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.
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
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
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!
Starting the process… now!
Let’s go! Welcome to lemmy
Yup, I bailed on Reddit a couple months ago and just discovered lemm.ee. So far, so good.
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
Trying to. This is a FANTASTIC tool to find new “subreddits” on Lemmy: https://sub.rehab/
have done it in july 3rd because of the Reddit protests
shit new comments found this nvm im switching back to active
Already did. Purged all my Reddit bookmarks and account.
Generally: You have to be the change you want to see in the world. If you want to change others, change yourself first. I don’t think the mindset “I need to reach that big number of people over there so I’ll just be over there as well to teach them” works, or leads to the goal you want. Even though it seems reasonable at first glance. This mindset just leads to you giving the other people AND yourself more reason to never leave from there. Which is contrary to what you want. If you want others to switch to better alternatives, move yourself first, help grow the alternatives, and they will sooner or later also become interested in joining. Things like the latest Reddit and Twitter fiascos also show that no huge proprietary social media platform rules forever. The time to change to better alternatives has never been better than now.
No, I’m replacing it with Lemmy.
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.
Who is Lenny?
I did
deleted by creator
Yes. My username says it all. Late to the party because the fortress of Lemmy has been extremely difficult & discouraging to scale but today I finally did it.
