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’ve quit reddit 100%. I was a little bit addicted, so I used the blackout as a way to quit cold turkey. Lemmy kind of scratches the itch, enough that I don’t go back to Reddit, but I don’t spend as much time here as I did there. I’m counting that as a good thing

    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.

    Yeah I stopped using Reddit when the boycott started and don’t plan on going back(went back to add nonsense to my old comments). Hoping to see a larger migration as well.

    I’ve not touched Reddit since the blackout started, and I won’t be going back.

    I’ve basically made the switch 100%, and I’m finding myself a lot more active on here so far. Everything I’ve posted in any given community has resulted in a lot more friendly discussion here than it tended to on Reddit… honestly, so far this feels a lot better lol.

    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.

    I moved here with the intention to stay. I just use reddit to promote Lemmy now.

    I made an account on both kbin.social and Lemmy and use jerboa to browse Lemmy on mobile.

    I haven’t been on reddit in a week, and have deleted my account so on the occasions that I do end up there I won’t be adding to their content or participating.

    I deleted everything Reddit related and haven’t been there since. I even avoid Reddit related search results.

    I went cold turkey on Reddit when my app died yesterday. I haven’t used reddit on desktop since like 2013 so no problem there.
