I’m an old lady and I’m trying, it’s a little hard to navigate though, so I would say I spend less time here than I did Reddit, but I am 10 days fully clean from Reddit after a month of weaning. I’ve also started getting up and moving around more throughout my work day and listening to audiobooks and podcasts.
As much as I want to move on to the fediverse, there are occasions where Reddit is better, such as finding specific questions that were answered; it’s like the stack overflow for general life. Now I just browse the cached version if I need to search for something like that.
I just use both. Lemmy for general browsing and Reddit when I want a more specific community that isn’t around yet.
I was never a 3rd party app user really as I just use old.reddit through the browser on my phone so until old.reddit is killed off I’ll probably continue to use both. Once thats gone though I won’t be using Reddit, new UI is truly awful
Both yes and no. Yes the time I used to spend browsing reddit is now spent using lemmy. But the experience is totally different in lemmy. I am a much more active part of the community here whereas I was a lurker at reddit
Not really. I stopped using Reddit and even though I am using lemmy it so far hasn’t been a true replacement. Overall my engagement has gone down hill significantly. I might check lemmy once or twice a day. I used to be on Reddit all day. Ultimately this is better for me overall. Even if I wanted to there just isn’t enough content for lemmy to be a replacement for my Reddit usage.
I’m an Apollo refugee, just don’t want to support what’s inevitably becoming another Facebook type place. Wasn’t sure how well I was gonna be able to switch over until I found the wefwef web app, it’s such a game changer and I’m slowly getting used to how this works
I’ll be honest - as much as I hate u/spez after everything that happened in June, I would probably still be using Reddit if not for them outright killing third party apps. Losing Reddit is Fun was one thing, but I will never downloading the official app.
So yeah! Lemmy here we come. Hopefully the community continues to get livelier as time goes on.
