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

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.
have done it in july 3rd because of the Reddit protests
shit new comments found this nvm im switching back to active
Trying to. This is a FANTASTIC tool to find new “subreddits” on Lemmy: https://sub.rehab/
Who is Lenny?
I did
I still dip in to Reddit, but about 75% less than before. As more Lemmy content becomes available, I expect that to further diminish.
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!
No, I’m replacing it with Lemmy.
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.
Here’s the thing. Reddit had me hooked on it like no other until the API fuck up. Pretty much dropped it on it the spot.
After the first week it dawned on me how much time I was spending there.
So while I setup here, much less time is being spent online overall. But the interaction has jumped up immensely.
My garden is looking better and I’m hitting the gym much more often.
