    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.

    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

      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!

    I am not I’ve found it - its nice to have a real “FRONT PAGE” again.

    No bots reposting for Karma, no ads.

    just people on a forum - like how reddit used to be.

    Im so happy I found this place

    The only time I’d use Reddit now is if I had a specific question about a specific topic that’s only covered there.

    As far as browsing for fun goes it’s Lemmy all the way, it’s so much nicer than Reddit.

    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.
