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.

This is my alternative. Still getting used to it. Hi everyone!

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 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

Yup, I bailed on Reddit a couple months ago and just discovered lemm.ee. So far, so good.

Starting the process… now!

Trying to. This is a FANTASTIC tool to find new “subreddits” on Lemmy: https://sub.rehab/

have done it in july 3rd because of the Reddit protests

Yep, easiest choice ever and the tech behind Lemmy and activity pub is so cool

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.

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.

No, I’m replacing it with Lemmy.

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.

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.
