I can't say I will stay on Lemmy. But I won't return to Reddit.

Yes. For the time being. Would love to see larger migration from reddit.

Yes. I’ve been been on lemmy.world and kbin.social for the past week and the growth and content maturation is good enough for me now, and improving fast.

I deleted my Reddit account and all my post history yesterday.

I'm planning on staying here permanently. I'll go into Reddit just to check subreddit names I've subscribed to and see if there's a Lemmy community for it every now and then, but I'm not going to engage with Reddit more than that.

Ive found the transition to be seamless. I put Jerboa in the spot where RiF used to be on my phone, and now I dont even think about going to the old site.

Its actually nicer to he around at the nascent stages of Lemmy's popularity. Im catching different communities just by sorting through all/new that I wouldn't have found otherwise

LLL

I think it’s looking very promising. I’ll agree with others here that if the users come on, some of the bugs get worked out, and an Apollo like app gets created Id be happy to call this home.

I’ve been a serious Reddit user since the digg incident so it really is like the end of an era.

That is the goal, yes. One thing I've noticed is that the relative scarcity of posts here, especially news, has me frequenting a lot of news sites directly. Which I think is a good thing. Of course, one can't expect Lemmy to rival Reddit's content and engagement from the get go. We'll see where the platform is headed in the future.

Hell yeah I'm stayin. Especially after reddit continued to dig in their heels

I intend to BUT ultimately the decision is on the mayority's preference

I want to. But in all honesty, it depends on how much of the communities I'm used to migrate here as well. Right now my typical reddit content is mostly missing here. It has potential, but like any other social media site, it depends on the community and the content. I'm hopeful though, I think reddit is in its final days either way.

[hey, first post on Lemmy 🥳]

If Mastodon & Lemmy remains are active as they are right now, then yes.

Probably, if lemmy become searchable in generic search engine. The one thing that made reddit great is searching a keyword + reddit, and most likely you'll find others who haved reviewed, discussed, fix, experience, what i'm searching before. So far can't do it with lemmy.

Yes. More and more content every day, no corporate overlords to appease, and best of all so far the community has been significantly more friendly.

i'll stay on lemmy once more of the popular content extends beyond "lemmy vs reddit". I'm liking lemmy a lot and with better mobile apps, it'll encourage me to stay.

Yes, but

The site needs a ton of UX polishing to keep "lazy users" hooked (something I think it's critical if you want to harvest as much users as possible from this fire). I feel like software developers tend to be more conscientious internet citizens that fight for their rights and seek independence, so I'm hoping that gives an influx of fixes/bug reports on lemmy's github repo leading to stability, but maybe we also need to find ways to collaborate with front-end/brand design people (?)

I was already on lemmy dammit

First comment here, but yes. Reddit has shown zero interesting in responding to community feedback about the API changes and u/spez is a complete waste of oxygen.

Yes

Yes, it's really clean. Once it grows the debugging will help smooth things out.

Yes!

When people look up things on google, they specifically look for a solution posted on reddit, I know I do. Lemmy needs to be used as a way for people to solve problems, before it can take over what reddit is used for now. I'm staying on Lemmy because I like the idea of a functioning reddit alternative.

Yes, whatever happens in the other place I'll be staying here.

Time will tell. Digg was great until it wasn't. Reddit killing my favorite app of 10+ years can fuck off (long live Bacon Reader). Lemmy by design is fragmented which is great, but will introduce momentum problems. Really it's going to come done to; Is their a Lemmy app and server that I can encapsulate most of my interests into and be able to ignore the rest?

I certainly hope so. While I can't look into the future, I haven't been feeling the need to return to reddit at all, and I have hopes for Lemmy - if it continues to grow without devolving into some bot-infested, right-wing mess or something.

For now though, I'm definitely hopeful. The announcement of the Sync and Slide apps gives me a positive outlook here!

I like Lemmy so far and I'm definitely not installing the Reddit app once RiF is dead, we'll see how things go.

I'm never going back. I like Lemmy. I hope reddit dies a sad death. If Lemmy didn't exist, I probably wouldn't have left reddit. I see much higher quality content here.

I don't need Reddit.

I don't need Lemmy either, but I like it.

Too late, my antenna dropped and my ears grew. I'm a lemmie now.

As long as it doesn't devolve into a cesspool of "those types" of people, I'll probably stay around. Discoverability does need to improve, though

Staying here. I run the OSR and Chiptune communities. Can't leave now.

This is my new home 😁

No, unless at some point, most content is no longer about Reddit and Lemmy! Trying to give it a good chance for now.

It depends on the content & communities I can find here and how well things function here. So far the lack of content I'm interested in has been my main issue with Lemmy, but otherwise it seems like a fine place to be.

I'll stay and hope it becomes my go-to Deddit replacement. I like the lack of karma, and the posts and comments seem of a higher quality.

