I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
I deleted my reddit apps and decided to not use it anymore, so yeah, I am only on Lemmy now using it on desktop and on phone I use jerboa for lemmy
Same. Deleted accounts, uninstalled app, installed Jerboa, and replaced the bookmark with my instance.
Same, while I do feel Lemmy and Jerboa need some work, I feel like they are enough there already to make it work. In a lot of ways it feels better than reddit, idk why
For me, it’s the community. I’ve only had pleasant exchanges around here, everyone seems approchable, when on Reddit it’s quite hit-and-miss.
I deleted the Reddit app from my phone just to avoid opening it out of force of habit, and I thought it’s take some self-convincing to stay on Lemmy; but the reality is, 2 weeks in, I don’t miss Reddit at all in the end. I was mostly using it for scrolling through interesting content I’m subscribed to, and so far Lemmy does this just as well.
Yeah, same. I’m on VLemmy and just use the web app on my iPhone. Works quite well!
But yeah no more Reddit and I couldn’t be happier. There’s of course not as much content. But I’m having a great time using Mastodon and Lemmy to fill my content craving. Finding myself checking out the Apple News app more as well.
I’m content but excited to see the growth of my Fediverse favorites.
Shoutout to mas.to and my boy @rodti@mas.to 🙌
I’ve been checking out Apple News more than before too! It’s been nice, quality content.
I tried Mastodon when Elon started plastering Twitter’s walls with fecal matter (!!), but it didn’t catch my interest much; but it had been years already at that point that I had been gradually disinterested in Twitter, and I think that’s probably why. I didn’t feel there was anything wrong with Mastodon, it just wasn’t my thing.
But I was addicted to Reddit as heck, and it’s nuts how easy it’s been to move on from it!
Same here. I didn’t delete my history and account but for now I am happy here. For me Lemmy reached the critical mass already and as a result I don’t miss Reddit one bit.
Same here. Deleted my Reddit up and I am switching between the Memmy and Mlem apps on ios with Testflight. I am enjoying the smaller communities since it feels safer to participate than it ever did on Reddit.
