Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?

I deleted my reddit apps and decided to not use it anymore, so yeah, I am only on Lemmy now using it on desktop and on phone I use jerboa for lemmy

i have not been back since the blackout started.

I gave up Reddit 100% the day the blackout started, so by default… yes. Way more time on Lemmy. As someone that isn’t on these sites that much of the time, I like Lemmy way better since I can actually contribute and have conversations. On Reddit I’m only ever replying to a post once there are a thousand replies already and it’s always buried. Here it’s much easier to chat.
I was thinking about setting up an instance to help me learn some more development stuff and practice my Terraform use, or maybe build an iOS app to learn Swift in my spare time… but I don’t really have spare time, so those things have a 99.9% chance of not happening haha.

Last week I switched from 100% reddit / 0% Lemmy to 0% reddit / 100% Lemmy overnight.
Fuck /u/spez

I quit using Reddit entirely when the blackout started. I didn't immediately jump all in to Lemmy, but I've found myself checking in more often and staying on the site for longer periods of time as it continues growing

I’ve not touched Reddit since the blackout started, and I won’t be going back.
Fuck u/spez

I've quit reddit 100%. I was a little bit addicted, so I used the blackout as a way to quit cold turkey. Lemmy kind of scratches the itch, enough that I don't go back to Reddit, but I don't spend as much time here as I did there. I'm counting that as a good thing

I'm enjoying doomscrolling through the drama on Reddit but I'm enjoying the community over here more. I know the inevitable it's coming (RIF user) but now it's a much less bitter pill to swallow.

Yeah I stopped using Reddit when the boycott started and don't plan on going back(went back to add nonsense to my old comments). Hoping to see a larger migration as well.

99% time on Lemmy, 1% on Reddit telling people to migrate to Lemmy.

I vehemently refuse to support Reddit in any way. I deleted all my accounts and apps. When google answers my question with a Reddit link I access it through the way back machine.
Reddit has proven time and again that it is anti community and that it will stop at nothing to satisfy their greed. Anyone who understands the dynamics at play and still drives traffic to them is proving that the masses can be manipulated to go along with anything

I am mainly a mobile user. Unfortunately the Lemmy apps are still pretty limited. Despite that I refuse to use Reddit from now on even though I find myself often opening Apollo (muscle memory I guess), I always close it immediately. Really hoping the lemmy apps improve as I see a lot of potential.

Though this is my first post over here, uninstalled RIF on the 12th (after buying premium as a thanks for the last decade of using that great app) and haven't been back to reddit since.
There are certainly plenty of subs I miss and things aren't all rosy here yet, but I refuse to ever go to reddit again. They brought me from a 4hr/day, decade long happy reddit user to a complete boycott overnight. Amazing business acumen.

Oh definitely. I've been on a continuous Lemmy/kbin binge since Friday. This place is way more enjoyable than reddit because:
Your voice matters. People actually upvote and reply!
There is no karma! One less thing to obsess over (though you can see how many posts/comments a user has made).
The content is much more interesting and reminiscent of the early days of Reddit.
Maybe I'm too nerdy but I like how clean the site is.
There is absolutely zero commercial interest across the entire lemmyverse and it's awesome. You can talk to actual people and have fun!
It feels magical that there are all these different Lemmy and kbin servers and you can see people from 10 instances talking to each other in the same thread.

I moved here with the intention to stay. I just use reddit to promote Lemmy now.

I'd use Lemmy more if half the content wasn't about Reddit.

I've abandoned Reddit ever since a couple days before the blackout and it's been really nice. It feels refreshing to be part of what seems to be an upcoming community.

I'm constantly making a conscious effort to avoid going back to reddit. It's not been easy, as it was my most used app maybe after youtube, but I've succeed so far. Last december I deleted my twitter account I created back in 2009. It hurt a bit, but I survived and found a nice place on a Mastodon instance. My reddit account is 11 years old, and I'll be deleting it too, soon. It'll hurt too, I know, but I'll survive too. Lemmy is my new home.

I made an account on both kbin.social and Lemmy and use jerboa to browse Lemmy on mobile.
I haven't been on reddit in a week, and have deleted my account so on the occasions that I do end up there I won't be adding to their content or participating.

Full time Lemmy, using Jerboa app on my phone and just lemmy.world on desktop. Haven't gone back to Reddit other than vote for the funny polls to reopen subs.

Haven't been back to reddit, no

I am proud of myself! Haven't touch reddit since the 11th! I am free! Ahahahahaha! Ahem. For real though It feels good to break the habit. Course I replaced one addiction. With another by landing over here. Oh well. That is how it goes I suppose.

I haven't touched Reddit since June 11th, never going back.
I had been using RiF for over 10 years.