It's a no-brainer. I was an early addict of Usenet, and never found the same utility and community when everyone left for the bright shiny corporate sites (and usenet became harder and harder to access since it wasn't making any billionaires richer.) The Fediverse is what is needed to take the internet back. I just feel bad that it took me so long to start. I joined Mastodon in January and am a thousand times more active there than I ever was at the birdsite, because my account is growing and morphing to fit MY needs. The same will happen with Lemmy and Kbin, and I hope with peertube and all the others. I keep saying it...the Fediverse is what we should have been doing all along, rather than tolerating the billionaires because it was "convenient".

Yes.

How are you counting the votes? Manually?

Not sure but I will be staying on a federated reddit-like site. I'm more leaning towards this over kbin though.

Will I ever go back to Reddit? Even if hell freezes, no.

Yes

Yes. 13 year former reddit user. Haven't been on reddit for about two weeks.

Also, fyi, there will be a response bias that i suspect will favor those who think they will stay on lemmy in this poll.

I actually much prefer lemmy. But unlike most, I'd much prefer it not become a reddit clone. Once there is too many people it becomes a search engine, a long line of puns and hot takes. Just my 2 cents. I prefer engaging discussion over content. The content is just there to get the ball rolling. Either way, I'm perfectly happy with lemmy in whatever it evolves into and I'm glad I'm here with everyone, and I'm really enjoying this early stage. I have always much preferred small communities in my own life. This is the only sm I use rn.

Also unlike most I actually really enjoy the home brew vibe. Having to struggle and work around bugs and stuff is kinda fun. Lol

Yes! I also can't wait for Sync!

I'm still on the fence. I've been having a lot of issues with lemmy after creating an account

I realized how much of a marketing cesspool Reddit has become once I left it. That along with the whole doom scrolling has been toxic to my mental health. So I am much better off without it.

That said, the fediverse seems to be a little too small especially for niche topics. Plus the this world still needs some tool/interface to unify it and make it easier to use. I still go back reddit once in a while for those niche communities but I have logged out for the first time in a decade+ from reddit.

I have started focusing on my hobbies more, the whole reddit fiasco has been a reminder that it is not just FB that is bad, it is everything including Reddit and in time possibly places like this if it grows.

Its so difficult to stay but i want to. The android app needs a lot of work. But i enjoy it from time to time.

I have been uaing Reddit since 2009 so it will be extremely difficult to leave reddit.

I will use reddit, lemmy and Tumblr.

This is my first comment on here, and it definitely won't be my last. I'm not looking back.

I think so. It was hard to leave reddit at first, I didn't realize how hooked into that ecosystem I was. Now that there are more people interacting with Lemmy and more communities popping up, I think I'll continue to stick around. Lemmy does seem to be turning the corner from reddit bashing into its own environment, which is refreshing.

Lemmy seems promising, its rough around the edges and needs work, but so was Digg when I first joined and the same with Reddit. It seems like the Lemmy developers and the iOS developers (I'm sure the same with Android, but I only have iOS devices) are working hard on both bug fixes and quality of life updates, which is encouraging.

I do not have much of a choice in this. No matter how good or bad Lemmy is, Reddit is not an option anymore for me: I do not want my data to get monetized. I should own the comments I write, not them. Also, the recent events really showed that Reddit administration board cannot be trusted: continuing to use Reddit would be silently supporting their behavior, which I just can't.

So far I like what I'm seeing in Lemmy. Yes, it's not as good as Reddit used to be, but I am sure that with time it will be similar to what I was experiencing. And I'm enjoying it already.

Short term, definitely. Long term, how the hell should I know.

Yes. I'm still lost but I'm here to stay...

I don’t think so, for the moment at least.

Why? Because it’s me! Hi! I’m the lazy casual Reddit user you guys have mentioned a couple of times!

I have basically only come here because I smell blood in the water, and I’m really annoyed by some of my favorite subs still being privated. But at the same time I recognize that what that sack of human waste at the head of Reddit is doing rn is enforcing a dictatorship.

This site for now is, at least compared to many other mainstream social networks, very rough and unintuitive. And this really doesn’t help to grow the number of potential users, considering the overwhelming majority of people using social network nowadays is 10 times even more casual than I am

But, there’s a butt. This change from Reddit to the Fediverse is necessary. Maybe not now or in six months, but I can already see myself relieved in the future because I had already started dipping my toes in other sites.

Also while I’m not an expert I recognize the technical advantages offered by the Fediverse compared to Reddit, all thanks to a devoted and positive community.

Time will tell, but for now I’ll openly admit to play both sides

Yes

I'm not minding it. The instance (or app itself) seems slow, but overall okay. I'm just hoping the content shifts away from talking about how bad Reddit is and more about providing its own content.

Yes.

