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.
Exactly what I did. I added a handful of niche subs as RSS feeds to a reader just so I can keep up on stuff that I have no other way of seeing, but otherwise Reddit is died for me on 30th June
Same. I’ve completely adapted to Memmy and have left Reddit behind. So far the only thing I miss is the sports communities. But otherwise I feel no compulsion to browse Reddit.
I am currently switching back and forth between Memmy, Mlem and Wefwef (which is getting renamed to Voyager soon). All apps are in active development and have their pros and cons.
Same, the moment they started to announce Apollo was closing I started looking for alternatives and landed on lemmy.
Testing a few apps, memmy is my favorite thus far.

Not used Reddit for a while now ^^ Just a couple subs I miss but most things are here on Lemmy now
Request them on !requests@lemmit.online
Or even start them yourself. I’m running a couple.
Same. I didn’t create or mod any community on Reddit but I’m finding it a lot more satisfying to be involved.
I’m hoping a few missing subreddits I was on will come over. I really would do it myself but I’m dealing with a multitude of health and irl issues right now.
They do already have community but not many moved over ^^ Hopefully it picks up
It’s for “path of exile” and it’s a bit of a slow period for the game until a couple of weeks from now.
What is that doing? Just automated creation of subs? Most of the links the bot there posts dont even work.
It’s grabbing reddit content and posting it here. You can request any subreddit but not the comments.
Same here, there’s a couple that I go back to browse because the community is still there but I’m mostly here now.
there are calyx institute c/ es but they are tiny
btw i run a calyx vpn c/
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
Lenny! Memento is such a fkn good film
I still use reddit for researching problems at work, but that’s it.
On Lemmy you can edit your post titles.
Op purposely used Lenny, to get more engagements.
Uou know, the old adage of saying something wrong in the internet to get the right answers quicker
lmao
Already did. Purged all my Reddit bookmarks and account.
Generally: You have to be the change you want to see in the world. If you want to change others, change yourself first. I don’t think the mindset “I need to reach that big number of people over there so I’ll just be over there as well to teach them” works, or leads to the goal you want. Even though it seems reasonable at first glance. This mindset just leads to you giving the other people AND yourself more reason to never leave from there. Which is contrary to what you want. If you want others to switch to better alternatives, move yourself first, help grow the alternatives, and they will sooner or later also become interested in joining. Things like the latest Reddit and Twitter fiascos also show that no huge proprietary social media platform rules forever. The time to change to better alternatives has never been better than now.
No, I’m replacing it with Lemmy.
I love Lenny!
The only time I’d use Reddit now is if I had a specific question about a specific topic that’s only covered there.
As far as browsing for fun goes it’s Lemmy all the way, it’s so much nicer than Reddit.
I’m about 90% Lemmy, 9% Reddit, 1% Tribel right now.
As soon as Lemmy has enough people and communities to keep me always reading something new that interests me, I’ll be 100%. I’ve already abandoned subreddits that I modded. There’s little to keep me going back.
Yep, Lemmy is filling a Reddit-shaped hole. It’s a bit different but nice.
I replaced Reddit with the satisfaction of knowing I won’t be a pawn in Reddit’s plans to monetize the community’s free labor. 😉
Yes. I plan on using lemmy over reddit from now on. There are enough similar communities here. I’ll have to keep using reddit if i’m searching for something and it comes up, but i don’t plan on actively using reddit anymore. They showed their true colours: a company’s whole business model built around collecting and displaying user content and then has the nerve to pull that they did on 3rd party developers?
They didn’t want app competition because they needed to serve ads in their app.
I’m pretty much in the same boato but a lot of the communities just don’t have critical mass on lemmy yet :/
Give it time.
Trying to. This is a FANTASTIC tool to find new “subreddits” on Lemmy: https://sub.rehab/
nice site, thx mate
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.
This is exactly me, but no the garden, my steam deck is getting a workout 👍👍
I’m an reddit addict so it takes some time, but I’m working on it. It helps that reddit quality dropped and I’v been banned in one of four subs I was interested in.