I've basically made the switch 100%, and I'm finding myself a lot more active on here so far. Everything I've posted in any given community has resulted in a lot more friendly discussion here than it tended to on Reddit... honestly, so far this feels a lot better lol.

For sure. I hereby consider Reddit to have died, along with the 3rd party app that I used to view it with. (RIP Boost, you will be missed 🚀)
From now on, only Lemmy exists to me and I've fully replaced it, partially out of spite.

I deleted everything Reddit related and haven't been there since. I even avoid Reddit related search results.

I’m spending much more time here now that I am spending at reddit. I’m hoping for another big influx of users (and therefore content) on July 1.

The only time I've spent on reddit is to convince mods and users to make the switch to lemmy

I have, 7 days clean off Reddit.

On lemmy or kbin I try to be more active to increase the user engagement 😎

I'm about 40% Reddit and 60% lemmy/kbin right now. Once my Reddit app of choice (Relay) dies, I'll probably be here 100%

I stopped using reddit since day 1 of going dark. Sometimes Google redirects me there so I have to find other results. Jerboa for Android is a great experience - spending most of the social media time here

I have almost completely stopped using Reddit (and I was a huge Redditor for about 12 years). Since it was first released as a beta, I have only used Apollo. With that option soon gone, I decided it was just best to cut Reddit ties and switch over. Lemmy is not Reddit (yet), but I think once there are some decent third-party apps, it definitely has serious potential.

I only use reddit when looking at the current blackout and api situation. I am also sharing the word of lemmy and the fediverse to users who don't know what it is. But i no longer browse trough reddit, only on lemmy. More specifically the jerboa app on Android.

Yea, I spend 90% of my time on Lemmy, and it's been really fun seeing it grow so quickly.
Most of my recent posts on Reddit have been mod actions, or pumping Lemmy.

One day I used to browse Reddit. Basically next day I switched to Lemmy / Kbin.
I only arrive to reddit when the search engine gives me what I'm looking for over there. No regrets. It is valuable info that deserved to be consumed. When I make effort to create valuable info I now create it in federated media.

Yup. I was using the official app and I just went cold turkey on reddit. Now just on lemmy. I used the jerboa app for a few days but it's slow and I get a timeout toast anytime I do anything, so instead I installed the lemmy.world PWA

Pretty much done with reddit for the time being if not for ever. Been on Lemmy as a filler for my fix.

7 days no Reddit.

I'm currently enjoying Lemmy through Jerboa on Android!
EDIT: I'm now also using WefWef, which is virtually indistinguishable from Apollo. I've never used Apollo though so I'm getting still getting used to it, but I like it!
I can't seem to find a way to edit comments on it, though... So I here am back on Jerboa 😅

Definitely me, haven't opened reddit since the protest.

I stopped using Reddit on the day of the blackout and I've been wasting my time with playing sudoku instead. I go on lemmy a few times a day because I switched out Jerboa on my RIF shortcut and I go on it out of boredom.

I've entirely switched over to Lemmy. Deleted everything I had on reddit. I hope all subreddits that participated in the strike change their subreddit permanently to something else, instead of getting overthrown. Ie, /r/steam was about Steam, the PC platform. It's now for steam enthusiasts.

10 year reddit user just shy of 150k post karma and I've left and won't be going back. I fucking hate capitalist bullshit. There's trying to make a sustainable company and then there's abject greed.
That and reddit caught a bad case of the dumbs 5+ years ago that it just can't shake.

Yep. After 9 years of almost daily use and 50k comment karma, I haven't been on Reddit in a week. I miss a few of the more niche places, but I imagine they'll be along. I started an r/synthesizers ripoff anyway.

Yeah, I've switched. Sometimes a result for tech help pops up on search and I open it through archive.org

I vietually dropped it almost cold turkey. Albeit there are threads i would like to read, i outright try to avoid pulling up the app

Only Lemmy for me now.

The only reasons I still go to Reddit now are to:
shit on Reddit and promote Lemmy, using RIF on mobile and an adblocker on desktop so that they get $0 revenue from me;
check out the tiny NSFW shitposting sub I'm in as I made some friends there.
For anything else I go straight to lemmy.world which is my new home now.

Same, replaced RIF with Jerboa in my home screen. I do miss few communities but I think is only matter of time.

I deleted my Reddit account at the beginning of the blackout and haven't opened it since (except when Google takes me there for some search results).

I don't scroll through Reddit but scroll here instead. Not as much as leaps out at me as it used to but at the same time I am glad it's more focused and less shitposting.
Haven't deleted my account, see no reason to. But for sure, my account will show next to little activity, no commenting, no login, nothing.
I'm just a commenter unfortunately, never been much of a poster and contributer. More into the comment discussions!

That's... why I'm here.
