How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?
-
Is anyone here so hardcore that they don't even bother with mainstream social media? If its not on Lemmy or Mastodon it must not be important? Anyone that hardcore?
I am Canadian. I quit Reddit and joined Lemmy several months ago. Not because of any issues with Reddit but because of all that american trump 51st state crap.

You don't understand how dead and foreclosed corporate social media appears to me if that surprises.
I don't like feeling like I am a tree being fed into a woodchipper.
I never fit in on corporate social media and after facebook I never found another corporate digital community that structurally felt like home (not just the vibe like Bluesky or Threads which are such false promises it physically hurts).
However the corporate social media platform that has isolated me the most and hurt my vim for life most deeply is Discord and it isn't even close.
I consider myself literally in a battle of life and death fighting the tide of Discord because I am not welcome there, my infodumps and tangents categorically are rejected by the format, the kinds of conversations I want to have are always drowned out and chat topics are so overly specific and narrow there is nothing to discover in the first place.
Edit I watch a lot of Youtube so I guess I can't say yes but I have a peertube creator account and I am in it for the long haul so shrugs it is what it is.

I only use Lemmy unless Internet search results bring me to a reddit post for an answer to a question. I don't comment on reddit anymore or even browse it.

My social media accounts are here, reddit, and Mastodon. Local community subreddit is too useful.

sometimes open old.reddit.com when i need info but otherwise lemmy and i compartmentalize accounts into different languages

I return to Reddit mostly to harvest memes to bring here, or to ask obscure questions that I don't think there's enough of an audience here to get a good answer (I'm still looking for the "The Swaggoraki are swarming!" pic, if any Warhammer meme fans can find it)
on top of these, any call to arms spreading the good word of the fediverse

wrote last edited by [email protected]I only use reddit sometimes when I am searching something on google (i am just adding 'reddit' after keywords). The bonus is that I don't get AI answers when I do this.

Oh I only use Lemmy, I didn't use Reddit in the past anyway, Lemmy is my first actual experience

Reddit for browsing hobby-related stuff, Lemmy if I want to get mad at Israel, seeing as that's every comment section and every single post.
Pretty much this for me. Lemmy made me realize I'm not actually left, and I wouldn't want to be.

Having come from reddit and already boycotting Facebook/Meta I don't feel hardcore using only Lemmy
It meets nearly all of my needs, and if the userbase picks up it will certainly eventually fill those needs as well

Instagram has its grip on me sadly. Tho after the localhost fiasco I switched over to browser Instagram

I have a reddit and IG account but don't look at them. The only social media apps I have on my phone are for lemmy and mastodon.

I’m a Reddit blackout leaver, never going back. Ever.

I have Reddit acounts still so I can go back and delete my posts when they magically re-appear. The only time I see reddit is when a search leads me to them for problem solving. While I'm there, I check to make sure my deleted posts stay deleted.
I have IG and TT, but they're only there so when my wife sends me a link I 'need' to watch I can do so, then I disable the app again.
The only things I consume regularly are Lemmy, Pifed and Pixelfed. Occasionally, I have to trudge into Facebook to communicate with my HOA.

I basically only use Lemmy. Since reddit first tried to restrict their API I've been outta there. Other that that I use Facebook for marketplace because less and less is on Craigslist
