Most likely I will "specialize" reddit for sports stuff only.

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

I use one of the dying 3rd party apps. Once it dies on the 30th I'm out. I may log in on occasion on old.reddit in the future on my PC but on mobile I'll be done. Or possibly when I'm searching for something on my browser and reddit results come up. But adblockers there mean no money for reddit and definitely no engagement as I'll just be looking for an answer and leaving.

@zinklog I'm on reddit and my app will work even after the pricing kicks in (RedReader). But I am happy many communities moved here - they make my fediverse experience more interesting.

I try not to keep myself captive from one server so I follow communities from a variety of Lemmy servers, as well as on other platforms like Kbin, guppe, chirp.social, Friendica, Lotide etc.

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

My account on Reddit is almost 12 years old now, and I've been ready for a change, so while I'm not going to delete my reddit account, I'll certainly not be browsing it over the fediverse.

[–] Death2lois@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

I'm gonna stay here unless I hear there are changes. I only use Joey for Reddit, and if they take it away I'll only go via web searches, where some niche info is buried in a 10 yr old reddit post.

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

I'm sure at some point I'll get on old.reddit again, for as long as it's still around. After all, I spent a dozen years or more on reddit; it's hard to just walk away from that cold turkey. But, I kinda like what's going on with Lemmy. I've really liked what I've seen with lemmy.world, there's a cool vibe here, and I'm already feeling at home. I think I'm gonna stick around. :-)

I'll mostly stick with Lemmy, since I don't plan to download the official Reddit app once that becomes the only option.

[–] vetramiga@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

honestly, if Sync and old are both dying, I'm just gonna go without. I have built up so many tools and extensions to avoid ads being shoved in my face constantly on the internet, it's not worth it. probably should get back to reading more books instead of fucking scrolling constantly.

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

I think I’ll use both. Though my time on Reddit dwindles.

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

I'll probably still append Google search with reddit until I can do so with Lemmy, Squabbles, or Tildes.

I've also been checking reddit to wait for the next round of Tildes invites and using it for one very specific education related subreddit that I don't think would ever migrate somewhere else because it's too niche, but other than that I'll be avoiding the rest of Reddit.

[–] coffeetest@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Undecided on Lemmy, but good so far. I deleted my Reddit account and have no plans on returning unless they get rid of the CEO and even then not sure I would.

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

I'm thinking I'll stop in, in like a week or so, but before sync shuts down and see about what I want to salvage.

Probably will also backup my reddit account and delete from the web version at some point in july once most of the 3rd party apps are shut down maybe sooner.

Might continue to use reddit as an accountless lurker on the web version occasionally, but I am taking this as a change to lower my overall social-media-on-my-phone-aimlessly time.

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

Deleted my Reddit account for nearly 2 years already and never felt better. I was just reading through old.reddit so far.

Here I’ve only spent 1-2 times a month reading and posting basically because I don’t understand it that much yet and didn’t get used to it; on initial usage, I could only say the content’s not the same as Reddit but that could be just an issue on my side because I’ve subscribed to some weird stuff…

Lemmy has potential, the more users would join I think it would become even better, however it’ll make it harder for moderators as a large flock of bots would have to be filtered

[–] skywhale241@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Im staying here

[–] destructdisc@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Probably use both, tbh. Lemmy has a ways to go in terms of the smoothness of the whole experience BUT I'm sure it's going to get way better, and at some point I look forward to being able to drop Reddit almost entirely.

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

personally I'll probably use reddit as well as lemmy for a few weeks, but less and less. I use a 3rd party client (slide for reddit) and dont intend to go back to the official app, when Ive last used it I found it unusable and this whole incident has really soured my opinion of it. I may occasionally visit it on desktop after that is gone, I actually dont mind new reddit on desktop unlike most, but since I dont usually use social sites on my desktop anyway and again, have been liking reddit less after this, I dont foresee myself using it that way much and probably will leave entirely after awhile. Lemmy doesnt really have all the small communities reddit does, but that does seem to be changing pretty rapidly. Im sure a whole lot of recent lemmy users will go back after awhile, but given the apps havent even shut down yet, my hope is that enough people come and stay for there to be enough to be happy with, even if its nowhere near the user count of reddit

[–] Cralex@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

I’m a mod in a small handheld emulator community. I’m not in a particular hurry to return the sub to public, but we’ll see what they other guys do. As for me, I’ll definitely keep using Lemmy, although I might use Reddit as well depending on how things develop.

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

Between the website and mlem, I believe Lemmy has a decent user experience so far. I’m only monitoring Reddit to see how bad they are doing

[–] PurrJPro@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Will probably use Reddit every now and again but Lemmy has been a MUCH more pleasent experience overall, I can't see Reddit becoming nearly as nice

[–] bimmer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I'm gonna use both until I find more meme groups here tbh

[–] otherpocket@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Switch back to reddit but the minute Lemmy or kbin or whatever gets up to reddit speed, will switch for good.

[–] query@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely stay. Haven't left reddit, but I want to see all the same communities here that I had there whether or not they return. Also betting on the software and algorithms here improving, having posts update more often, but not have the page auto-refresh which seems to be a bug.

Also just had a bug where it was the wrong post I found myself in while typing the comment. Although the other comments below were for the correct one, so I'm guessing that's an issue with what's being loaded within the page rather than the page itself being wrong.

[–] dylan@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Lol no. I'll still use if I need answers forma google search, but other than that, I'm out.

[–] FangedWyvern42@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reddit on mobile for the moment, but on PC Lemmy. Right now, Lemmy on mobile is pretty much unusable.

[–] inventa@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Jerboa for Android is still early stages, but it does the job.

[–] FangedWyvern42@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm on IOS. The site is slow and I keep forgetting to update so I can't use the app on Testdrive.

[–] FangedWyvern42@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm on IOS.

[–] Countmacula@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think I’ll use both. Though my time on Reddit dwindles.

[–] SlowNoPoPo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I'm giving lemmy a good try. Interface seems nice, I like the federated nature of it, we can only hope that we get more users, so I'll stick it out and see if the users come (and they should)

[–] sabriy01@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I prefer use both because i liked Lemmy

[–] Mewtwo@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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