    It’s not really as simple as leaving reddit. I have deleted my reddit info, but haven’t deleted my account. I still post on reddit sometimes, because posting a question on lemmy gets almost no responses. I use one of the Redlib hosters when just viewing reddit (eg if I click on a link.) A slow transition, I hope Lemmy gets more popular.

    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 am sad about RIF. It blocked all the ads, didn’t show all the shitty awards, was super clean, the video player worked well and the mod tools were awesome.

        On a side note, its sad demise led me to Lemmy, so all is well.

    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

      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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    I’m about 90% Lemmy, 9% Reddit, 1% Tribel right now.

    As soon as Lemmy has enough people and communities to keep me always reading something new that interests me, I’ll be 100%. I’ve already abandoned subreddits that I modded. There’s little to keep me going back.
