Lemmy 100%?

I'm not using reddit ever since they broke all the 3rd party clients.

I mean you can still use them, it's just more finicky

I'm never going back to corporate social media. If it's not FOSS and available to self host reasonably, I'm not interested anymore.

So that means, lemmy and others like it only from now on for me. Already close to 1k posts made.

Aren't you like the main mod of the r/piracy community?
- I used to be until the blackouts where I was demoded by the admins for blacking out the sub.
Yeah, I hear you. I couldn't find yet a replacement for YouTube. It has quite a lot of content there, for the good and the bad, but some are quite helpful
I'm glad you're here :) I'm trying to get better at noticing opportunities to post and contribute myself

Haven't been to Reddit since the API changes last summer. I'm trying my best to be a good Lemmite but I don't post enough OC, so that's my bad

I feel guilty, that is why I asked. Yesterday, I even posted a question on Reddit instead of here. I feel that I should believe more on the Lemmites
- I thought we were lemmings 😥
Find stuff and post it here. Our memes comrade.

I moved completely here after the reddit API thing.

Me too!

Left reddit as soon as the blackout happened, was actually impressed at myself being able to stay off it. Haven't been back except when I google a question, and the answer is on an old reddit thread (I do not reply or comment).

My opinion is Lemmy needs more communities and more DAUs. Have been trying to tell people why they should switch but I'm not techy, my friends are not techy and they just don't care about data/ownership etc. I'm hoping reddit shits the bed further so more laypeople jump ship.

Same goes for mastodon which needs more content although I only previously used twitter on days with big events (oscars, grammys, f1 race days etc).

i hate that we are here stuck trying to convince laypeople when we used to be the ones to shape the internet. now its just coporations making us ruin it 9-5 every day, for laymen to just use the shittiest option because its the one with the biggest marketing budget.

This place feels like a breath of fresh air. It genuinely helped me cut down on social media usage.

I recently got booted off of Reddit and I'm hoping participating here on Lemmy will help me get over the need for social media I hadn't realized I had developed.
- Good luck. It has certainly helped me.

Deleted my old account(s) a few weeks back, when i use reddit now its usually from the browser just to see the answer to something, no more accounts for me.

Fediverse, Forums, or bust.

And if forums just add fediverse integration like discourse is already doing, just win-win
- Yep, for now I just add the Discourse forums to my RSS reader in Nextcloud and catch the new posts in the Nextcloud News app
- Damn, the future is rad.
I miss the old topic specific internet forums so badly, but having tons of different accounts made the barrier to entry high so I understand why they died out.

I'm Lemmy 99%. Can't do 100% because sometimes there isn't an equivalent community on Lemmy so I have no choice but to use Reddit.

You could make one and then post it to both communities.
- If it's a topic I'm super passionate about & there's no community on Lemmy then sure. But I'm not going to start a new Lemmy community every time I want to post a random dog photo or whatever.

I deleted my Reddit account during the blackouts and haven't gone back.

Lemmy will thrive anytime Reddit experiences another exodus and the servers don't crash.

I'm sometimes checking reddit now, because Lemmy is mostly memes. Where are the discussions? Why aren't they taking place?

But obviously not using their shitty app. Just browser with adblocking.

There are discussions, but (almost) only about linux and the sorts.
I just posted a discussion thread yesterday about Dragonball z.

Only time I use reddit is if I Google something and it leads to a reddit thread. I hope more people will use Lemmy so when I Google stuff Lemmy comes up first. Fuck reddit I hope their servers get attacked

100% since they killed Apollo but in general less of everything.

After Apollo went down, made me realize how much unnecessary screen time I was wasting my life on. The smaller size and scope of the fediverse is probably better for my mental health than Twitter/Reddit were

Yes, since I don't have a Reddit account

Never post on Reddit never browser it and ask my questions on here. Sometimes I look at a Reddit post for an answer to an obscure question but if it’s something I ask I use Lemmy.