I came here as a Reddit alternative and like it much better. It reminds me of why I used to enjoy being on the internet before everything was owned by corporations trying to make money. A lot of people are comparing it to old forums, but it is also much more connected and easier to navigate than the forums of past internet days.

yup. but wee need more feature like real polls.

Yes for sure if it gets more usage. I love the concept of Lemmy, but for now it's just a bit too quiet.

Yes.

Depends on the content, really.

I really hope this migrating-from-Reddit thing will work. I'd really like to stay.

Slick interface. Text-heavy. OG Redditors.

I’ll stay for sure if it picks up.

I feel so let down by Reddit. I had two accounts with a combined Karma of 800k. I only posted original content. I posted thousands of comments. Reddit was an ingrained part of my daily life for years.

Then both accounts were permanently suspended immediately after I called out a bot phishing scam. Two appeals rejected. I was gutted. Still am.

Reddit is hedging everything on AI / LLM populating the entire site. Who needs human content creators anymore?

So, yeah. If Lemmy grows, I’ll be arguing, trolling, and jesting here for many years to come.

Absolutely. I will never use Reddit again out of principle.

Most likely. All we need is more active users generating content and I'll be quite happy!

Yes

Lemmy and Jerboa have really improved so much these last few days. I've already deleted my main account on reddit and I just use my secondary one to try and spread the word about lemmy and kbin.

Yes, that's the plan. Regardless of the Reddit drama Lemmy started to grow on me.

I'm uncertain.

I won't be returning to Reddit, but I'm not sure about staying here either currently.

A fair portion of the communities I followed on Reddit were rather niche, so it might be a bit before similar communities pop up here. I'm also not completely sold on the fediverse concept, and there's a strong focus on Reddit hate here rather than actual new content.

On the other hand, I think it has a lot of promise, and the 3rd party app I used for Reddit is also coming here, so I think it has a lot of potential. I just hope Lemmy comes into its own eventually.

Staying. Spez has my explicit invitation to suckle my boomer taint.

Only if mobile apps catch up to the likes of Apollo/rif. There's a lot of quirks that I'm not a fan of for jebora. I did see both Apollo and sync are both developing apps for Lemmy/kbin so I'm hopeful.

Where would I go?

With the dumpster fire that is Twitter, and now Reddit, more than ever there's a need for decentralization. At this point, it's not a matter of if, but when a company will turn on itself to make a profit. What made Reddit Reddit, are the communities. While Reddit actually hosts the service, that's pretty much the only contribution to its existence I've seen. I used the webpage when on a PC, but I refused to use the official app. I've decided to bite the bullet and delete my Reddit accounts, because that's the only real way to make a statement, not blacking out subreddits for a few days. They don't care about that. It's just a drop in the ocean. But deleting (user) accounts, that's sending out a clear message. Lemmy continuing to grow and attract content creators, moderators, and posters will make it more vibrant and usefull. So I'm personally here to stay.

I mean no one expects a reddit duplicate overnight. Give it some time.

Yes, yes I think I will.

I'm happy to give it a chance. I can't imagine Reddit will get better when they IPO

Yes

Yeah, I think I'll stick around ;-)

I want to, but I think the content still needs some help

Hell yeah. I was 90% sold until ljdawson confirmed sync for lemmy. I'm going where he's going. Now I'm 110% staying.

All I'm wondering about is who will foot the bill on server costs. How is this site planning to be build more sustainably than reddit?

Yes. Even if it dies, I'm done with Reddit.

I'm staying. I haven't liked reddit for a while now.

I'm here and on Kbin now. I have a few sales things I'm wrapping up on Reddit but that's it.

I also moved my Relay for Reddit into my general apps and put Jerboa, and the Lemmy Kbin wpa on my desktop next to it.

Just tried it for a few hours. Seems good, similar to reddit. But yeah, the fediverse part is confusing.

Some issues I have so far are, (1) when searching for communities, it seems that they are fragmented throughout the fediverse, whereas in reddit they are in one place. which makes it kinda odd and well (2) it's kinda small-knit. which I guess is good but feels odd coming from a large site to a small one.

Still, I'm gonna give it a try. to me its something new but similar :)

Yes. Reddit has been replaced with a combo of Lemmy, yahoo news aggregation, raw imgur scrolling and duolingo on the toilet.

Maybe if they bring actual polls. I feel cheated after having clicked on a poll that was not, in fact, a poll

Yes, and I am hoping to check out and even host a number of other fediverse projects over the next several months.

Absolutely! I see no point in going back :)

Absolutely. It’s a matter of principle, and Lemmy is getting better every day. I uninstalled Apollo and won’t be back.

Yup. Just need 2FA.

Right now lemmy and like are still a bit rough since the spike coming from those leaving reddit happened so fast.

However, the development it picking up fast, since its a open source project, so in the coming weeks we'll see many new features, and see the platform improve really fast.

