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

[cmeu@lemmy.world]

Reddit killed third party apps, and so they killed my engagement with them. Why go back?

[two2tango@lemmy.ca]

I only use Lemmy except if I want to see some hot F1 gossip, in which case I'm back to /r/formula1

[diabolicalbird@lemmy.ca]

It's a very quick way to end up in an echo chamber, Lemmy is a very niche platform. I try to keep up with Reddit, Lemmy and Mastodon. Not a huge amount better, but it's a bit more variety than one tiny service.

[crikeste@lemm.ee]

Only Lemmy.

Im IP banned from Reddit though. Still wouldn’t ever go back.

[idontplaythetrombone@lemmy.world]

I'd love to only use lemmy, but there aren't enough posts. I use lemmy for 2 days in a row, then reddit for 2-3 days in a row, repeat.

[crikeste@lemm.ee]

They killed Apollo and I’ll never forgive them.

Luckily, Voyager is pretty similar with Lemmy

[swizzkillz@lemmy.world]

Trying to but its hard. But I'm only on reddit when i really have to throught the browser. I try to minimize my traffic there.

[phobos@lemmy.ca]

Same for me. Reddit walled access to their platform so I sought alternatives. Lemmy filed that void.

[groolthedemon@lemmy.world]

Can't use Reddit if I'm permanently banned. Fuck them anyways.

[haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com]

Yes, hi. I have fully abandoned antisocial media.

Stuff is not important anyway, no matter where it is posted. I get input here, which is okay. But the most important part is: I dont get centrally controlled propaganda and am able to form my own input as I can handle it.

I switched to lemmy about two years ago and went almost cold turkey. There was one community on reddit that I returned to a couple of times in the first few weeks, but even that stopped as it just wasn’t worth it. I have been to reddit a few times since, but only when trying to solve a problem and reddit comes up as a search result, and only after trying other sources first.

[tedde@lemmy.world]

There is a treasure trove of useful knowledge fragments that I occasionally use at work - like for when I do a web search for an obscure error message - however I don't engage with the platform, just reference it when useful. Otherwise Fediverse forever, fam!

[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.
