I completely left Reddit. A week before Apollo shut down I slowly started to leave subreddits and cleaned my post and comments. The moment Apollo stopped working, Reddit was dead to me either. Lemmy is now my new home.

I don’t trust anyone named Lenny. Lemmy is cool though

This is my alternative. Still getting used to it. Hi everyone!

Who is this Lenny?

Yep, Lemmy is filling a Reddit-shaped hole. It’s a bit different but nice.

Who’s Lenny? Depends on if they’re cool or not

I’m not on “Lenny” terms yet, I still refer to him as “Leonard”.

As for Lemmy, it’s almost completely replaced Reddit for me. Except for the times I search for something and the best result is a Reddit thread from 3 years ago

Yup, and not just because of Reddit’s CEO.

The culture here is better - people read and reply rather than just upvoting. It’s a good place to help folks out, and be helped out.

On Lemmy you can edit your post titles.

Here’s the thing. Reddit had me hooked on it like no other until the API fuck up. Pretty much dropped it on it the spot.

After the first week it dawned on me how much time I was spending there.

So while I setup here, much less time is being spent online overall. But the interaction has jumped up immensely.

My garden is looking better and I’m hitting the gym much more often.

Yes. I plan on using lemmy over reddit from now on. There are enough similar communities here. I’ll have to keep using reddit if i’m searching for something and it comes up, but i don’t plan on actively using reddit anymore. They showed their true colours: a company’s whole business model built around collecting and displaying user content and then has the nerve to pull that they did on 3rd party developers?

They didn’t want app competition because they needed to serve ads in their app.

I left during the Blackout and I’ve never looked back.

I still dip in to Reddit, but about 75% less than before. As more Lemmy content becomes available, I expect that to further diminish.

Yes (Lemmy), replaced it about two weeks ago. I only visit Reddit for super niche stuff while logged out and using an as locker with the old subdomain. I will never upvote or reply to a topic on there ever again.