So I think it'll stick with it for a while, because it'll get better

I've been a loooooong time reddit user (was using it in parallel with digg). Had an account at some point but deleted it with the Pao drama. Now I made an account on lemmy.world :D. So happy to finally be active again :)

Hundred percent. Was a Digg "refugee" once before and I made the migration, more than likely will be a Reddit refugee making the migration again to Lemmy.

Yes

I'm here to stay even at this level of users. My hope is that the user base grows and the vibe stays the same.

I'd like to! Most of the more niche places I go to aren't here yet and that's hard for me.

I hope to! I was skeptical at first that enough momentum could build to turn this into a viable Reddit alternative, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised so far

Yes. Short answer, reddit has gone stale.

Only if I can search it somehow. Google doesn't seem to index it.

Yes, I don't see why not. Seems to be going pretty well. I expect to eventually fully tune out of reddit same as I did Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. I've long enjoyed somewhat smaller discussion sites pre and after reddit, such as Slashdot, kuro5hin, Hacker News and so forth.

Fuck u/spez, but weirdly enough I'm grateful to him because I wouldn't have found out about the Fediverse otherwise.

I'm not going to Reddit for sure!

Yes I really like this. I've been signing on every night learning how it works. The atmosphere is better, better content, I've been signing on Reddit to watch it burn, I thought I'd miss it and I don't- haven't even gone on today actually

Can't wait to see what /justunsubbed is bitching about lol

Hell yeah! I just recently told my friends that I feel Lemmy reached a critical mass where there is enough posts to keep me entertained all the time. I have no reason to return to Reddit

Duh, why is this even a question? It's got some growing pains, but the Lemmyverse promises to be resilient to corporate capture in a way Reddit never could be

All we need is enough people to feel alive. We shouldn't need an entire country's worth of a crowd in order to feel fulfilled.

yes

I hope to. This gives the same vibes and works far better than the Reddit app and website.

100% yes.. It just doesn't feel right to me that Reddit is a platform entirely created by the community, yet the ones getting rich are a select few.

In essence, people make content and some guy who probably doesn´t even use reddit that much gets to buy a new house/car/boat. No thank you.

I like it, feels like a new frontier where we have the chance to build new and better.

Yep and once I know that the mobile app is stable enough too, then I'll just completely migrate to lemmy.

For sure. I even started my own instance for some friends and myself. I like it a lot.

Federation doesn't work well tho. We are only seeing a fraction of the posts and comments from remote communities. Also, posts and comments made to remote communities doesn't seem to get through. These are the main issues I have with it right now.

Yes, absolutely. It vaguely reminds me of Usenet and I'm not happy with Reddit at this point. I don't see that changing

Yes

Yes as long as Lemmy is free from outside control.

I don't think lemmy is ready for primetime. There are many defaults on this that make it seem like a clunky early adopter build of an application.

I'm not planning on leaving... but i'm still struggling to get the same use case here as reddit provides.

Yes!

(P.S. hope they add a poll system)

Already abandoned that site for good. Spez can choke on a good D and die, fuck him.

Here to stay. Lemmy feels like old Reddit, back in the early days, after Digg 2.0 imploded for acting like... current Reddit. Digg 2.0 was actually less brazen and more polite than the crap Spez has been pulling. It's mind boggling that's he's learned so little over the years.

I will stay here and will try to help the fediverse grow.

Up until now I was using the official reddit app and had no problem. In the last year the ads have become really annoying and was trying 3rd party apps, but now this won't be possible.

Will I go back to it? Well, it's a fact that googling (something + reddit) has saved me numerous times so, yeah I will take advantage of it I guess, but I don't want to contribute to the slightest to it.

Reddit is just not trustworthy anymore. The only way I will be actively using it is if it becomes federated.

Yea, it's pretty nice. I like it a lot more than Reddit, has better vibes.

Definitely yes, it's like the California gold rush right now and I love to see this place evolve over time

Leaning a little towards kbin but im active on lemmy and kbin! Never going back to reddit though.NEVER EVER

I'll stick around. Not going back to reddit, but I hope Lemmy grows and becomes more active.

To be determined:

Waiting for more polished mobile apps, and have to see if this initial swell of users will keep the momentum.

Yes. Only thing I found really useful on Reddit was consolidated news. Nearly everything else was a time waster. I refuse to use their mobile app so I’m not going anywhere. I’ve been saving so much time not mindlessly scrolling on Reddit.

First comment here! Seeing the rapid growth of Lemmy/KBin/Fediverse in general gives me a lot of hope for this site. I hope the momentum continues and I definitely plan on sticking around.

Yes, definitely.

