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

[oberyn@lemmy.world]

Browse reddit but only have lemmy account

Besides that , my only other socials (bluesky|tumblr)

[garretble@lemmy.world]

Lemmy
Mastodon
Bluesky

These are my main social media platforms now.

I might hit a Reddit link here or there because occasionally the information I need is posted there (that I found from a web search). But I don't browse that site ever any more.

Deleted Twitter because of elon.
Deleted Facebook after Cambridge Analytica.
Never had Instagram (will never download a Meta app at this point).

Used to use RiF, stopped when the api bullshit went down and all I use are lemmy and Facebook now.

[knexcar@lemmy.world]

Doesn’t sound too different from Lemmy, except most users are radical left AND radical Linux users.

[coolkat@slrpnk.net]

Lemmy only. Actually, I just can't stand the corpoverse, it's litterally painful for me to browse. The only exception so far is instagram because it's dopamine gold and you can discover a lot of things, but this is less and less true. And with voyager integrating pixelfed in upcoming updates... well i'll just migrate

Honestly, since I found Lemmy, I mostly ignore (or don't even see) Reddit news. Rarely it still shows up when I search things, but I just view those without logging in and don't vote / comment.

[knexcar@lemmy.world]

Because there are other things to talk about, and it’s depressing and not something the average citizen can really control on their own.

I really don’t care about whatever new crime against humanity they’re doing next, I just want to see Cities: Skylines content, or at least some mildly interesting discussions.

[hihi24522@lemm.ee]

The only social media I really use is Lemmy. I have instagram strictly because that’s where my sibling’s meme group chat is and they don’t want to move. I don’t use it for anything else.

[blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works]

Occasionally I'll hit up a reddit result if I'm doing a search looking for an answer to a specific question. But I never browse it since the 3rd party apps stopped working.

[raffster@lemmy.world]

Tildes. Now that i haven't heard in some time. That's still around then?

[supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz]

lol what a cute thing to say in 2025

[atlien51@lemm.ee]

LEMMY needs to market itself :DD

[chunkyrice@lemmy.world]

Yes, only the third party apps that you know of so far.

[magnum@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I'm only on Lemmy and deleted my reddit accounts

[tilgare@lemmy.world]

Same same. I moved to Firefox for Android back then and use ublock to hide their nags forcing you to use their app. And of course the ads they were trying to shove down our throats by killing third party apps. It's still a great repository of knowledge that I'll search via Google, but otherwise I browse for fun here.

[tomenzgg@midwest.social]

I realized sometime in the last year that Lemmy provided me all the usual community groups I needed and actually content I wanted to read (I never really used Reddit to just browse, outside of the sub.s I'd joined).

And I've been using Mastodon since, like 2020 or something (never was a fan of Twitter, though).

Also stopped using Facebook though that's probably more due to burnout and falling out of touch with a lot of the people in my life. Facebook really did make navigating socializing and keeping in touch both easier and less energy intensive and it is, for me, a good example of how social media can be good rather than this nebulous Garbage that people seem to emotionally brand such a large classification as. Shame about it being owned by one of the worst human beings (but it was also always going to end up as shit – in the end –, so long as owned by a corporation); since I'd already dropped in using it, I just opted to stay stopped.

Still use YouTube as there isn't a real viable alternative yet; itching for the day they're is.

And still use Tumblr, as most of those I socialize with are on there; though it has built up plenty of its own enshittification over the last few years. If I ever finish my Fediverse clone of it, that's where I'll be sprinting to.

[neuromorph@lemm.ee]

only use lemmy. This is like my 6th account, and instance hop. Definitely a system that works better for me.

new to lemmy. what is the significance of instance hopping or multiple accounts on this platform?

[rodneylives@lemmy.world]

Same here. Nothing could convince me to go back to Reddit or Twitter at this point.

[tyler@programming.dev]

Social media has nothing to do with being social. People were social on websites long before “social media” existed. Calling forums “social media” is just conflating forums (which have no requirement of having any sort of algorithmic popularity or ranking) with those that do, like Facebook.

Your description of Reddit is literally a description of a forum. For the past 40 years it’s been that way.

[neuromorph@lemm.ee]

nly go to reddit when it comes up on a google search, all my posts and comments are replaced and deleted

if your posts get deleted, you may have a shadowbanned account.
