How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?

[robust_mirror@aussie.zone]

Never considered it hardcore but yes Lemmy is my only social media unless you count youtube.

[muaddib@sopuli.xyz]

I use Discord and Lemmy, no Reddit outside of reading threads on how to do something in a game

[kokesh@lemmy.world]

I got banned on reddit for not caving up with my subreddits and moved here permanently. I left a long time before they banned me, but came back to check on the state of my stuff from time to time. And now I refuse to open any link pointing to reddit.

[wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works]

Same, and I only use discord for d&d, though I don't do Reddit at all.

[a_union_of_kobolds@lemmy.world]

Literally me. I only got back on Facebook to get in touch with clients. I have lemmy and email, i don't need much else.

[3dcandy@lemmy.world]

Never used Reddit so go figure

[madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Lemmy is the only "social media" (is it even considered social media?) that I have an account with.

I do lurk reddit's front page, but only because stuff gets posted there faster.

[kenoh@feddit.online]

The dream is to be off them completely, but I view (but do not engage with) a weekly top posts of a few reddit communities at the end of the week. YouTube has its claws in me and I look forward to trading that out.

I'm enjoying Bluesky too, but yeah, reddit sucks so much since the API changes. When was that?

I don't even remember anymore.

Look, we debated all this a decade ago. Can venture funded social media stay good? Now we know! Back then, the alternatives were more difficult to find and use. Lemmy and mastodon are here, and they're so easy. It's great. Keep building.

[bloomcole@lemmy.world]

Don't miss being banned from Reddit, don't need the social media aspect.
I do still scroll trough some subs bcs they have interesting ones which don't exist here or have little content since Lemmy is tiny.
It will get better when it grows but at the same time worse since governments don't like uncontroled social media and there will be influence if it reaches a substantial audience.
As they did with Facebook, Reddit and others.

reddit? never heard of her

[bluewing@lemmy.world]

Until Lemmy can offer me the active specialized subs I use reddit for, it's pretty hard to drop it completely.

[schmalls@lemmy.world]

Lemmy vs reddit I am 95%. I only go back to reddit for live episode discussions for Saturday Night Live or if it shows up in search results for something I need to know.

[shuilishu@lemmynsfw.com]

I still have a reddit account for viewing links. But I haven't posted in a long time.

[confused_emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I deleted my Reddit account and switched to Lemmy after the API stuff. I kinda regret deleting my account because it wasn’t until after that I learned about the apps that would scrub your comment history, but Reddit has a tendency to roll those back anyway.

I still sometimes end up on a Reddit thread when searching for some technical issue, but I generally try to browse other forums for solutions first if possible.

ETA: all other social media stuff like Instagram and Facebook I deleted around the time of Trump’s first election. Just got sick of the constant stream of bullshit.

[jjjalljs@ttrpg.network]

I don't use reddit aside from reading search results. I never post and never explicitly seek it out.

I deleted Twitter years ago. I never used Facebook or Instagram or tiktok. That shit's bad for you.

It's annoying that some places will make announcements only on shitty platforms. None of my friends are this "hardcore" , so sometimes I find out about stuff like a concert or protest or whatever because one of them sees it on Instagram

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I use it for porn sometimes but thats it

[fundmecfsresearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I had my first 3 months or so where I used both reddit and lemmy, then eventually I switched mainly to lemmy and only used reddit from a privacy frontend where I can’t interact, and then a month or so later I just fully ditched reddit.

I think I’ve been off reddit for a full year now. (Don’t be fooled by my account age, this ain’t my first account).

[mrslt@lemmy.world]

Lemmy has replaced reddit entirely for me. I only go on reddit every once in a while, just to see how bad it's gotten.

[mineralfellow@lemmy.world]

I mainly use Lemmy. Reddit for search results, haven’t seen the home page in years. Never had Twitter or Instagram or TikTok. Still watch a lot of YouTube, mostly for either chess content or movie reviews, sometimes tutorials or professional lectures. Use Facebook for talking to exactly two friends.

Logged into Facebook the other day and saw a friend request. The name was familiar, but not exactly, so I checked the profile. Soon realized he was my ex-girlfriend.