I’m actually really enjoying watching it grow, I joined on another account at under 10k then on this account (which is now my main) at around 100k, now it’s over 1m. I know that number is slightly inflated since there’s bots and multiple accounts for some users but still, my point still stands

Absolutely

I'm already committed dude, I have made the switch. I haven't even opened rif (except by accident lol) since the subs went dark. That place was starting to turn into a fascist shitshow anyway.

I'm trying to but honestly its got so many problems.

• I often see random post appear on top because I'm guessing its a web socket connection and a recently post top decks due to the algorithm. It sometimes causes me to click on the wrong post.

• On the topic of wrong posts I often click on a post and get a different post than the one selected as though there is conflicting Id's.

• The back button is stopped by a dirty wisywig but it does not trigger an alert for loss of information so its effectively just disabled if your abandoning the post.

• The votes seems to randomly fluctuate.

• having to confirm a reply as read is super annoying.

• When I come to lemmy I have to change to top day or something otherwise I see the same posts over and over and there seems to be no way to set a different default

I will say that I am a software developer and happy to help fix some of these issues. At the moment because of federation I am unsure where to contribute but I definitely see no path forward for lemmy while these issues persist.

I'll definitely be sticking around to see what happens with Lemmy. I may end up using kbin primarily but am very much interested in subscribing to Lenny communities across instances. It's been tremendous fun learning about the Fediverse and ActivityPub, and I also think that decentralization is a good response to what we have all witnessed with centralized social media

Yes.

Only time I'm going on Reddit is to steal my old stuff to post here. I like this federated concept better

Yes, absolutely. The community over here is 110% better than reddit ever was.

Time will tell, I like it atm.

Been looking for a viable alternative to reddit for a long time!

yeah, this place is pretty hip and cool

yes

Yep

yes. reddit was a little bit of a bad habit for me, lemmy is a reddit-like fix where i’m more comfortable contributing rather than lurking.

It's been alright so far, but going from being a constant lurker to starting to engage has been tough. Lot of the communities that I used to frequent have yet to migrate over and it is hard not having that especially for niche communities. I don't expect this to be an issue in the long run but that's the biggest factor rn.

Yes.

Lemmy currently requires a lot of work. By sticking around and providing feedback and support, we all can hopefully iron out those kinks and make it mainstream-ready.

Staying? I just spent the last WEEK spending all day every day on deep diving the fediverse.

Yes. I am staying 😁

I do plan on staying here mostly. Aaron would be ashamed of how far reddit has fallen. Some subs I cannot live without like /r/CFB which means I will use reddit from time to time unfortunately

Yes!

Lemmy is the lost spirit of early 2010s Reddit I had been mourning for some time even before all the controversy

At this rate I plan on staying on Lemmy for the time being. Reddit seems like it will fail soon so I should try an alternative. I was surprised to see no forums about Digimon on Lemmy so I had to create one, along with other forums such as Disgaea, Skuntank, sunflowers, skunks, whales, and vultures.

I've used my lemmy.ml account periodically since 2020, so... yes. And my interaction has only increased since the Reddit issues.

It seems like more content is getting uploaded daily. As long as the communities I enjoy interacting with post on lemmy, I have no reason to look for my content elsewhere

Yes

I don't need another social media site that is trying to sell my data, feed me endless ads, AND has a dictator at the helm.

I'm not deleting my Reddit account, and I won't stop using Reddit entirely, but I'm done using Reddit multiple times a week and will mostly browse occasionally or through search results from Google.

I was deeply sad when all this began and Sync for Reddit was being shutdown, but Lemmy legit feels just like Reddit only better!

Plus, with Sync for Lemmy in development I couldn't be happier!!! Just needs to grow with more users and activity for those more niche communities to develop. But I'm all in for the decentralized future!

I'm loving Lemmy and planning to stay, it's been cool seeing so many new communities pop up and grow every day.

Yes! Done with Reddit

Yes

The concept is showing lots of promise. There is great content being created, and an active community. I was on the fence a few weeks ago, but now I am bought in, to the fediverse. Lemmy looks like the top platform, though I still like kbin's ui approach. Overall I see that lemmy is ahead in content and has my support.

Depends.

The stuff I usually go to reddit for has been popping up here, but the communities are still so small and so quite that it doesn't fill the void. There is also a lot of double posting in feeds because, while decentralization is very cool, multiple instances running the same or very similar spaces lead to a lot of community fragmentation - and if you want to stay part of the communities you have to kinda follow all of them and .. Suddenly you have the same post from 3 different communities because well, the poster also realize that the community is fragmented.

Also just a bunch of things are just extremely user unfriendly for seemingly no reason. Trying to subscribe or whatever to certain spaces or follow certain spheres or topics is just needlessly obtuse. Links not defaulting to opening a new tab is for sure a choice.

We'll see, if the spaces grow and become more lively and accessing the content I want becomes just a bit more straight forward, then yes, I'll stick around, but right now... eh, I'll check in but we'll see.

