Are you committed to make Lemmy thrive? Do you keep posting your discussions on Reddit?
I’m not using reddit ever since they broke all the 3rd party clients.
I mean you can still use them, it’s just more finicky
Haven’t been to Reddit since the API changes last summer. I’m trying my best to be a good Lemmite but I don’t post enough OC, so that’s my bad
I feel guilty, that is why I asked. Yesterday, I even posted a question on Reddit instead of here. I feel that I should believe more on the Lemmites
I thought we were lemmings 😥
Find stuff and post it here. Our memes comrade.
Left reddit as soon as the blackout happened, was actually impressed at myself being able to stay off it. Haven’t been back except when I google a question, and the answer is on an old reddit thread (I do not reply or comment).
My opinion is Lemmy needs more communities and more DAUs. Have been trying to tell people why they should switch but I’m not techy, my friends are not techy and they just don’t care about data/ownership etc. I’m hoping reddit shits the bed further so more laypeople jump ship.
Same goes for mastodon which needs more content although I only previously used twitter on days with big events (oscars, grammys, f1 race days etc).

I’m Lemmy 99%. Can’t do 100% because sometimes there isn’t an equivalent community on Lemmy so I have no choice but to use Reddit.
You could make one and then post it to both communities.
If it’s a topic I’m super passionate about & there’s no community on Lemmy then sure. But I’m not going to start a new Lemmy community every time I want to post a random dog photo or whatever.
I’m sometimes checking reddit now, because Lemmy is mostly memes. Where are the discussions? Why aren’t they taking place?
But obviously not using their shitty app. Just browser with adblocking.
There are discussions, but (almost) only about linux and the sorts.
I just posted a discussion thread yesterday about Dragonball z.
I deleted my Reddit account during the blackouts and haven’t gone back.
This place feels like a breath of fresh air. It genuinely helped me cut down on social media usage.

Good luck. It has certainly helped me.

Deleted my old account(s) a few weeks back, when i use reddit now its usually from the browser just to see the answer to something, no more accounts for me.
Fediverse, Forums, or bust.
I miss the old topic specific internet forums so badly, but having tons of different accounts made the barrier to entry high so I understand why they died out.
Only time I use reddit is if I Google something and it leads to a reddit thread. I hope more people will use Lemmy so when I Google stuff Lemmy comes up first. Fuck reddit I hope their servers get attacked
Lemmy will thrive anytime Reddit experiences another exodus and the servers don’t crash.
I don’t use Reddit whatsoever. Being away from that site for 18 months has really shown how low quality the content there is. I know longer have any desire to ever interact with that site if I can help it, even if the fediverse is missing some of the active niche communities on reddit
100% since they killed Apollo but in general less of everything.
After Apollo went down, made me realize how much unnecessary screen time I was wasting my life on. The smaller size and scope of the fediverse is probably better for my mental health than Twitter/Reddit were
Never post on Reddit never browser it and ask my questions on here. Sometimes I look at a Reddit post for an answer to an obscure question but if it’s something I ask I use Lemmy.
No and No.
I am happy to let this place grow organically with no pressure. I will not and have not been back to Reddit since coming here. Frankly, I am sick of hearing about Reddit; it’s like someone constantly going on about their ex.
