Already deleted my account, but still having Infinity installed. Hopefully someone can make it work with the Lemmy API (as the dev gave consent for someone to fork his project to make it work with Lemmy)

I'll do both for a bit and see what happens.

I'm done posting on reddit, and I'm only interacting with specific subs (maybe via web with an ad blocker). But until the community here gets a little bigger I'll probably still go there to look at content.

That said, I'm trying to make an effort to post a few things daily somewhere in Lemmy. Be the change you want to see and all that jazz.

[โ€“] linearchaos@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I already erased all of my post history for all of my accounts on Reddit. I'm not saying that I won't go back to a specific group to read something if I need it or Google search something If the sub still exists in the data still there. But there would have to be something pretty substantial for me to ever actually log in and recontribute to any community there.

Whether I stay on Lemmy or not depends on the content here. I'm not one to spend hours a day doom scrolling, My work is 10 minutes on 5 minutes off kind of thing so it's nice to have something to read and ponder in my down time but honestly I was spending way too much of it on Reddit anyway.

[โ€“] average650@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'm going to try to just use lemmy. Reddit removing moderators over this is BS and too much.

But, until everything I used it for is replaced, I will still participate in some communities over there.

[โ€“] coldv@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I set up an RSS reader for my favourite subreddits so basically I have Reddit on read-only mode. I will save my engagement for Lemmy.

I won't go back unless they reverse the changes. And even the it would just be for the subreddits that don't have equivalents here at the moment

[โ€“] janonymous@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I think I'm going to stay. I'll try it for a few days or weeks. If I can get used to new interface, especially on mobile (jerboa currently) then I'm going to delete all my comments and posts on Reddit and delete my account. Going to use this as the final motivation to delete my Twitter and Facebook accounts as well. I'm not using them anymore anyway. I hope this is going to be the start of a bigger change around the internet away from these corporation owned sites.

I'm done using reddit on mobile without 3rd party apps. Might drop in occasionally on desktop looking for answers to whatever niche hobby thing I can't find here. My usage will certainly be much less than before though.

[โ€“] Mastersord@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

For the foreseeable future, Iโ€™ll use both. Despite everything, reddit still has tons of niche groups that I like to read. Lemmy and Kbin are still young and I want to see them grow, mature, and surpass Reddit, but that is not going to happen overnight.

[โ€“] williamallenbro@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I may still click Reddit links in Google searches if I can't find answers elsewhere.

My plan is to try to use this exclusively and advertise it to my friends who are looking to get away from Reddit as well.

Both. Eventually want to change to just Lemmy/kbin tho

[โ€“] Kovari@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

There's literally not anything left on reddit that I wish to see anymore. It's all controlled and bloated and designed to keep you addicted and angry. I've been increasingly bored and annoyed with the platform for a while, so this made the transition to lemmy even easier. Honestly, a lot of people are better off without it.

[โ€“] evilsmurf@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I'm happy to move to a tighter community with more engagement and honestly I like that the fediverse has a higher bar to entry. Reddit discussions used to provide answers, but the quality of dialog there has regressed to the mean.

[โ€“] SirMrR4M@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I will stick to Lemmy as my main but I'll use Reddit for some specific and niche stuff, unless a similar community props up . I was always sort of a lurker there but now I'll be even more of a lurker lol. I'll cut down reddit usage to basically 0 though.

[โ€“] Mishaye@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

There's still a few subreddits that I'll continue to follow, but it'll be in lurker-only mode and no interaction and no adblock whitelist. My 13-year old main account will be nuked.

If Reddit had acted less crap and unprofessional with these API changes and actually treated 3rd party devs with a minimum of respect, even if 3rd party clients ultimately died anyway, I might have continued and just stuck with old.reddit.com or something. But they didn't.

I've already replaced Rif with Jerboa on my home screen and don't plan on changing it back. But I'm thinking I'll probably have to start using the official Reddit app for the more niche communities/subreddits. Still haven't downloaded it though!

[โ€“] woobie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I'm going to continue coming here. My exit from Reddit is a slow slide... I only use old.reddit plus Apollo and RIF clients. When 3rd party clients are gone I will not use the official app, and I do not intend to continue accessing my feed daily. I don't believe that I'll delete my account - if that data in context can help someone else in the future, that's still a good thing.

[โ€“] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been banned from Reddit so many times for so many petty infractions... nah. Lemmy is working out just fine. Reddit can rot.

I'll stay here for now as I'm learning how lemmy work

[โ€“] theusualuser@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

By and large I don't feel the need to go back to reddit, as I can get the news and other things either here or in different places. There are a few very specific subs that I'll probably visit from time to time on desktop, but I'll never use that garbage reddit app.

Probably both for now, but I've been using Lemmy more and more.

[โ€“] Maiznieks@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I try to use lemmy primarely, trying to satiate my need for news and entertainment when I'm on a break. If it's not enough and my front page is stale, i unwillingly creep into reddit.

I guess it's all about content.

[โ€“] apepi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Gonna work on reducing my reddit use while I find enough places here to fill all those little brain-itch niches.

Hopefully phase out reddit eventually. But not immediately.

[โ€“] dillydalclub@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I almost exclusively used RIF to interact with Reddit so I won't be going back.

I'll stay here, learn how to navigate and interact with platform and try to be a bigger creator than I was over there.

[โ€“] gabuwu@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I'm staying here to be honest.

[โ€“] whitehatbofh@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I'm abandoning reddit in phases. I'm keeping RIF on my phone until June 30, but will not visit Reddit like I once did. I'm participating in the Fediverse instead, posting and commenting a lot more than I ever did in the old site.

Between here and June 30, I may peek at the front page as the situation develops, especially if any news posted here indicates dramatic developments.

One or two days before June 30, I'll edit all of my comments and posts to say I'm leaving reddit for good, while also providing links to the Fediverse and advice for other redditors to abandon the show and join us here.

[โ€“] AnonTwo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'll probably give it at least a week, see how things are, and decide from there.

Even then if I do go back probably cut activity to the things that just aren't available elsewhere at the moment.

[โ€“] N7_Spectre@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Iโ€™m staying on Lemmy for certain. Hoping I can find my fellow Mass Effect fans somewhere here.

Deleted all my comments and reddit accounts. Out of curiosity I browsed the front page. Literally nothing worth scrolling for. Inflammatory, rage bait, misleading headlines, repost bots, same content spammed to different subreddits. These blackout was just what I needed to break my dependence on it. Don't see no point in going back.

[โ€“] Bleumunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I will be using both until rif shuts down, but only to support / upvote posts and comments about the death of Reddit.

My many year old Reddit account is gone, and I spun up a new Reddit account that is essentially a throwaway referencing the death of Reddit.

I want to make sure this isn't just a two-day and done issue. I feel this is the death of Reddit, the same as it was the death of Digg.

[โ€“] MxRemy@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have over 10k karma there, tons of posts going back like 10ish years, and a teeny tiny niche hobby subreddit of my own. I deleted the app when we all went dark, and I've been considering deleting my account and content. Definitely not planning on going back.

[โ€“] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've also had my account for over 10 years and just today deleted every comment/ post equating to about 70k karma.

It feels really good knowing Reddit won't profit off my past content.

[โ€“] EnemyBirds@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm staying unless they drop all that nonsense.
