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

[libertylizard@slrpnk.net]

I also use Reddit. My local sub can’t be replicated here, unfortunately, and it’s a very valuable resource to know what’s going on in the local community.

Like many who responded, I don't think it's hardcore to not be on Reddit. I was for a long time, then my local forum in Denver was crushed by Reddit admins overreacting to the API rebellion, then the hobby forums started being taken over by AI, and finally the tone on other subs became absolutely toxic, with no variant of the prevailing opinion allowed. Hello, /r/Summit!

The only thing missing from Lemmy is depth, and that will fill in automatically as more people join. For a change, I am delighted to be on a platform that isn't beholden to a small group that makes all the decisions regardless of user input. In fact, I started out on KBin until that flaked out massively (back to normal, now) and was excited that I could just switch to Lemmy and see the exact same things.

Now I am on piefed because I like Python and would like to contribute. But I love all the people at Lemmy <3.

Yeah. I stopped commenting, when my main account had ridiculous amounts of karma. I still browse, but only logged out and only on old.reddit.com in a web browser.

I’m read only on a privacy front end for Reddit and write and read for Lemmy. I figure I can help grow this place by contributing while staying tuned in to things on Reddit. I do hope this place grows, but it seems to have plateau’d.

I gave up Reddit after the great API fiasco. Once in a while I check out Bluesky, about the same frequency as I look at Mastodon. But about 98% of my social media time is spent on Lemmy.

[redditistrash@lemmy.world]

The whole reason I’m here is because I despise reddit. I only use it if I need to find something specific.

[empricorn@feddit.nl]

Last 2 years Lemmy only. Sure, it's not as active as Reddit, but that's probably a good thing. If you run out of content on "active", look at "hot", and maybe "new"...

high five.

[naiboftabr@infosec.pub]

Slashdot?

[interstellar_1@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I do still use reddit, mostly for communities that don't have much on lemmy. I normally still access it through the third-party apps Relay and rdx though. As for other social medias, I do have tumblr and bluesky, as they are very civil and fun, but I can't get into the idea of a normal social media platform such as Mastadon or Instagram, as posting stuff just ends up feeling like work.

[sayjess@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Same boat. There is obviously less content, but the user engagement seems more meaningful than getting lost in a sea of comments on some /r/AskReddit mega-thread. Not to mention, not having to deal with nearly as many Trump supporters and anti-LGBTQ people.

Remember /r/GenderCritical? A supposed rad-fem space that’s only purpose was to denigrate any existence of trans people? Or the multiple copies that propped up after it was banned?

[kspvhmtolwvmd7y7e@lemmy.world]

i left reddit since the API/spez drama and exclusively use lemmy as "social media"

[jakenveina@midwest.social]

Me. I came here to get AWAY from reddit, why the hell would I use it anymore?

[geodad@lemmy.world]

I only use Lemmy.

The main reason is that Redditt banned me for saying that if you have the chance, you should always punch a nazi.

[flickerby@lemm.ee]

Made this account when they ditched RiF. Gonna have to ditch it for a new one on .zip in a few days

[zwuzelmaus@feddit.org]

Yes, I switched to Lemmy and then never looked back. Didn't know that this was "hardcore"

And no, not interested in face twit tok etc. but I sometimes watch a few things on yt (without being "social" there).

[macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world]

Fedivese only 2 years on (Lemmy + Mastodon)
Left reddit when the whole API bullshit started.

[libb@jlai.lu]

I'm not hardcore anything but I quit using Reddit and have not looked back. I also don't use any other social, even tough I own other accounts I have not logged into for many years.

Why I don't see myself hardcore? Because there is no hate, or anger and no desire to preach anyone to switch either. I respect people's choice. I disagreed with a few of reddit decisions & their policy change back then and took my decision accordingly. I posted a goodbye note explaining why I left reddit and switched to Lemmy. The same with X, Facebook, or whatever: when I realized I could not trust those services, I told people around me and moved away.

[mintiefresh@lemmy.ca]

I am almost Lemmy/Piefed exclusive now. Sometimes I visit Reddit for some niche topics but I'm usually logged out and never comment there.

[winni@lemmy.world]

I never used reddit. Looking for technical information, I found reddit to be very intrusive while searching technical information, until I found the addon highlight or hide search results for firefox, which lets me hide reddit (and youtube) in search results
