I used infinity for reddit app to surf reddit, when they started charging for api, app become unusable then i switched to eternity for lemmy and i love it
I still look at Reddit daily. There's insufficient niche content here for it to be a reddit replacement unless you're only into memes, linux, or radical left politics. I'll be happy to make the switch complete when there are communities active enough to replace the ones on reddit.
Dropped Reddit since the beginning of the protest waves. But most importantly, due to this, my screen time plummeted from 10h per day to 2 or 3 hours.
I don't passively use it anymore, but I'll use it as a reference for past posts.
"How to determine undertone lemmy" doesn't really work like "... reddit"
I left and haven't been back, I won't even click on a link from a search engine for them. That's how I roll.

I set on Lemmy.zip during the blackout protest on Reddit, and haven't gone back to it. Don't miss it. Lemmy has grown a lot in the past few months. It's only a fraction of the Reddit userbase size, but steadily filling out and getting better.
I refuse to use their shitty app, but I still use old reddit on the desktop. If they remove old.reddit.com, I will probably not use it at all.
On mobile, I tried a few apps. Lemmy feels very empty and devoid of content and communities. Mastodon is not that interesting. I feel that hacker news is the best alternative right now. Even though it doesn't have that many users, the fact that it has a single "community" helps it feel far less empty, and more focused towards technical people.
I did. I deleted my Reddit account on July 2. I was using Lemmy.world as my main since the middle of June, but lately I've been using this instance because of lemmy.world's constant issues.
I refuse to use the official Reddit app, and while Narwhal is fine and all, it seems like any third-party app's days are numbered, whether they pay up or not. And while spez said Old Reddit isn't going anywhere, he also said he wasn't going to copy Elon.
This one. Second my app stopped working I never went back. Have been an avid daily contributor for a decade.
There are some communities that never transitioned to Lemmy, so I'll be using them untill old.reddit is disabled.

I did
When im desperate for information and all I'm getting are ai generated article results, I will still resort to appending to reddit to my Google searches but otherwise I've deleted everything on reddit and keep up with major current events and bad memes here on lemmy. It really could be a better experience but it's better than... well... endorsing reddits decisions.
I switched and in the end that's all that matters, you're welcome everyone
me
I dropped Reddit, but I'm still not 100% into Lemmy. To put it another way: Reddit was a pinned tab, as is Mastodon, webmail, Qobuz, and a whole bunch of other essentials. Lemmy is unpinned and gets looked at briefly every 2-3 days.
Deleted my two main accounts and I think 3 alts that I could still remember, and haven't been back since. I can't use social media without Sync.
Fuck Reddit!!!
I use a mix myself. I browse lemmy on mobile with Voyager, and Reddit on PC. Now if lemmy had active communities for my personal interests I’d be more interested, but it’s mostly generic news and such right now
+1 left when RIF stopped working
I dropped reddit but I do occasionally check for specific technical stuff anonymously sometimes.
Yep. Deleted my account and all previous comment and post history. Haven't gone back.
I was a lurker there and I actually participate here. I still go there for videos in specific communities, but I no longer scroll ALL.
I left as soon as the news dropped, didn't wait for it to happen.
Not for Lemmy precisely, but I said f it and never gone back(excluding random click). Trying to help AK community I was involved past few years. Moderating a bit on kbin AK magazine, but mostly either spend time on Discord where mix of reddit and non reddit sitting. Mastodon for more serious information and interaction with Lemmy, while Misskey for Arknights fanart/art with hopes that some federates to Kbin magazine(lately # not picking up sadly). Waiting for better mod tools, federation fixes.
I didn't have a choice. I was the victim of a sitewide ban from an overzealous mod...
I maintain my account for reference, but rarely visit unless I'm searching for something unavailable here. All my interactions take place here.
I think if Reddit was really good, 90% of the people here would not have a good reason to use Lemmy. I was on Lemmy before the blackout & it wasn't great; had I plugged it then, many would be reluctant to switch. Now, it is amazing, and Reddit ensured that Lemmy got a nice influx of users to make that happen :)
Stopped using Reddit when Infinity died
Deleted my reddit account a while ago. Don't really use lemmy as much as I used to use reddit, but I see that as a good thing. the quality of the use I get is a lot better here too.
Fuck em.
