

Lenny seems like a cool guy, but I'm worried about Stally.

On desktop, not yet. On phone, no.

If I must, on a phone, then I use old.reddit.com.

The information on niche subreddits always has me crawling back, unfortunately. I usually access it from old.reddit.com, so my usage shouldn't be contributing to their advertising revenue.

I'm certainly going to try. Will it work out? I hope so.

On my phone, yes. I intend to still use old.reddit on my PC in order to keep up with my favorite communities.

Easiest yes of my life. Not only do I not support how they're treating the devs of 3rd party apps but they made it easy by having the only way to browse it be their app which is basically unusable for me.

I’m trying. It’s seems to grow every day. Went from opening Apollo almost every 10 minutes to browsing Reddit mobile site three times a week tops.

I first came here shortly after spez's petulant AMA. I intended to just sort of check the place out, thinking that maybe I'd end up moving here if things there kept going downhill. But then I ended up just staying here, and in fact haven't been back to Reddit since.

So that's a yes, I guess.

Lenny?

Yes I'm here to join the lemmings

Yes, I found it hard at the start but communities are slowly starting to form. Nothing positive (like ditching spez) comes without some pain

I haven't been back in a couple of weeks now but haven't gone so far as to delete my account. As a software developer, I donated some of my time helping people with beginner programming questions and decided to leave those comments in place for anyone who might find them useful still.

But I think it's fair to say I've moved on from reddit. It's so stupid what they did, but I also like this idea of social media being maintained by the community it serves rather than some faceless corporation, so I don't see myself going back out of principle.

No. I have no reason to stick to one platform. Reddit wasn't the only one in the first place. You THINK everything was on reddit, but no, I got plenty of stuff elsewhere.

But I will remove reddit from the list completely once old.reddit is gone.

After leaving reddit I realize how negative it was. Only thing I miss is searching up the answer you're looking for that aren't paid ads, but I feel like lemmy can be a viable replacement in time.

Not replacing it, I ditched reddit long ago (maybe 3 years ago). I am loving it.

I was but the loss of Beehaw already is kinda disheartening. They had some really great communities built up

I personally wish there were more communities - it's kind of difficult for me to navigate at times when looking for communities especially if they exist in another instance, but otherwise, I have definitely replaced Reddit with this site. I just lurk on Reddit now, don't upvote or downvote, and just read some stuff that I can't find over here on my desktop, but here - I am actively engaging. It does feel more chill, and kind of reminds me of Old Internet somehow and I really like how so many people are coming together too to fix bugs and improve the QOL.

There's a few subs on Reddit that might have a hard time looking for a home here in Lemmy unless they make their own instance but they're pretty small communities. I don't think Reddit's advertising partners like them anyway lol

I still subscribe to a couple of niche subreddits because their lemmy equivalents haven't taken off yet. But aside from the occasional check-in, I don't really visit any more. Amazed at how much time I wasted each day on nothing.

Yes. I used Boost until the blackout (June 12th or something like that). That date I uninstalled it and didn't log in anymore. Then I waited until June 30th just to see if they've changed their plan. They didn't, so I replaced all my comments and then I deleted my account. From that date I created an account first on KBin but I didn't like that they didn't show which server the threads were actually on, so I migrated to Lemmy world with wefwef. So far, really happy with the experience.

I was looking to leave anyways. As soon as I saw the API changes I shut down my 10 year old, 3 comment account and moved here.

99% yes, effective July 1. The 1% is the Ukraine war daily thread on World News. I monitor it while logged out.

I am not replacing it.

I have already done it few weeks ago.

I deleted my Reddit account the other day. I'm all in.

Yep, after Rif died, immediately looked for alternatives to reddit.

For most things, but there's some subs I still frequent. No more doomscrolling, just very targeted single-sub browsing.

Yep, left it cold turkey when the protests started as 99.95% of my browsing was done through Apollo.

For browsing I have converted to Lemmy. For getting answers from a Google search I still click on the Reddit option. Lemmy doesn't show on a Google search and other forums are useless for information. Minus stack overflow.

So far this year I have gone Twitter -> Mastodon and now Reddit -> Lemmy. Not all the people/subs I used to interact with have moved, but I don't miss them - well maybe some of the games subs but I'm sure at some point they'll appear. In general more than happy with the move :)

yes. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't

Yes, I am now 90% on Lemmy - the new Memmy app for my iPad is close to Apollo-quality and Liftoff on my Android phone (S21) is “almost” as good as Sync for Reddit was.

For Reddit, I am using RSS feeds only to browse for any posts that interest me - I am trying to not give them traffic if at all possible.

The content on Lemmy is getting better every day!
