I deleted my reddit apps and decided to not use it anymore, so yeah, I am only on Lemmy now using it on desktop and on phone I use jerboa for lemmy
Same. Deleted accounts, uninstalled app, installed Jerboa, and replaced the bookmark with my instance.
i have not been back since the blackout started.
Same here, deleted my profiles, one of which was about 10 years old.
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.
Second this. Though if Lemmy gets really popular, same thing will happen.
Eternal September comes for all sites eventually. Arguably, we're the first waves of Lemmy's Eternal September for some folks here.
I am spending no time on Reddit and a little time on Lemmy, so yes.
100% on Lemmy, I used a script to remove all my comments and posts from my account. The account is still there, but totally empty. Is Kbin accessable via Lemmy and vice-versa? Reddit is dead to me,
Last week I switched from 100% reddit / 0% Lemmy to 0% reddit / 100% Lemmy overnight.
Fuck /u/spez
About 25% of time is spend here. I feel like Lemmy isn't "there" yet but I want it to be. I'm thinking of creating my own instance with a custom GUI with a light-weight, less cluttered interface with some custom defaults.
I quit using Reddit entirely when the blackout started. I didn't immediately jump all in to Lemmy, but I've found myself checking in more often and staying on the site for longer periods of time as it continues growing
10% on Reddit, 10%-15% on Lemmy, 10000% on Kbin - beats the pants off of other platforms IMHO, which is surprising considering it's early development. The combo of content from both Lemmy and Mastodon instances is pretty darn cool.
10% on Reddit, 10-15% on Lemmy, 10000% on Kbin
>100% error!
How are you manufacturing extra time‽ The greatest physicists of our day want to talk to you!
(Unless you mean to say that you spend 100x time on Kbin what you used to spend on Reddit…that makes more sense…carry on.)
I'm on kbin but I've barely been on reddit at all since I switched. I'm enjoying watching the fediverse grow and begin to mature into the begining of a real threat to major social media monsters like reddit, twitter, Facebook, and others.
I am... but they nuked all my main/alts except a few. I keep them to keep control of my mod rights, but its coming to a point of I don't want to bother.
After 10 years on reddit, it wasn’t easy at first (at first being just the threat of apps not working). And I wasn’t sure where to go: Mastodon, Discord, Lemmy, etc. But as the communities grew, content increased, and I even found similar groups in the fediverse, I’ve been spending more and more time on Lemmy, and much more certain this the right direction.
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'm currently enjoying Lemmy through Jerboa on Android!
EDIT: I'm now also using WefWef, which is virtually indistinguishable from Apollo. I've never used Apollo though so I'm getting still getting used to it, but I like it!
I can't seem to find a way to edit comments on it, though... So I here am back on Jerboa 😅
Yes. Rotating between Lemmy & Kbin.
Actually getting work done during the day also.
Reddit on Mobile is completely dead to me and I will only use it on my desktop for specific searches if the info is not available elsewhere (last resort).
0.1% of the time wil be spend on Reddit, with an ad blocker of course.
My Kbin account has been seeing quite a bit of usage today if that counts.
What's the advantage of kbin? I haven't tried it yet.
I honestly don't know, but if I had to hazard a guess, it would be being able to interact with the Beehaw crowd.
Are other lemmy instances not federated with beehaw?
As far as I'm aware, only lemmy.world and some other instance I forgot the name of got defederated by them.
That sucks and seems pretty short sighted :/
Does this mean posts from beehaw will not be in my lemmy feed, or is it simply I cannot interact with those posts in such a way that beehaw users would see?
Beehaw will still be in the feed unless Lemmy defederates from them too. The comments you leave on beehaw posts will not be viewable to beehaw users though.
I only get info from Reddit now and comment almost exclusively here. Old stuff is still good there, but it's time to move on
I used the be on Reddit every night for hours. Now Im on Lemmy for that time. There is no common sense there Reddit started to get boring and going waaay to far left. If you had any other opinion you got banned. Im more center than anything
Yup, stopped using it before the blackouts, deleted my account and now I'm here..or on kbin. But Lemmy feels a bit more to my taste.

Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
