Are you committed to make Lemmy thrive? Do you keep posting your discussions on Reddit?

    I’m never going back to corporate social media. If it’s not FOSS and available to self host reasonably, I’m not interested anymore.

    So that means, lemmy and others like it only from now on for me. Already close to 1k posts made.

    Haven’t been to Reddit since the API changes last summer. I’m trying my best to be a good Lemmite but I don’t post enough OC, so that’s my bad

    Left reddit as soon as the blackout happened, was actually impressed at myself being able to stay off it. Haven’t been back except when I google a question, and the answer is on an old reddit thread (I do not reply or comment).

    My opinion is Lemmy needs more communities and more DAUs. Have been trying to tell people why they should switch but I’m not techy, my friends are not techy and they just don’t care about data/ownership etc. I’m hoping reddit shits the bed further so more laypeople jump ship.

    Same goes for mastodon which needs more content although I only previously used twitter on days with big events (oscars, grammys, f1 race days etc).

      i hate that we are here stuck trying to convince laypeople when we used to be the ones to shape the internet. now its just coporations making us ruin it 9-5 every day, for laymen to just use the shittiest option because its the one with the biggest marketing budget.

    I’m Lemmy 99%. Can’t do 100% because sometimes there isn’t an equivalent community on Lemmy so I have no choice but to use Reddit.

        If it’s a topic I’m super passionate about & there’s no community on Lemmy then sure. But I’m not going to start a new Lemmy community every time I want to post a random dog photo or whatever.

    I’m sometimes checking reddit now, because Lemmy is mostly memes. Where are the discussions? Why aren’t they taking place?

    But obviously not using their shitty app. Just browser with adblocking.

      After Apollo went down, made me realize how much unnecessary screen time I was wasting my life on. The smaller size and scope of the fediverse is probably better for my mental health than Twitter/Reddit were

    Only time I use reddit is if I Google something and it leads to a reddit thread. I hope more people will use Lemmy so when I Google stuff Lemmy comes up first. Fuck reddit I hope their servers get attacked

      I browse Reddit anonymously nowadays on a web browser. I still absolutely hate the experience. It lags way too much, videos suddenly become “no longer available”, spend enough time and it will yell at you again for getting the app as if it didn’t when you first opened the site (at least it’s not as insistive as Instagram, an even worse website), that new logo reeks of Discord and Android having a baby, and not to mention, comments with a negative karma score are automatically hidden for whatever reason.

      I only continue browsing that site to catch up with some communities with no real equivalent on Lemmy.
