Not by itself, no.

My current replacements for reddit are:

  1. A kbin account for serious-posting
  2. This Lemmy account for the shitposting (and for communities on lemmy.ml which blanket bans all kbin instances)
  3. Tildes.net for the extra-serious-posting
  4. (Eventually) an RSS reader
  5. Libreddit and a redirector extension for search results

I personally prefer to keep my shitposting from my serious-posting and I also wanted to see what kbin was like, so it kinda worked out well enough (aside from .ml)

There wre communies on .ml that blanket bans kbin?

RIF user for over a decade, Reddit is dead to me. Haven't looked back.

[–] skepticalifornia@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

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 β€œalmost” 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!

I am not I've found it - its nice to have a real "FRONT PAGE" again.

No bots reposting for Karma, no ads.

just people on a forum - like how reddit used to be.

Im so happy I found this place

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I'm about a week clean now, content has been really good

[–] Secret300@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Houman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yes, as should everyone.

[–] mjbennison@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

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 :)

[–] JarasM@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I made it cozy already at Squabbles.io, but I'm giving Lemmy a try. Since Joey still works I do browse Reddit now and then.

[–] MortyMcFry@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Already done.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I have replaced it as my active site,

So there is still stuff that's more active on reddit, like football news, but I am now just a lurker there I don't contribute I just read if there is an update then if it's relevant I post it from there to Lemmy, so we can start building a community here.

[–] stink_pickle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yes, but I also use Squiggy too

[–] PrimaCora@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

Yeah, just got a temp ban for apparently wrongfully reporting a post. Fuck that place

[–] jininjin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How do you find your favorite community? Can't anything yet. I'm using connect on Lemmy.world. every search ends up with nothing much.

Still sometimes visit Reddit for some of the communities that don't seem like migrating. Try to limit the time there to be very minimal, anyway.

But I don't think that wiping my data there would be a good thing, because posts/comments could be useful to others still. Maybe it would make sense to repost those here, and then remove πŸ€”

[–] Metasyntactic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. This is my new Reddit replacement

[–] Kempeth@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

To about 90% I have. Some communities still simply don't exist or are essentially dead, so for the times where I need something really specific or just a general content fix I still wander over. But it's been a fraction of the time I spent there previously.

[–] Shoukupan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Not entirely just yet. Reddit as a source of information is incredibly valuable and Lemmy has yet to become that for me.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Sucks for videos and gifs though. I don't want to click a blind link to see a gif or video

[–] goodgame@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Well, this is nice, hello

[–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Other than some specific subs, yes