Yes. People are friendly here.

No twitter for months, been using mastodon, killing reddit for lemmy has been just as easy.

Yes, after Boost for reddit stops working.

I like it here and I don't like it anywhere else.

If Reddit fixed 100% of their issues today, probably not. There isn't anything Lemmy does significantly better than Reddit. In the real world, yes I think I'm here to stay assuming Lemmy continues to improve.

YES

I'll stay, I'm convinced this will help feddie communities, including also kbin or Mastodon as an example, to expand. I just see the problem of: where did my community go? do I need to register into 5 services? Something that many people are arguing and agreeing on and will soon have a decentralized nice federated community, no matter the name or the server you use (long-term for exodus from Reddit and others). I won't blame on this, is difficult to take these decisions in such a short time, days.

I like the general community vibes here, hope to see some of my specialized subs get some traction too! Gonna do my part!

Yup! Although there are clearly growing pains, the general vibe and tone of comments feels like the friendly and candid environment I previously liked in a lot of smaller subreddits. The kind where no one is expecting any kind of monetary return for an opinion. It's all intangible worthless internet points to be handed around, so there's not much to be had in ulterior motives.

Yes, obviously.

Yeah! Fills my reddit void

Yes!

Yes

Yeah I'll be staying, hoping for jerboa to improve or sync to release so I can have a UI that's a bit more encompassing (searching, hiding comment chains, share image posts as an image instead of a link, internal gif/ video playing etc). Hopefully some more communities pop up since I'm too lazy to moderate but missing a few of my favorite communities still or at least couldn't find them (fantasy books, Malazan, weed community, bento/meal prep, some science and engineering communities, etc)

YES! Definitely staying. I can’t go back to Reddit after all of this.

I’ve given up on Reddit. I’m here to stay

Yes! I’ve been enjoying it so far and it seems to be growing nicely. I just have to get out of my lurker habit and post more.

Yeah!

Yeah. Reddit just leaves a bad taste in my mouth now. I feel like I'm using Facebook when I'm there.

Yes

Yes

I'll stay, I refuse to use reddits official app.

Only downside is Istiill use Reddit to follow updates on Ukraine.

Is there a way to access lemmy on mobile?

Yes. I've been weaning myself off Reddit for a while. Frankly my social media goal is to touch more grass

That's the plan. I'm strongly invested in leaving Reddit for good.

I do have some concerns regarding the scalability of the Lemmy as a whole though. Seems like sync issues are a frequent problem.

Yes

Yes

I see no reason not to. I feel a little stuck to Reddit for some subreddits because of the years of content and answers. The SkyrimMods subreddit, for example, has so much information on old mods and fixes to problems that are extremely hard to find otherwise.

Overall though, I think I’ll spend more and more time on Lemmy / Kbin (still undecided on which I like better overall, but that’s the fun, right?) than I will on Reddit.

I don't see why not.

Lemmy needs a polling tool... I'm staying regardless 😏

If it gets better ( and I hope it does). I cannot tolerate using reddit's official app, but my experience on lemmy has been buggy and slow so far. Also my favorite subreddit has no sign of migrating yet.

I may not be as active here as I was on Reddit, until I understand it a bit better... but I use mastodon so it shouldn't be... too difficult, I would assume.

Yes. I am liking the experience so far and it has gotten me interested in the rest of the fediverse. There are a few user experience kinks that I think need working out and a few bugs I have run into, but I think they will be fixed with time and they are not deal breakers for me.

For me it depends. I've deleted my Reddit account entirely. Gone with the wind! And I've registered a Lemmy account. Then I realized how much more life time I've have without Reddit. Later I've realized I miss some specialized subs for retro gaming here. This is a much bigger community on Reddit. But Lemmy is growing and I hope what I'm missing finds its way to the Fediverse soon.

Yes, specially if the migration keeps up.

Gonna be using both, until the amount of content starts to be similar and then switch here permanently

yes

Yea, I'm here to stay and help it grow. Reddit even before all this BS just felt...icky sometimes. Lemmy doesn't, and I'm loving the passionate people that are moving here.

I'm platform agnostic and will use whatever works best, is cross compatible, ethical, and open source.

Yes. Even if Reddit goes back to semi-normal I just hope the Threadiverse retains the critical mass of users to stay interesting. Currently I really don't miss reddit at all.

Yes.

I don't know. The front page is confusing. When I press "all" and "hot" threads with 10 upvotes show up at the top. When I press "top of a day" I get some better posts, but soon new posts with 0 upvotes appear above them. It's all confusing and honestly, it's a mess. When I sort comments by top, I get comments with 0 upvotes at the top.
No kind of sorting seems to be doing what I want it to do.

Yes

Leaving Reddit for sure. Lemmy is top candidate right now.

I'd like to inform you that you will now be the recipients of most of my shitposting. Sorry!

