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

[thepowerofgeek@lemmy.world]

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.

Slashdot?

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.

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?

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

[benni@lemmy.world]

I agree that reddit sucks but why do you think it's not anime friendly?

[paequ2@lemmy.today]

Lemmy is my main social media. I don't use anything else. Occasionally, I still get reddit in my search results though.

Oh, I also use Discord.

[etterra@discuss.online]

Almost, because my niche gaming hobby has no Lemmy community.

[real_squids@sopuli.xyz]

Same, used a workaround for a while but then got tired of it and my favorite client got a lemmy version. Smaller places are more fun.
