How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?
-
unfortunately reddit still has way more stuff on it. so i read reddit. that said, I do not contribute to reddit because there is just no fucking point.
A lot of ignorant people there. I can only hope a lot of it is explainable by bots..

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 nearly exclusively use Lemmy over Reddit, mastadon over xitter and Facebook, pixelfed over Instagram, ("nearly" because I still have the accounts, in case someone needs to contact me there). Although Lemmy is the only one I use frequently.
I still use YouTube and tiktok instead of peertube and loops though. They're just not big enough to host the content I'm interested in.

Only decentralized open source social media for me

I was more or less exclusively lemmy for a good year or so, up until several months ago.
I would've logged into reddit maybe 3 or 4 times in the last year.
Sadly, I have to admit that browsing reddit with redlib or something is better than lemmy.
Lemmys main virtue is that its not reddit.
There's less content here, and it really is an echo chamber.

i sometimes use bsky, but other than that, just lemmy.

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)

wrote last edited by [email protected]I exclusively use Lemmy to complain when my new Reddit account gets shadowbanned again. The issue is that the communities here simply are not big enough. I go on the Lemmy alternatives of the subreddits I visit often and there are like 4 posts over the course of multiple years

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.

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
