This seems like a good place so far tbh

I completely left Reddit. A week before Apollo shut down I slowly started to leave subreddits and cleaned my post and comments. The moment Apollo stopped working, Reddit was dead to me either. Lemmy is now my new home.
Same, but after RiF. Reddit became a posterchild for the corporate greed so fuck them.
I’m not on “Lenny” terms yet, I still refer to him as “Leonard”.
As for Lemmy, it’s almost completely replaced Reddit for me. Except for the times I search for something and the best result is a Reddit thread from 3 years ago
Lenny! Memento is such a fkn good film
This is my alternative. Still getting used to it. Hi everyone!
I think a lot of us are still getting accustomed to Lemmy and finding our flow. For me, personally, the move exposed a bunch of new communities and topics I didn’t know / or forgot I was interested in and am now excited to be a part of!
Trying to. This is a FANTASTIC tool to find new “subreddits” on Lemmy: https://sub.rehab/
Already did. Purged all my Reddit bookmarks and account.
Generally: You have to be the change you want to see in the world. If you want to change others, change yourself first. I don’t think the mindset “I need to reach that big number of people over there so I’ll just be over there as well to teach them” works, or leads to the goal you want. Even though it seems reasonable at first glance. This mindset just leads to you giving the other people AND yourself more reason to never leave from there. Which is contrary to what you want. If you want others to switch to better alternatives, move yourself first, help grow the alternatives, and they will sooner or later also become interested in joining. Things like the latest Reddit and Twitter fiascos also show that no huge proprietary social media platform rules forever. The time to change to better alternatives has never been better than now.
The only time I’d use Reddit now is if I had a specific question about a specific topic that’s only covered there.
As far as browsing for fun goes it’s Lemmy all the way, it’s so much nicer than Reddit.
No, I’m replacing it with Lemmy.
Yup, I bailed on Reddit a couple months ago and just discovered lemm.ee. So far, so good.
I’m trying to, but finding a good client and trying to find replacement communities isn’t as straight forward as Reddit was.
I’ll be spending more time on here since I got a random 3 day ban without a reason. This has been happening every few months.
Welcome!
For clients, https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/ has a good list.
For communities, you can use https://lemmyverse.net/communities
That list is too long. I just want to party, not make decisions about social media client 🤷♂️
Are you Android or iOS?
iOS. I’m currently using voyager, because I like to support PWAs, but I’m willing to try an app if it’s better.
Voyager is on App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/voyager-for-lemmy/id6451429762
Otherwise Memmy is a good choice: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/memmy-for-lemmy/id6450204299
I am not I’ve found it - its nice to have a real “FRONT PAGE” again.
No bots reposting for Karma, no ads.
just people on a forum - like how reddit used to be.
Im so happy I found this place
I still dip in to Reddit, but about 75% less than before. As more Lemmy content becomes available, I expect that to further diminish.
Who is Lenny?
I did
I got suspended from Reddit for saying riot police should quit their jobs after Roe v Wade, so then I was just lurking. Eventually Relay for Reddit went subscription based and I wasn’t about to pay for the ability to lurk. So yes.
I do miss the vibrant queer communities from Reddit. There were so many. Lemmy’s queer communities seem quite inactive.
Yes. My username says it all. Late to the party because the fortress of Lemmy has been extremely difficult & discouraging to scale but today I finally did it.
