This seems like a good place so far tbh

    I completely left Reddit. A week before Apollo shut down I slowly started to leave subreddits and cleaned my post and comments. The moment Apollo stopped working, Reddit was dead to me either. Lemmy is now my new home.

      Same, but after RiF. Reddit became a posterchild for the corporate greed so fuck them.

        I am sad about RIF. It blocked all the ads, didn’t show all the shitty awards, was super clean, the video player worked well and the mod tools were awesome.

        On a side note, its sad demise led me to Lemmy, so all is well.

          Reddit is Fun was among the first apps I installed on my first smart phone, way back in 2011. I thought, “oh reddit will come out with their own app eventually, I’ll just use this until that happens.” Turned out that 99% of my time spent on reddit over the last 12 years would be through RiF. I’m sad too, man. Lemmy seems pretty cool though

      I think a lot of us are still getting accustomed to Lemmy and finding our flow. For me, personally, the move exposed a bunch of new communities and topics I didn’t know / or forgot I was interested in and am now excited to be a part of!

        Likewise, I’m finding my feed is once again filling with things I am actually interested in. Reddit had drifted slowly towards mindless content but here on Lemmy I feel back in control.

    I’m not on “Lenny” terms yet, I still refer to him as “Leonard”.

    As for Lemmy, it’s almost completely replaced Reddit for me. Except for the times I search for something and the best result is a Reddit thread from 3 years ago

    I still dip in to Reddit, but about 75% less than before. As more Lemmy content becomes available, I expect that to further diminish.

      Same. I still report to reddit when I need to check something technical. For example, was looking at doing some work on my HVAC and wondering if some new pipe fittings were any good. Googled the product name plus Reddit to get the professional discussions from the HVAC experts.

        Ya, I use Reddit for stuff I’m working on like learning a language that isn’t on Lemmy right now, but I only use Reddit ~25% of the time I used to now.

    Some moderator permabanned me over my simming screenshots, saying i broke reddit content rules. This PARTICULAR moderator has banned me from reddit multiple times. Today’s was the last straw. Reddit deserves a fiery death. So, Lemmy is the closest thing. I welcome the replacement.

    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

    I never really used Reddit. I would scroll through it if I was really bored and occasionally post but never that much. I stopped because of the API just because it was really easy to stop. It could only be good for me to remove that one other thing that tricks my mind into doom scrolling. So will I be using Lenny? It would probably be good for me to not and go do more productive things. But I feel like if I have free time, supporting this is definitely good, I really like the goal and don’t want it to die.

    Here’s the thing. Reddit had me hooked on it like no other until the API fuck up. Pretty much dropped it on it the spot.

    After the first week it dawned on me how much time I was spending there.

    So while I setup here, much less time is being spent online overall. But the interaction has jumped up immensely.

    My garden is looking better and I’m hitting the gym much more often.

    I’m trying to, but finding a good client and trying to find replacement communities isn’t as straight forward as Reddit was.

    I’ll be spending more time on here since I got a random 3 day ban without a reason. This has been happening every few months.