Hard to use reddit when your favourite reddit app no longer works

I browse Reddit anonymously nowadays on a web browser. I still absolutely hate the experience. It lags way too much, videos suddenly become "no longer available", spend enough time and it will yell at you again for getting the app as if it didn't when you first opened the site (at least it's not as insistive as Instagram, an even worse website), that new logo reeks of Discord and Android having a baby, and not to mention, comments with a negative karma score are automatically hidden for whatever reason.

I only continue browsing that site to catch up with some communities with no real equivalent on Lemmy.
- Reddit sucks the butt. And you can quote me on that.
Yea sorry Boost doesn't work for Lemmy anymore so...plus Lemmy is better and collectively smarter.

No and No.

I am happy to let this place grow organically with no pressure. I will not and have not been back to Reddit since coming here. Frankly, I am sick of hearing about Reddit; it’s like someone constantly going on about their ex.

I don’t use Reddit whatsoever. Being away from that site for 18 months has really shown how low quality the content there is. I know longer have any desire to ever interact with that site if I can help it, even if the fediverse is missing some of the active niche communities on reddit

It took years for Reddit to achieve mass appeal (remember Digg???). For now, Reddit is still far superior for niche communities, especially the knowledge base. I tried to be 100% Lemmy, but the need for highly technical specific information always drives me back to Reddit.

If there's a community here for something and it's active, I post here. If not, I post elsewhere.

If i'm looking for something online and the only info is on some niche subreddit, then I go to reddit. Other than that, I pretty much just lurk here in the shadows, muttering to myself about vengeance and being the night

I go to Reddit for two niche subreddits and I look forward to the day I can abandon it for good for Lemmy. The front page doesn't even entertain me anymore, every discussion there is so boring.

slashdot.org > digg > reddit > lemmy.

always 100% until hard pivot to next 100%

Exactly same path, but Google Reader instead of shashdot.org

Btw, I was always curious why people abandoned /. as it didn't have any drama iirc.

Im very glad seeing more and more comments on any thread on lemmy. I kept using it and interacting with it for a whole year since the exodus, vowing to still use it even if it got slightly deserted because I believe in this project that isn't mine. Im so happy you guys did as well. (Im just a user) I hope it will grow and that we will overcome the human tendency to pollute whatever space they're in to finally call this home.

I still use other media though, i swear it was only one time baby!

uh no not really. I'm just here for memes and doomscrolling

me too. far too many fundamentalists running around already

There's one small community on Reddit that just doesn't exist here. Well, it does, but there's like 5 members lol. If it weren't for that I'd jump ship entirely. I am thinking maybe I'll find a separate specific forum just for that one topic...

RSS feeds (Feeder) for read-only mode of subreddits that don't exist here, and re-post to Lemmy if I want to discuss a specific topic that bad

Depends if the community came over here with me or not.

I gave at the office.

I only post or reply on Lemmy, but I do have Stealth for Reddit still for those really bad doom scrolling days.

I haven't logged in for a good long while. Occasionally I visit old discussions on there as a guest, though, just because it's where obscure stuff tends to gets discussed.

i don't post on most reddit communities but we're sorely lacking a c/randomactsofblowjobs

What is Reddit?

I got permabanned from reddit across all accounts including any new ones I make all because I decided to argue against racists. So I'm in it for the run with Lemmy.

I got permabanned from there once, I made a comment on anpost about the pedo leadsinger of the lostprophets saying something like " he deserves to die in the least humane way possible".

I appealed it by saying "Google him and tell me you don't agree with me" 2 days later I was unbanned.

I wanna get off Lemmy/all eventually, but everything kinda stuck there

I only use lemmy and 4chan as social media now

I haven't contributed to Reddit since the API fiasco. I will sometimes still read it but a lot less than before. I contribute here now.

Stop talking about your ex

Yes (⌐■_■). I am gonna do completionist++.

I can't use Reddit. I got site banned.

Thought about clearing my browser data and going back with a clean email once my IP shifts, but it all seems like a bit of a pain.

Frankly, the fact I'm cut off probably bothers me more than anything I would actually use it for.

100% of what?
