This seems like a good place so far tbh

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.
Same, but after RiF. Reddit became a posterchild for the corporate greed so fuck them.
I am sad about RIF. It blocked all the ads, didn’t show all the shitty awards, was super clean, the video player worked well and the mod tools were awesome.
On a side note, its sad demise led me to Lemmy, so all is well.
Reddit is Fun was among the first apps I installed on my first smart phone, way back in 2011. I thought, “oh reddit will come out with their own app eventually, I’ll just use this until that happens.” Turned out that 99% of my time spent on reddit over the last 12 years would be through RiF. I’m sad too, man. Lemmy seems pretty cool though
I was doing the same and did a Power Delete Suite of my account. It’s going to take a while to get used to Lenny after 10 years at the other site.
I had a super busy week with work and moving then, so didin’t have time for reddit housekeeping, might need to go back to delete everything when I have the time
If the tools don’t work anymore (did they need API access?), on desktop you can sort by top and delete those manually. Those are the high visibility ones anyway.
I completely left July 1st when Apollo shut down. The Memmey ap is really close to a replacement.
Lemmy reminds me of old reddit and I like it much better.
Same for me. The day Apollo died was the day I quit. I’m starting to warm up to Lemmy more and more over time as it scratches that same itch.
Same. I’ve completely adapted to Memmy and have left Reddit behind. So far the only thing I miss is the sports communities. But otherwise I feel no compulsion to browse Reddit.
I thought I was going to stick around on desktop at least, but I’ve found myself using Lemmy instead. This is more fun.
tips for cleaning comments fast?
Shreddit is what I used to clean them all
Exactly what I did. I added a handful of niche subs as RSS feeds to a reader just so I can keep up on stuff that I have no other way of seeing, but otherwise Reddit is died for me on 30th June
This is my alternative. Still getting used to it. Hi everyone!
I think a lot of us are still getting accustomed to Lemmy and finding our flow. For me, personally, the move exposed a bunch of new communities and topics I didn’t know / or forgot I was interested in and am now excited to be a part of!
Likewise, I’m finding my feed is once again filling with things I am actually interested in. Reddit had drifted slowly towards mindless content but here on Lemmy I feel back in control.
It’s basically old reddit. It feels like I just left Digg and I def enjoy it much more. I’d have left back when they changed to new reddit if Lemmy was around.
Amen to that! And more engaging conversations so far as well.
How do you find communities here that are analogs of the ones you enjoyed on Reddit? I see big communities here like 196 that is basically the same as the Reddit community, and lemmyshitpost is a new type of meme community - but let’s say I’m interested in math and history. How do I find communities with in depth discussion of those topics?
Thank you! Just starting here myself too.
This is where the fun begins!
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
Lenny! Memento is such a fkn good film
ah, Lenny. I really love Lenny.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
On Lemmy you can edit your post titles.
Op purposely used Lenny, to get more engagements.
Uou know, the old adage of saying something wrong in the internet to get the right answers quicker
Ah yes, the Streisand Effect.
Not used Reddit for a while now ^^ Just a couple subs I miss but most things are here on Lemmy now
Request them on !requests@lemmit.online
Or even start them yourself. I’m running a couple.
I’m hoping a few missing subreddits I was on will come over. I really would do it myself but I’m dealing with a multitude of health and irl issues right now.
Same. I didn’t create or mod any community on Reddit but I’m finding it a lot more satisfying to be involved.
Same here, there’s a couple that I go back to browse because the community is still there but I’m mostly here now.
there are calyx institute c/ es but they are tiny
btw i run a calyx vpn c/
Not Lenny!
Came for this
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.
Speak for yourself! I’m just replying to random comments and upvoting whatever I want! I didn’t even read your comment!
This is the kind of quality logical paradox I love!
I don’t trust anyone named Lenny. Lemmy is cool though
yep, feels like old reddit and i’m so so happy!
Absolutely. Deleted account.
That’s a good question, but I’m not sure I’d wanna do that.
I still dip in to Reddit, but about 75% less than before. As more Lemmy content becomes available, I expect that to further diminish.
Same. I still report to reddit when I need to check something technical. For example, was looking at doing some work on my HVAC and wondering if some new pipe fittings were any good. Googled the product name plus Reddit to get the professional discussions from the HVAC experts.
Yeah, same here. To be honest, the web will lose a great repository of information when Reddit goes the way of the dodo. I wonder if archiving efforts are underway anywhere?
Ya, I use Reddit for stuff I’m working on like learning a language that isn’t on Lemmy right now, but I only use Reddit ~25% of the time I used to now.
Simply yes. Not going back
Yep. I didn’t bother installing the normal Reddit app but still needed something to read when all I’ve got is my phone. Lemmy looks promising.
Lemmy in my phone, because no way I’m installing the Reddit spp and old Reddit on my PC, because it has access to information not currently available on Lemmy
