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

[rhynoplaz@lemmy.world]

I guess I'm hardcore now.

[redditisdeddit@lemmy.world]

at this point I only use Lenny and Reddit is just something that comes up in search results

[quilotoa@lemmy.ca]

I peek into Reddit when I have a specific need. They have some good miscellaneous information posts. Otherwise, I'm here.

[stovetop@lemmy.world]

Admittedly I can't see why it's that surprising, the format is almost a carbon copy of Reddit.

When I think of old forums, I think of the chronological-only format with no voting. There is a top post in a thread, and all replies that follow are a single chain of chronological posts. No nested threads of parent/child comments that help keep conversations more organized, and no upvoting/downvoting which affect the sort criteria.

Not to mention older forums are usually directly admin-managed throughout, as in not just anyone is able to start a subforum/community on their own for a given interest within a site that they then moderate and can appoint their own co-moderators for. There's a site admin or admins, and maybe a group of admin-appointed moderators who help manage the entire thing.

boost probably does too, but boost for lemmy is superior. that's what I use

[tudsamfa@lemmy.world]

Discord, YouTube and Twitch. Even if I don't count 1 because I don't really build any online presence, all 3 together probably count as having mainstream social media no matter how strict the definition.

[shanmugha@lemmy.world]

Reddit stopped being mainstream for me since the API bullshit, so... hardcore I am, guess I

[illi@sh.itjust.works]

It's not that I try to ne hardcore. Reddit was alright, but I felt subconciously it is going to shit for some time. But I liked the format, so I stayed. The API fiasco just showed the really bad face of it (mainly how it was handled) and made an opportunity for people to talk more about alternatives. Sure, Lemmy doesn't have as much stuff as Reddit, especially for more niche topics but I enjoy my stay much more.

I peeked in a couple of times but not for long.

[mitm0@lemmy.world]

I am so hardcore. Like Quickdraw McGraw. Fuck what you heard, you ain't heard this before.

[jerb322@lemmy.world]

Haven't been to reddit since I joined here.

[itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world]

Lemmy is my only social media at this point. I have a few other sites I look at for information but they are tech sites. The tech sites I look at are not mainstream anymore either.

[jankatarch@lemmy.world]

I cold-turkeyed reddit.

Also noticed when I type reddit on android app search-bar thing sync shows up for some reason.

[hakase@lemmy.zip]

Haven't been to reddit in the two years since I joined here, and I don't have any other social media.

[robust_mirror@aussie.zone]

Never considered it hardcore but yes Lemmy is my only social media unless you count youtube.

[muaddib@sopuli.xyz]

I use Discord and Lemmy, no Reddit outside of reading threads on how to do something in a game

[kokesh@lemmy.world]

I got banned on reddit for not caving up with my subreddits and moved here permanently. I left a long time before they banned me, but came back to check on the state of my stuff from time to time. And now I refuse to open any link pointing to reddit.

[wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works]

Same, and I only use discord for d&d, though I don't do Reddit at all.

[a_union_of_kobolds@lemmy.world]

Literally me. I only got back on Facebook to get in touch with clients. I have lemmy and email, i don't need much else.
