Are you committed to make Lemmy thrive? Do you keep posting your discussions on Reddit?
I’m not using reddit ever since they broke all the 3rd party clients.
I mean you can still use them, it’s just more finicky
Haven’t been to Reddit since the API changes last summer. I’m trying my best to be a good Lemmite but I don’t post enough OC, so that’s my bad
I feel guilty, that is why I asked. Yesterday, I even posted a question on Reddit instead of here. I feel that I should believe more on the Lemmites
I thought we were lemmings 😥
Find stuff and post it here. Our memes comrade.
I moved completely here after the reddit API thing.
Me too!
Left reddit as soon as the blackout happened, was actually impressed at myself being able to stay off it. Haven’t been back except when I google a question, and the answer is on an old reddit thread (I do not reply or comment).
My opinion is Lemmy needs more communities and more DAUs. Have been trying to tell people why they should switch but I’m not techy, my friends are not techy and they just don’t care about data/ownership etc. I’m hoping reddit shits the bed further so more laypeople jump ship.
Same goes for mastodon which needs more content although I only previously used twitter on days with big events (oscars, grammys, f1 race days etc).
i hate that we are here stuck trying to convince laypeople when we used to be the ones to shape the internet. now its just coporations making us ruin it 9-5 every day, for laymen to just use the shittiest option because its the one with the biggest marketing budget.
I’m sometimes checking reddit now, because Lemmy is mostly memes. Where are the discussions? Why aren’t they taking place?
But obviously not using their shitty app. Just browser with adblocking.
There are discussions, but (almost) only about linux and the sorts.
I just posted a discussion thread yesterday about Dragonball z.
I’m Lemmy 99%. Can’t do 100% because sometimes there isn’t an equivalent community on Lemmy so I have no choice but to use Reddit.
You could make one and then post it to both communities.
If it’s a topic I’m super passionate about & there’s no community on Lemmy then sure. But I’m not going to start a new Lemmy community every time I want to post a random dog photo or whatever.
I deleted my Reddit account during the blackouts and haven’t gone back.
This place feels like a breath of fresh air. It genuinely helped me cut down on social media usage.
I recently got booted off of Reddit and I’m hoping participating here on Lemmy will help me get over the need for social media I hadn’t realized I had developed.
Good luck. It has certainly helped me.
Thank you.
It’s mostly a matter of getting over it in my own head.
Deleted my old account(s) a few weeks back, when i use reddit now its usually from the browser just to see the answer to something, no more accounts for me.
Fediverse, Forums, or bust.
I miss the old topic specific internet forums so badly, but having tons of different accounts made the barrier to entry high so I understand why they died out.
Lemmy will thrive anytime Reddit experiences another exodus and the servers don’t crash.
Hard to use reddit when your favourite reddit app no longer works
I browse Reddit anonymously nowadays on a web browser. I still absolutely hate the experience. It lags way too much, videos suddenly become “no longer available”, spend enough time and it will yell at you again for getting the app as if it didn’t when you first opened the site (at least it’s not as insistive as Instagram, an even worse website), that new logo reeks of Discord and Android having a baby, and not to mention, comments with a negative karma score are automatically hidden for whatever reason.
I only continue browsing that site to catch up with some communities with no real equivalent on Lemmy.
Reddit sucks the butt. And you can quote me on that.

Yea sorry Boost doesn’t work for Lemmy anymore so…plus Lemmy is better and collectively smarter.
Only time I use reddit is if I Google something and it leads to a reddit thread. I hope more people will use Lemmy so when I Google stuff Lemmy comes up first. Fuck reddit I hope their servers get attacked
No and No.
I am happy to let this place grow organically with no pressure. I will not and have not been back to Reddit since coming here. Frankly, I am sick of hearing about Reddit; it’s like someone constantly going on about their ex.
Never post on Reddit never browser it and ask my questions on here. Sometimes I look at a Reddit post for an answer to an obscure question but if it’s something I ask I use Lemmy.
