I'm not going anywhere. I remember when Reddit was the hard-to-figure out niche site. I like the idea behind the fediverse so I'll learn how to use this.

[–] EmpathProgrammer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Use both.

Lemmy is still way too buggy/bad design, more specifically: -New posts loaded dynamically even when I'm not sorted by new. Just give me a static page, servers are overloaded as it is, why do so many requests for a shit UX? If I'm sorting by hot I don't want to see new posts.
-Not desktop friendly (too much whitespace)
-If I click on a post then it often shows some other post but with the comments of the post I clicked on
-very slow posting

I stay here, Reddit have much user and content for now but I think Lemmy grows fast. Anyway, sometimes, β€œless it’s more”, so..

[–] Methylman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Fuck u/spez , would much rather have mods that put in effort because they want the community to succeed and not because there's an opportunity to profit

[–] cannoli69@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I deleted Reddit to help myself stay off for the blackout. I think as long as I have fun and establish a community here, I’ll stay. I don’t plan on doing both, but πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I'm fragmenting time between reddit, kbin, lemmy, and squabbles.

I only have a couple more weeks that I'll get to use reddit. The official app is trash, and I'm a 100% mobile user - so when my app dies I'm done there...

I'm waiting for one of these platforms to make a good app and I'll settle there, but until then I'll fragment my time.

I blocked all reddit domain names, delete reddit and will never come back... Right now I feel the carving like any other drug abuse. Thankfully I wasn't that much of a reddict and were scrolling through healthy subreddits. Keep save, don't fall for the poisonous digital social drug !

already deleted my account, there is no going back.

If I'm being honest I'll be using both at least until Sync officially shuts down. After that reddit will be 100% old.reddit on the laptop, and when the quality takes a dive from mods quitting/mod tools getting nuked then lemmy all the way

The official app is terrible and not worth suffering for a dopamine hit. I know spending all that time scrolling on the phone isnt good for my mental health so I suppose this makes for a good opportunity to readjust.

I'm sticking with Lemmy but using Reddit for smaller niche hobby subs, like digimon, Gunpla.

I have an obligation for one week on a sub early July but then I’m fully out. I’ve already deleted posts.

I need to check back on reddit to see if my GDPR request has completed. It hasn't yet and they don't retain it for long. I might keep going on the few subs I go on, I suppose. I suffered though mobile web reddit all these years anyway. But if the mods strike again, I of course won't cross the picket line.

both. this platform seems interesting but im not ready to quit reddit just yet, especially since theres really little content here

[–] avail@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'll be staying on Lemmy as much as possible

[–] vreemt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I never signed up to reddit, but I did join Lemmy because it feels like it fits.

Probably going to find myself on Reddit every now and then, but I'd like to keep up with Lemmy too (hopefully primarily)

[–] AlataOrange@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 year ago

I haven't deleted anything, but honestly I haven't felt any desire to go back either.

[–] Chapi_Chan@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Will I switch back? Short answer is: no.

Long answer is: noooooooooooooooooo.

[–] dontblink@feddit.it 3 points 1 year ago

I will probably use reddit as information archive but Lemmy as my primary forum and probably migrating my small subreddit

[–] psychothumbs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'll return to reddit for as long as my rif app works, and spend that time proselytizing for lemmy

[–] chair@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lemmy has been fantastic but I know 50% of lemmings are gonna go back to Reddit anyway

I'm here now. Reddit is just bots and repeat content. Most of it will find its way over here at some point. The stuff that stays? Eh, probably not worth it anyway.

[–] Clipboards@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not married to Lemmy just yet, but I really can't see myself going back to Reddit. I think the only actual utility I get out of Reddit these days is keeping up on Gaming news - I used to get a ton of value out of a subreddit for my profession, but the head admin there seems to be a bit of a heel & most of the quality contributors already moved elsewhere before the blackout.

I think its been easy to ignore the fact that Reddit is just like every other silicon valley social media company. Enshittification was always on the roadmap - I just had hoped that Reddit would've been a bit more graceful about it. In retrospect, it's terrifying that we have this much human knowledge & history tied to one platform.

[–] mr_pip@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

I still have my reddit account, because I need to backup some stuff, might check it tomorrow, then delete it and focus on Lemmy

[–] savoy@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I've been here for years already, but I'm still going to be checking Reddit. There are subs there that either don't exist here (r/TaylorSwift - yes, really) or have a close-knit community that I can't see moving to lemmy anytime soon (r/greyhounds), or exist but are really just something like placeholders but where I get tons of aggregated news where an RSS would be ridiculous to curate (r/soccer and r/liverpoolfc).

[–] Sludgerunner@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'll stick around. I went to reddit today and it's a fucking saltmine over there. People here are much more chill.

[–] audi6x9@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

i wanna be here 100%, but if i have specific questions already answered on reddit (most of the time), i tend to go there, will be hard x.x
