…how many of you will stay? Personally, I wiped my Reddit history and deleted my account, so I’m definitely here to stay. I can see, however, that a number of people see Lemmy more as a distraction until the blackout is over. I wonder what that number would be.
Deleted my accounts and all post/comment history as well. I’m fully Lemmy only now.
I’m definitely staying. I know there’s gonna be a dip in users, I just hope enough stay that we can build communities.
I’ll stay. I’ve been looking for a reason to move off reddit for a long time. But there didn’t seem to be a non political based exodus, until now. The TD stuff and voat seemed too political charged and only people of a certain political leaning left. As a result voat and the others were just all about American politics. This feels much more across the board, and so far I’m loving the Lemmy community.
I’m here for good. Yes it will take some time to get the lay of the land but, I’m already confident this will become a much better home for me.
Lemmy is promising, and I’m here to stay. I haven’t nuked my account on Reddit yet. But as others have said, I don’t plan on posting much there anymore. Unfortunately, I’m going to be slightly tethered to wherever the smaller, more niche communities that I like end up.
In the short term I’ll probably still be on both, but in the long run I am probably not going to stick around on reddit with the progressively shitty decisions being made.
I became a Redditor during the Digg exodus… Now I’ll become a Lemming during the Reddit exodus.
You probably just started something with the Lemming thing.
We definitely have to stop calling communities subreddits though.
Sublemmy? Slemmy?
I’ve been using sublem
What about calling them “communities”?
Too many syllables
I’ll stick around in both reddit and lemmy until enough communities move over here or reddit just dies.
I’m doing the same but spending more time here. As more communities move over, my time with reddit will decrease. If I knew the copyright laws better, I’d host a few servers of my favorite shows.
I would really like to stay here, but I mostly used reddit on my phone and I’ve found the mobile experience so underwhelming that I have already given up on it. The MLem app crashes on me after ~60 seconds every time I try to use it, too.
If we could entice the developer of Apollo or RIF or Sync or any of the big platforms to make a really slick app for Lemmy, I might never go back to Reddit.
I’m a mobile user as well, I found that (on Android anyway) click the show desktop option in my browser has greatly improved my experience here, all 2 days of it.
Try the Jerboa app! I haven’t had any problems with it at all (the Mlem app is for ios). You can use the direct link to the Google Play store (in green below app description) off the lemmy app page linked below. It’s official and everything. I like it much better than the browser version. 😁
I second this, it is really nice to be fair.
I’ve been a Redditor for 12+ years, but I will definitely keep hanging out here and I’ll keep being active. The community here right now reminds me a lot of the good things of early Reddit, and I like that.
It’s open source so anyone can contribute. With how much feedback everyone is giving, hopefully that means things will continue to get better.
