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’m all-in on Lemmy and hope you all will stick around too. I blew away my Reddit account and all my post history today.

i’v been here less than 24 hours and am already making preparations to abandon my reddit account

I’ve already let Jerboa take Boost’s place on my app bar, but I’m sure I’ll keep using Reddit too until Boost ceases to function.

For me Jerboa just isn’t there yet in terms of functionality, but I’m hoping it’ll get there soon!

I’m happy to move to a tighter community with more engagement and honestly I like that the fediverse has a higher bar to entry. Reddit discussions used to provide answers, but the quality of dialog there has regressed to the mean.

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!

There’s literally not anything left on reddit that I wish to see anymore. It’s all controlled and bloated and designed to keep you addicted and angry. I’ve been increasingly bored and annoyed with the platform for a while, so this made the transition to lemmy even easier. Honestly, a lot of people are better off without it.

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 😉

Gonna stick with Lemmy, but monitor Reddit’s activity.

I expect a lot of subreddits will be left indefinitely closed as well, which the admins are probably going to take over forcefully.

Lemmy is pretty nice to use so far.

I haven’t deleted anything, but honestly I haven’t felt any desire to go back either.

Deleted all my comments and reddit accounts. Out of curiosity I browsed the front page. Literally nothing worth scrolling for. Inflammatory, rage bait, misleading headlines, repost bots, same content spammed to different subreddits. These blackout was just what I needed to break my dependence on it. Don’t see no point in going back.

I will probably use reddit as information archive but Lemmy as my primary forum and probably migrating my small subreddit

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.
