…how many of you will stay? Personally, I wiped my Reddit history and deleted my account, so I’m definitely here to stay. I can see, however, that a number of people see Lemmy more as a distraction until the blackout is over. I wonder what that number would be.
I’ve been a Redditor for 12+ years, but I will definitely keep hanging out here and I’ll keep being active. The community here right now reminds me a lot of the good things of early Reddit, and I like that.
Yeah bring here certainly doesn’t feel like 2023
I think I will stay, I’m a 15 year redditor, I’m really pissed at the management. They’ve never been great. The community has been doing all the work for so long, posting, commenting, moderating, developping apps and tools. And these guy think they are better? They are even saying it will calm down.
Remove this guy as CEO, cancel this API nonsense and we will see.
But in the meantime. I’m here and the more time passes. The more comfy I get.
ya right
like i have no social media loyalty. reddit was a habit. a time waster. the only thing that sucks about moving away from reddit is im not sure how to find old posts and shit here but im sure either i or someone much smarter will figure it out. in the end, i just want more places to go on the net
maybe im old, but i wax nostalgic for the forum days. and this feels like it
Same, and I’m hyped for something new and better. This absolutely reminds me of early Reddit and I’m totally here for it.
It’s open source so anyone can contribute. With how much feedback everyone is giving, hopefully that means things will continue to get better.
I became a Redditor during the Digg exodus… Now I’ll become a Lemming during the Reddit exodus.
You probably just started something with the Lemming thing.
We definitely have to stop calling communities subreddits though.
Sublemmy? Slemmy?
What about calling them “communities”?
Too many syllables
I’ve been using sublem
Kbin calls them magazines
meh, not my favorite
Same my dude. I wasn’t sure about this at first, but I have 2 12 year old accounts and am thinking of seeing if I can cash in on them somehow.
I joined up in '06 but officially committed during the Digg Migration. Lemmy was been a much welcome refresher to the old days of Reddit.
Reddit has been the third party apps for me for years, so shutting those down means I’m gone for good.
I’m mostly a lurker, but certainly plan to stay. I probably will use Reddit occasionally, but that usage will be significantly reduced and limited to desktop use only as I have no interest in installing the official Reddit app. Too many web searches lead back to Reddit posts for me to drop Reddit completely.
Definitely here to stay. Even deleted app from my phone and put a bookmark to lemmy where the app used to be. Now I access lemmy as much as I used to Reddit purely because of muscle memory / force of habit and don’t miss Reddit one bit.
There are apps for Lemmy! I’m finding the app much nicer to use on my phone than accessing lemmy thru a browser, which is what I’m guessing you’re doing based on your description of using a “shortcut.”
Thanks for this comment. Was considering programming my own app though (especially in the spirit of the latest news), so if I find any issues with the android version I might still go through with that
Nah man what Reddit is doing is ridiculous. I’m staying with Lemmy. I just hope the user base can grow.
The lemmyverse is getting better everyday! No reason to go back
Staying here. Rediscovered what I liked about Reddit in the earlier days - actually engaging. I don’t think I’ve commented, posted, or even upvoted on reddit in like a year. It just seemed pointless and it was just a scroll and read machine. This is much more fun
This is exactly it. Beyond a couple very niche subs, I felt no desire to interact at all. It had turned into howling into the void of bots and memes. This feels like legitimate engagement with actual humans…or passable facsimiles.
I’ll take ‘passable fascimile’ as a compliment! The real niche subs are hard to reproduce. I started a Nebula one, but that subreddit was only ~5k ppl with comment threads maybe 100 long, so probably will be hard to reproduce here
I’m planning on staying, interacting here is a lot more fun than Reddit in my opinion.
Now that I’ve managed to hook up Mastadon to here and pull tweets from twitter, I think i’m pretty firmly here rather than there. There’s one community I’ll be sad to not interact with on the regular, but I’ll manage.
Wait… Can you log in here with a mastodon account? I knew you could reply to comments and follow from mastodon, but the experience is pretty clunky.
can’t log on from mastodon to here, but you can do that other thing.
Ah fair, so it’s the way I thought. Shame, it would be a great feature (not sure if it’s possible to implement though).
Not going back. Here to stay for sure. No matter what.
I’m definitely staying. I know there’s gonna be a dip in users, I just hope enough stay that we can build communities.
I share the same fear, but I plan to stay I really enjoy lemmy, more than I have reddit in the last year or so. The atmosphere is great, and I feel more of a connection with the people and the community.
I’m staying. This may not be the Big Thing, but in my eyes, it’s a worthy contender.
Reddit simply isn’t anymore, if it ever truly was.
The reaction from spez has moved me from “just don’t go back” to “learn enough about scripts to run that salt the earth thing I saw from GitHub.”
Currently in the process of saving off my saved content. After that, I haven’t decided if I want to delete my account. Will probably stay off mobile, and give Lemmy/kbin/squabbles/tildes/Spyke some time to mature before dropping reddit entirely.