Lemmy does not have ads and pop ups to force you download an app. So big yes for

I like the idea of the fediverse but seemed confusing when I tried looking into mastadon (maybe cause I don't use Twitter so I don't get the concept). Lemmy just feels right and intuitive

Too new to rate, but I have to say that I am optimistic. I was early on Digg, early on Reddit and in both cases, had great runs. Fingers crossed - but going to give it the college try.

Yes.

It will for sure change once more people join, but this whole fediverse idea... it feels like the next evolution of social media. I think almost all of us knew deep down something bad was happening with reddit / our social media use. Federated, community-managed social media seems to be a logical next step.

Yes.

I made accounts on both lemmy and kbin, not sure on how to juggle the two yet, but the atmosphere is much more laid back here then on Reddit

Yes 100%

Absolutely, this is my new home.

Yes, Absolutely! I also plan on using shreddit once I can't use infinity anymore.

Yes, I,m finding Lemmy quite intuitive for now although it is far from optimised. I have to say it was a smooth transition from reddit and felt like a band aid ripped off on an instant, hurt for a second but than it´s all good.

If the subreddits that I am usually lurking on have migrated here then I'll have no problem with staying on Lemmy. And if there's a mobile app (preferably on Android) for browsing Lemmy (and the fediverse in general) then even more reason for me to stay here.

But for a definitive answer? Yes

Yes

Yes

Absolutely yes, but hope there will be some decent mobile apps for this as well.

Once Boost quits working it'll be Lemmy full time.

Yeah i will stay :)

If reddit can save itself, it's likely I'll stay on reddit, but if they do indeed kill Boost, I'll probably stay here. I just need more people to move over to Lemmy because reddit does have that power of so many people being there that there's a community with a ton of content on it. Something as niche as retrogamerepair has active people you can talk to on reddit, and that's a big thing that Lemmy will need to get

Hopefully. What if the reddit CEO does a 180 and goes back on his position? I'm afraid that a lot of people will flood back into the site. Problem is, unless people leave organically and of their own will with the intention to use this site because it's better than reddit, nothing will change.

It's important to support alternatives like Lemmy.world because even if the reddit API is free again, now that reddit is going public, expect a lot of restrictions on content. reddit will die like Tumblr did (avid ex-Tumblr user here, before they effed it up, BTW are we allowed to swear freely here?). And like Digg before it. I'd rather be cut reddit out of my life ASAP so I'm praying a ton of communities migrate here... this is such a simple platform to use

Hi, I'm new here. How do you vote in the comments? I agree that lemmy is a good solution. Just wanted to say that much. Thank you.

Its hilarious that half the time people mean to write "Lemmy", their auto correct makes it into "Lenny". Cannot stop imaging the Lenny-dude everyone are coming to see..

Yes, there's already a million users on lemmy.world and plenty of content. The only thing is Lemmy isn't supposed to be one giant instance like lemmy.world, but spread out. Idk if that matters but if it does how would we keep things connected / what would the hierarchy of servers look like if lemmy.world were at the top?

I will stay, just have to figure out more how it actually works.

YES.

Fuck reddit. Fuck corporations. Lemmy has been fun.

Yes

In 2018 I registered for an instance running diaspora*. At the time it felt early but federation was certainly the future. I deleted all socials except Reddit. Now with reddit doing its thing and the influx of new users I feel like federation is a better option. I think I'll delete my reddit account fairly soon. However I might not use lemmy or kbin often as it's also a good time to start easing of social media all together

Definitely! Immediately before switching to Lemmy I found myself scrolling looking for something interesting, meanwhile everything on Lemmy is fresh and exciting. Loving it so far!

yes

Yes I'd be an idiot to go back to a closed system under corporate control. Its not the first time this has happened and it won't be the last. We are seeing the web closing up now and if we don't vote with our choices and content we will only be left with corporate walled silos with paid subscriptions to read, ads to watch, tracking on everything.... Skip and few steps and we and up with black mirror.

The narrative needs to be democratic. Same thing with privacy , if youbcant have a private conversation you can't bring about change. I hope you'll all stay too

Maybe, if the people stay but it's unlikely I'll go back to reddit

It just doesn't seem as busy or to have as much content yet, once it becomes more active I can see myself staying

Repeat after me:

Overwrite. Your. Reddit. History.

Especially if you've shared personal information. Deleting your account does NOT delete your history. Deleting does NOT delete your content from reddit's servers. Your old content is $$$ for reddit. There are free tools that can easily help you do this.

Yes

Yesss

I’m liking it, especially with this WefWef web app thing for iOS. Staying because I’m not going back to Reddit

Yes I defiantly will.

Yes

Yes

Remains to be seen. I'm looking forward to Sync for Lemmy. That is the main way I access Reddit so if the UI is similar I'll feel right at home.

