Like Gotye and Kimbra sang: Reddit is “someone that I used to know”! Browsing Lemmy, with some subscribed Kbin magazines, fills that need and I haven’t thought about going and checking out Reddit at all. The one subreddit I still do miss is r/BORU - the (probably fake) stories with updates was great reading! Thanks Lemmy (and Kbin).
I checked Reddit yesterday for the first time in a while and boy do I not miss it. Content is honestly pretty meh these days.
Same here - I check in on Reddit once a day but only to see what a wasteland it is becoming! I moved from other platforms mostly to Reddit over a decade ago and more than happy to make the change again now.
Liftoff is my Lemmy app of choice, and it is great to see the communities grow and change as time moves on.
Dumb question! How do you browse Kbin? Can I use Voyager which I use to browse Lemmy?
It’s a different software, so no. Also I think Kbin doesn’t have an API
I’m still using Reddit for some stuff, but much less than I was. I have no doubt this will fully replace it at some point just as Mastodon has completely replaced Twitter for me.
I can’t use Reddit for most of the day because I don’t want to use their app. So all my energy is going towards the alternatives.
I used Apollo all the time. If they inserted all those ads into Apollo, I’d still be on Reddit. Their app is so horrible that I’ve left.
It is usable on mobiles, that’s what broke for me. Punch in to zoom to “home”, pinch in to upvote, different levels of text.
At home, on my laptop, I use Reddit as before on the old design, but on my cell phone? No chance. So in that area, Mastodon/Lemmy/KBin has taken over my Reddit usage, yes, completely.
Saaaame. I realise how much I was just doom scrolling reddit before without actually engaging in any conversation. Obligatory: Lemmy is so much like reddit used to be!
I honestly don’t miss reddit anymore. For a bit there it seemed like Lemmy was lacking in content. That’s no longer the case. Even better is there is less low effort bullshit to sift through to find said content. I don’t want more recent users to come over. We’ve got the good ones already. Let the rest stay where they are.
Likewise. I used to spend hours on Apollo browsing Reddit. Happily Reddit clean since 1st July.

I still wish there was a LiF.
