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

[strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I use facebook marketplace and youtube but that's it when it comes to corpo social media

[gobbel2000@programming.dev]

Only using Lemmy. R***it has abundantly convinced me to never look back there.

[zwrt@lemmy.sdf.org]

Is that really considered hardcore?

I follow some local news and i have a list of video content creators i download with a script but other then that its just the Lemmy verse for me.

[cmoney@lemmy.world]

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.

[absgeeknz@lemmy.nz]

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

[catdogl0ver@lemmy.world]

I only use lemmy now although I don't know understand what is a local user.

[selkiesidhe@lemm.ee]

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)

[mangionedontmiss@lemmy.ca]

always check sources. always follow the money.

[gigasser@lemmy.world]

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.

Mf coming in with the receipts, that's good usage

[archmageazor@lemmy.world]

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

[3may@lemmy.world]

same. just point out the American Revolution and you are gone.

[ponygirl42@lemmy.wtf]

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.

[moseschrute@lemmy.ml]

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.

[sterile_technique@lemmy.world]

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.

[kerrigan778@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

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

[w3dd1e@lemmy.zip]

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.

[bonesofthemoon@lemmy.world]

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.

[nerrad@lemmy.world]

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.