Yes

Yes

YEAH love the community interactions here!

I hope to. It's between this and my kbin account. I made an account on one of each before I realized they were interchangeable and you could see and interact with the one from the other.

Yes

Absolutely, I'm not going back to Reddit after the shit they pulled.

I’ve found my new home. I’m here to stay 😊

Yes.

Heard about Lemmy maybe in 2019 (when it launched?) when I was looking for FOSS alternatives to everything I use, including Reddit. Never got around to trying it, but this looks good so far. Stripped of the Reddit nonsense. The main informational subs I use have started migrating the Reddit wikis. I was planning on leaving Reddit anyway when it IPO'd. This is the first step.

I dunno. I've been on Reddit for 16 years. I really really really like the RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) style of expanding images and doom scrolling. It's my morning binge.

Absolutely. I intend to keep browsing on here. Found a few nice places to wander around on and find cool stuff.

Yes

Can't say for certain, but I'm never going back to reddit unless they repeal their new API changes.

It depends. Right now it's unclear due to the lack of content. If that improves I'll stay but most of the communities are empty here at the moment

Stay? Where would I go? Reddit? The answer is yes, I'm here to stay

Yes, loving the variety as well as the freedom of using different instances! I'm a huge fan of decentralized projects in general!

Yes. There is a more peaceful vibe here.

Absolutely sticking around. Lemmy has basically completely replaced reddit for me. Once I got used to how instances and federation works it feels like how reddit was, especially like the smaller subreddits that were much tighter knit communities than the major subs.

Absolutely, federated social media is clearly the way of the future. For years before reddit forums were hosted and support pretty much solely from it's users, and it's like that again. I don't think big corps should have the huge hands in tech that they have had, and I think this is the answer.

I'm planning to stay and shift my Reddit activity to here. Even if that means rebuilding my network of communities from scratch.

Looks like it. Reminds me of old message/discussion boards so far, with actual real people.

I will if a few things happen...

A solid app on Android/iOS to rival Boost, RIF, and Apollo.

Growing communities.

As I used reddit exclusively through Apollo, I think I will completely migrate to Lemmy. My only gripe is the subpar webapp (at least for me it gets stuck a lot)

I'm on the fence right now. I understand the plus of federation is options, however the fracturing of servers and communities might be too much of a hurdle. I like reddit for the small communities it creates, but either those users finding lemmy too complicated or confusing might prevent those communities from reaching a usable point.

Yes!

I don't know about Lemmy specifically, but I'm definitely all in on decentralized, ActivityPub-based social media.

Feel like we're about to see an explosion in ActivityPub interfaces, and if that happens, it's probably inevitable someone makes a UX novel or innovative enough to pull me away from Lemmy or some other 1:1 reddit clone.

Yes

It's a little up in the air for me at the moment. I just discovered that all of our upvotes and downvotes aren't private. It's not what I'm used to at Reddit.

I can see pros and cons to this, so it will be an interesting change for sure.

I patched my Sync for Reddit with Revanced, so I will use both reddit and Lemmy. I hope by the time Sync for Reddit becomes unusable due to the lack of updates that there will be a good community here, and then I will leave reddit for good.

Definitely, I never felt the need to look at reddit since coming to lemmy

Here to stay and do my part to help steer the net away from megacorp monopolization of the web.

There were aggregators before Reddit, there will be aggregators afterwards. I've been using systems with similar philosophies since I was introduced to Usenet 40+ years ago. I, and the world, are always moving forwards, and never back.

Yes

Yes I think I will. There's still a lot to explore and I like that it's less toxic.

Yes.

Yes

Yes absolutely p

Yes, definitely!

Yes in case of not going back to spez's playground.

Although Lemmy is written in Rust I think i will switch to Kbin.

Yes

Planning to stay!

Yes.

I've already deleted the reddit app off my phone, and changed my browser home page to lemmy from reddit.

Yes

I have gone back to reddit in the past 24-48 hrs a few times to check up on things, something feels off. I know I know there's things going down, but it also just seems different. The pictures of jon oliver, etc. Ive been getting lemmy posts through my mastadon for the last few days since this started, and decided to finally make a full account here because I wasn't really getting the UI and i am super happy to see activity! gonna stick around <3

Lemmy seems pretty cool, I’ll probably stick around. I think I’m done with Reddit, even deleted Apollo from my phone today.

Already migrated to mastodon, so this was the next step, unfortunately forced on me by reddit's actions

Yes. I imagine old.reddit.com will not last much longer (although we've been saying that for years...).

Probably. It would be nice to be able to select a more compact view - it feels like there's a lot of wasted screen real estate with the current look.

I like this place, and could willingly waste my time in it! --William Shakespeare, As You Like It

Yes, here to stay.

Yep, yes, affirmative.

Yes, but only on the condition that HeGetSus doesn't make an appearance.
