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

[furbag@lemmy.world]

I use only Lemmy. It was easy for me since I pretty much only used Reddit until the mass exodus happened about a year ago and then shortly after they killed the RiF app for Android and I lost the way that I consumed Reddit 95% of the time so I transitioned to using Lemmy full time. I didn't have much of a choice unless I used PC to access Reddit, which I will still do from time to time for niche subjects, but I avoid posting.

I've never had any other "traditional" social media accounts. Call me a hipster, but I thought that shit was lame when people were constantly asking about adding me on MySpace or Facebook and just never bothered to jump on the bandwagon. Eventually, when it came out that those places were cesspools run by unethical hacks I avoided ever signing up intentionally and thanked my lucky stars that I was a grumpy and rebellious contrarian in my youth. I think I was forced to make a Facebook account to use my Oculus VR headset, but I put in as little factual information as I could get away with and never interacted with their terrible algorithm.

Well i do use youtube but other than that i basically only use non-mainstream social media. I also use snapchat but only for messaging.

[xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I only use Lemmy and Piefed.

I’m off Facebook because they ban you for picking on racists now. I’m off Reddit as well. I barely go there on mobile but catch myself there on desktop if I’m researching something.

[jpablo68@infosec.pub]

I only use Lemmy

[umbraroze@slrpnk.net]

I'm only on Lemmy (and other Fediverse sites). And I guess I ramble and post photos on Tumblr (but I think they're working on ActivityPub support too?)

I only occasionally pick up random Reddit threads on web searches (and even those seem few and far between these days), and I'm definitely not posting there anymore.

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.

[gojuryu@lemmy.world]

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.
