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 stopped using reddit when they wouldn't allow 3rd parts apps, also stopped using twitter when Elon changed it x. I still use facebook for friends, family, coworkers and occasionally marketplace.

I only use Reddit when it comes up in a search result. Otherwise it is Lemmy all the way

I still browse reddit but I was banned a long while ago. Guess I thumbed up too many Luigi posts lol
I go here to post (just wish I could find similar threads/subreddit or whatever. I miss posting on niche subjects)

A lot of ignorant people there. I can only hope a lot of it is explainable by bots..
always check sources. always follow the money.

Reddit isn’t social media, YouTube isn’t social media. People started branding anything with a comment thread as social media and it’s nonsensical. Criteria for social media: 1. Must allow following any user 2. Users must not be anonymous 3. Must be able to interact with, chat, send messages to, etc. any user. 4. All of the above must be the main point of the site.
Reddit is a forum of forums. The point is aggregated news feed for different forums. User to user social interaction is not the main point, and the user to user interaction that occurs is forum interaction, which existed decades before social media.
YouTube is a video sharing site. It has comment sections just like any news site.
If YouTube is social media then literally any news site is social media. If Reddit is social media then every forum on the planet is social media. Neither of those things make sense, therefore they’re not social media.
Sorry I just absolutely hate that everyone refers to anything with a comment section as social media now. It completely devalues the word and makes it meaningless.
I think what you're talking about about are social "networking" sites, vs social "media". You could also say that it's a spectrum, some sites are more social media and others more networking.

I stopped using Reddit when I got permabanned for speaking against fascism.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Just lemmy for some years now. I do miss the Reddit of the olden days though. You know, when there was still some Aaron Schwartz in it.
Back in the day I could go online and ask every goddamn question and a real person would give me an answer. There was this treasure trove of knowledge and opinions. Lemmy is sadly not quite there yet, but the memes are spicy and I like those nice socks you computer people wear.
I dream of the day, when somebody shuts down the internet. Because I know, all you sock wearing and Linux wielding Weirdos will get your shit running again the fastest.

I’m working on a Lemmy client and I occasionally browse main stream social media to check the robustness of my app vs theirs. But I find myself enjoying mainstream less and less as I settle more into Lemmy.

true, even if you dint deleted, reddit wouldve been banning you randomly anyways.
Oh I'd have been banned as fuck with all the shit that's happened since then. Pro Luigi? Ban. Anti-genocide? Ban. Pointing out that Trump has made himself a valid military target to our own military by making himself a domestic enemy to our constitution? Ban.
I'd have found my way here sooner or later.

Yes? But I don't think I'm hardcore, I started using Lemmy when I stopped using reddit.

I use Lemmy primarily. I try not to use Reddit, Meta, TikTok or anything else as much as I can if there is a Fediverse option.
Unfortunately, there are a few things you have to use that stuff for:
-
Facebook Marketplace has completely replaced Craigslist in my area.
-
Neighborhood apps like NextDoor, even if there are other options, doesn’t matter if your neighbors don’t use it.
-
Reddit for specific niche forums. If the community is active on Lemmy, I post questions here first but in some case I need an answer for something that doesn’t exist in the Fediverse yet.

I still have Facebook because of real life friends but otherwise I am on the fediverse and Bluesky only. I even use Maven. I have never gotten into Snapchat or Tiktok at all, and I dumped Instagram and Twitter a while back.
I would love to not be on Facebook but sometimes if someone commits a really trashy crime in the news and I look them up and their page is full of crazy it's pretty delicious. Like a Southern Gothic novel.

There is plenty to engage with here. I don't miss Reddit, other than a couple of local groups that have no fedi equivalents, yet. But not enough to go back.

I only use Lemmy for browsing but I still search “(product name) Reddit” for reviews of appliances in addition to free consumer reports access through my library. It still seems like the best way to get real user feedback despite reddits best efforts to sell out.

I'm trying to leave #Meta apps for the #Fediverse. However, It is not easy because Most of my contacts are there and there is not so much local discussion here
