Lemmy is my new home now and it’ll stay that way.
I’m not going to be drastic on reddit yet, I intend to make a GDPR request to get all my data, but I’'ll immediately unsub from all the subs I’m currently in save for a few very niche that are hard to replace (for now).
I’ll probably check in every now and then those niche but I’ll definitely stop posting.
Same here. I’ve already replaced my mobile app with one for lemmy and used these two days to take on the habit coming here instead of reddit. I’ve submitted a request as well. Will delete my account shortly after. I was using reddit to lurk mostly or get angry at trolls/toxic people anyway, it’s just better for me if I just forget about it.
What app are you using for Lemmy?
Upvotes and upvote button doesn’t seem to work correctly, yea exactly!
Nah reddit can fuck itself. I don’t want to support them.
I’ll still use Lemmy. The people here are way nicer.

Yeah I saw a similar sentiment on another thread that summarizes to: Lemmy being a little hard to figure out might be a feature, not a bug.
I’m absolutely no elitist, but I think a lot of us can attest to the overall quality of reddit content decreasing over time. I browse r/all and so tired of seeing the constant reposts, many by bots etc etc.
Remains to be seen how everything will shake out. But Lemmy does seem chill so far, and less vitriol in general
Idk. The lemmy.ml instance seems practically overrun with CCP/Russian apologists. From literally defending the Tienanmen Sq. massacre to just the tankiest tankies that ever tankied - I’ve definitely seen my fair share of shitheads in the past week here.
If you’re not happy with your instance, use a different instance.
I’m gonna go back to reddit long enough to get the rules for important support groups I’m in to make them here on Lemmy. I’ll then post about it in the support groups before leaving Reddit.
Hey could you pick me up a coulpe memes while your there?
Thnx
I gotcha fam.
What kinda memes? I’ve got 5 year’s worth in my Google drive.
Friend Ill take anything you got. If you want to just post stuff that would be cool.
Hell ye. Where you want them posted?
I think memes@lemmy.ml is good! I’m still finding meme communities!
Was trying the same but instead grab some nice content that I once saved… But none was available yet. Once that is done, I will delete my Reddit account
I’m sticking to lemmy at this point because of the principal.
I may only be one person out of millions, but I’m not giving reddit a lick of traffic unless Spez publicly acknowledges and apologizes to the dev for the false accusations, and to it’s communities.
I figure, if my time on reddit is a just drop in the bucket, people should have no room to be angry with me if I leave reddit permanently. If the user base is so unimportant, reddit shouldn’t miss us when we go. If the CEO is going to imply that people will get attacked by us for wearing reddit merch, then I want NOTHING to do with that platform.
People are hilarious if they think that reddit will suddenly stop it’s shenanigans at removing 3rd party apps. When they go public, you can probably kiss most of your favourite content goodbye.
It’s ironic too, because certain specific communities who are angry at the blackout will probably truly lose free speech when reddit goes public. Everything will likely have to be very suitable to advertisers and whoever has a stake in ownership.
I agree. Reddit has been pushing me away since they did away with the one-time purchase premium account I had, then started implementing loads of ads into everything. Good riddance.
16 year reddit veteran here. I’m gonna stay here, create communities, and submit content in the hopes that others do the same. Honestly, we don’t need even .1% of the users to make a great community, we just need the users we have to be active.
Will remain here, CEO has shown how much of a scum he is.
Staying away from Reddit for sure. The people make Reddit, not the corporation. I go where my people are.
I’m not going back. I needed a kick in the pants and I got it. Just want to edit all my posts/comments and get my saved posts/comments from 10+yrs of research.
I’m a mod of a moderately sized subreddit (~15k) with lots of people who use Reddit only to interact with that community. We’ve been trying to disseminate information about our official Lemmy, Kbin and Raddle alternatives, but adoption has been slow to nonexistent. So I’m probably going to stick around in both, if for no other reason that to moderate said subreddit.
I’m having the opposite feeling. I also mod a sub of that size. The thought has crossed my mind to make that community here, sticky a thread in the sub, turn off automod, sign out, and let nature do the rest.
Edit: community made. Any users from, living in, or in some way attached to Alabama, feel free to find Sweet Home Alabama !alabama
I will make lemmy my new home. Will uninstall reddit as I did with twitter.
Gonna stick with Lemmy, but monitor Reddit’s activity.
I expect a lot of subreddits will be left indefinitely closed as well, which the admins are probably going to take over forcefully.
Lemmy is pretty nice to use so far.
I’ll be using both but I hope the strike goes on longer. Reddit mods have no idea how to strike or what a strike entails. Imagine if ghandi broke his hunger strike because he got hungry.
What’s Reddit
Ancient scrolls suggest it was kinda like Lemmy until executives decided to grab a shovel and Digg themselves a grave.
I’m staying; I may go and check in on my old subreddits periodically, but my new home is here.
I did that a bit ago. Most were still dark.
I’m staying here. I can’t use a site that treats its community like that
