Have you left reddit forever? Have you deleted your account and posts? Just curious
I’m moving here permanently and never looking back, but I’m leaving my accounts because that’s 11 years worth of comments that someone may find useful in the future. I hate the idea of losing all the good comments and discussions that have taken place over the years but I understand why people wish to delete their stuff regardless.
That’s the problem with reddit at the end of the day. It profits off of other’s knowledge and hard work. The only problem with Lemmy is its difficulty getting into it. I don’t think this will ever be as big as reddit but one can hope.
Depending on the community, big is not always better though. Especially for technical communities, a smaller and knowledgeable community is preferable.
I honestly do not say this in a ‘gate-keeping’ sort of way, but see the Linux-related communities on Reddit for instance – they have all devolved into “I successfully installed <distro_name> and I am never going back!”, “Look at my shiny new themed desktop”, “Update broke my installation. Help!” etc. This is in stark contrast to the Linux mailing-lists of yore, where users discussed actually interesting stuff.
Oh absolutely. I meant more in a way where Lemmy was the go to for hosting a community rather than reddit. I hate this being labeled as a “niche website” and I want the plethora of information reddit has to offer over here instead where it can’t be profited off of and manipulated. Sadly in order for that to happen I must show you my new PC with a small debian based distro you probably haven’t heard of, Linux Mint. I can’t and won’t ever go back to stinky windows. But for real I had to recreate my Lemmy account since I forgot my login its been so long since I found no actual personal use for this site.

I would very much like that to happen too, and I hope we do manage to strike a nice balance between too niche and too, well, Reddit-like. I am old school, and almost exclusively use a browser for web content, but I think a good app for Lemmy will help attract and retain more users. After that, if the crowd who doesn’t even want to climb the small hill of getting used to decentralized way of doing things is still not pleased and doesn’t want to come here, or wants to go back to Reddit or wherever, that’s fine by me.
Cheers :)
Also decided to move permanently. Running Power Delete Suite now to mass edit all my comments/posts there so they can’t monetize my effort.
Well, I’ve been here since before the blackout. I’ve been following the Fediverse for a while, registered on Diaspora, Mastodon and others.
The only reason I wasn’t really using Lemmy much, or at all, is because there were not many people to interact with. But look at it now!
I have indeed already left Twitter for good, using only Fosstodon, I might as well leave Reddit for good.
I’m going to stick around here. I’m not letting the official reddit app anywhere near my phone.
I’ll deffo be staying on Lemmy, ain’t going back to reddit
I’m not planning on going back…
I’m leaving my account intact for two reasons. First to keep a log of past comments. Second to make comments encouraging mod teams to move to lemmy.
Pretty much between here and Tildes. I’m new here, I’ve been off and on Tildes since 2018. Both are chill.
Tildes looks nice, but the invite-only aspect of it is frustrating.
How do you get invited? And what is entailed in inviting someone? Do you have to vouch for their good behavior or something? What’s the point of it?
I was given an invite code back in 2018 when the creator was giving them out, or something. It was super small.
I think that have a few invite codes. I’m assuming everyone got 10, and you can use those. They only disappear when the person I gave them to uses it.
I don’t see myself leaving Lemmy anytime soon. It’s like being in an exclusive club. You don’t want go to back to the that filthy club where the bouncers are pricks.
I will definitely be staying. Even if it fails, I will then just stop using any social media but Mastadon. I am never going back.
I’ve deleted my 10 year-old account and I’m considering deleting the others I don’t use just to drive a point. I only have a particularly naughty account on the Snoosite and the Birdsite each where I get source material for the Fediverse, though. Tee-hee.
Moving here for the foreseeable future, but don’t think I’ll be deleting my reddit account. Just like the gaslit partner in a toxic relationship. I am hoping reddit becomes better. Until then, I am moving here to reevaluate.
Also I cannot live without my patient gamers subreddit and my nosleep subreddit

I’m having fun here, will likely stay for long.
My main issue right now is that, I use Reddit mostly for participating in tech communities and they don’t seem to exist here… yet.
I hope that changes in the soon future.
I deleted multiple accounts an I’m never looking back, at most I’ll connect on my phone anonymously for google results using infinity for as long as it works, and then with a mobile browser until that’s no longer allowed
After that, well there might be ways to bypass whatever it is they do, but it won’t be worth it

I sincerely hope the Fediverse catches on. It has a few hiccups and limitations, but I love the concept and it so clean and devoid of clutter vs Reddit.
