    Lemmy is my new home now and it’ll stay that way.

    I’m not going to be drastic on reddit yet, I intend to make a GDPR request to get all my data, but I’'ll immediately unsub from all the subs I’m currently in save for a few very niche that are hard to replace (for now).

    I’ll probably check in every now and then those niche but I’ll definitely stop posting.

      Same here. I’ve already replaced my mobile app with one for lemmy and used these two days to take on the habit coming here instead of reddit. I’ve submitted a request as well. Will delete my account shortly after. I was using reddit to lurk mostly or get angry at trolls/toxic people anyway, it’s just better for me if I just forget about it.

              @Barack_Ollama If you don’t mind the interface you should go to lemmy.world on your browser/Safari . It takes about 1 day to get used to then you will be an expert. the only thing about the website since it’s still new is that when you reply comment or create a post it looks like its loading. give it about 30 seconds and it will post. it looks like its loading but it’s actually posted already. other then that everything is good

                I’m using the browser interface mostly. There are still some issues, though. Like, I got the notification of your comment & the only way I can find to view it in the context of the other comments is to tap on the post name (going to the main post), then scrolling down to find my own comment & your reply. Manageable now, but certainly not manageable if/when Lemmy gets more popular :(.

                It would be great to be able to select the notification to take me to the post page, highlighting the comment from the notification, and only loading the thread that comment is in (basically what happened when I tapped on the notification in the Apollo App).

        Yeah I saw a similar sentiment on another thread that summarizes to: Lemmy being a little hard to figure out might be a feature, not a bug.

        I’m absolutely no elitist, but I think a lot of us can attest to the overall quality of reddit content decreasing over time. I browse r/all and so tired of seeing the constant reposts, many by bots etc etc.

        Remains to be seen how everything will shake out. But Lemmy does seem chill so far, and less vitriol in general

      Idk. The lemmy.ml instance seems practically overrun with CCP/Russian apologists. From literally defending the Tienanmen Sq. massacre to just the tankiest tankies that ever tankied - I’ve definitely seen my fair share of shitheads in the past week here.

    16 year reddit veteran here. I’m gonna stay here, create communities, and submit content in the hopes that others do the same. Honestly, we don’t need even .1% of the users to make a great community, we just need the users we have to be active.

      I went there for a moment to check if any of my subreddits were making polls and the amount of redditors against this strike was depressing. I’m happy that I left this shithole and those braindead people behind.

          Yeah, I was going to say, anyone who’s creating polls on Reddit rn doesn’t know much about how to sample & avoid bias…

            Reminds me of when Elon was making polls on how to run Twitter (although even with a biased sample people still wanted him out as CEO 😂).

        People can have different views. No reason to call the braindead. I plan on using both but to be primarily here.

          i likely do that too but i will never install the official app so i only access it when i need informations about something like programming. So i going to treat it more like an extension of search engines

    I’m gonna go back to reddit long enough to get the rules for important support groups I’m in to make them here on Lemmy. I’ll then post about it in the support groups before leaving Reddit.

    I want to stay on Lemmy because it’s small, cool, and new. Reddit has shown zero repentance for their mistreatment of the community, and the rampant defeatism and pessimism of its users in response to the blackout is nauseating. People who are angry at having their routine distractions disrupted, and are entirely apathetic to things. Not me. I’ll take the extra jump even though it’s hard. I’m tired of tech companies doing whatever they want with impunity because they have a monopoly on their corner of social media.

    I’ll pop in occasionally on reddit, with adblock and without interacting with things just to see if there’s any changes. But when it comes to engaging with content, I’ll bring my attention elsewhere, Lemmy for the time being.

    I’m here and I don’t have plans to go back to reddit. Regardless of what happens, spez showed his hand, and I don’t want to support that kind of bullshit.

    Also: FOSS is awesome, and that’s another reason in my view to stick to Lemmy.

    I’ve removed my Reddit account, including all comments, this morning. So I’m here to say!

    I’m stubborn enough not to.

    Maybe I’ll go to swipe some content to repost and hopefully continue to build the communities up here.

    But just like with my migration from Twitter to Mastodon, there ain’t no way I’m going back now.

    If things keep improving and growing the way they are I’ll be staying. Will probably be inevitable that I’ll end up on Reddit due to a Google search but I hope that as friction decreases higher quality contributors will continue to find a home here.

    I will be using both for now.

    I think the reddit controversy is overblown. As a private company they need to at least break even otherwise they won’t be able to keep it online forever. That being said it sounds like there API pricing is unreasonable for no reason; though I am glad they have made an exception for accessibility focused apps and some moderation tools.

    I am actually brand new to lemmy and the fediverse, it’s something I am very glad exists though. It’s the kind of open source project I think could be very beneficial to a lot of people. From what little I have seen so far it’s very promising with a few rough edges.

    P.s. also hoping they can work out a deal with Reddit Sync, otherwise I could be spending a lot more time here 😉
