How many plan to stay on lemmy post blackout?

I'm moving here permanently and never looking back, but I'm leaving my posts 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.

I've been increasingly frustrated by reddit for years. The API issue was the final straw. I had 3 accounts and deleted all 3 just before the blackout. I left some posts because I didn't know how to nuke it all without doing it manually. But I doubt anyone viewed anything I posted as valuable, so I'm not bothered. I'm just glad to be rid of reddit, to be honest.

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.

I'm not planning on going back...

Of course I'm staying. I'll also stay on reddit until June 30th, after which I guess I'm only coming back on computer once in a while to check the more niche subs. I'm also thinking of using that time left on reddit to organize with people of those subs who would like to create a Lemmy community together, and to help the less tech-savy join.

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.

Deleted my accounts.

Lemmy will have to earn my attention on its own merit, but I'm not going back to Reddit regardless.

I had a 13 yo account. Used Redact to delete my entire history, and then deleted the entire account. So I can't go back! Lemmy/kbin/mastodon is where I'll stay.

Would be great to leave permanently, but Reddit still has the critical mass for niche community subreddits. Hopefully that will change as people jump ship.

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.

Yup. If not for mentions of reddit on lemmy I'd have forgotten about it. Seriosuly.

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

Lemmy needs a useable search - either integrated or indexed via search engines. Major use of reddit for me is treating it as a giant forum, seeking answers to questions.

Doom scrolling comes second. I need a way to swipe away posts I have no interest in to hide them forever.

I will probably never be entirely done with reddit unless the knowledgebase portion dries up.

I do. My sole account there is actively promoting migration and boycott, 90% of the posts/comments is in Reddit Alternatives and 10% in ModCoord (throwing gasoline on the fire).

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.

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 definitely planning on using Lemmy exclusively for a while, at the least. Not planning on deleting anything (yet), though I am going to request a copy of my data.

I'm not ok with anything Reddit's done lately, but not interested in taking drastic action quite yet.

I deleted my 14+ year account (after deleting my content) right after the AMA: never going back. Have used RIF for as long as it has been around and it's going dark June 30. Bridge burned. No regrets.

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.

Toxicity-wise I much prefer Lemmy. I'll definitely end up staying and have stopped using Reddit almost completely. However, there are very niche communities that haven't switched over yet so it's not viable for me to completely cut it off. I've logged out of my Reddit account and will most likely never use it again. I haven't deleted my comments or any posts simply because maybe someone else will find use for them (like somebody else said in this thread). Other than that, I'm all for Lemmy.

gone for good - today was a good day without reddit sucking my soul out. happy to be part of something that does not make me feel like a serf on a corporate plantation.

Difficult to make that call. I will say that having the hand forced to find alternatives was eye opening. I feel like engaging in this space is more pleasant, but there is a definite learning curve. I find it refreshing that there is a consistency of content after leaving and coming back after a few hours. On the flip side, the one thing I enjoy about the Reddit experience is the evolution of the comments over time. There just isn't quite the same throughput here and threads just aren't real dynamic. I feel like going forward there is likely to be a mix of both, with the hope that this takes hold.

I deleted my old accts, and this reminded me to finally delete FB messenger too, which somehow continued to live on like a root I didn't eradicate from an awful plant I chopped down. Frankly, I didn't really use Reddit much beyond lurking for answers to Q's I asked on Google and encouraging others on sobriety pages, so they won't miss me. But at least here I can lurk without feeding a man's ego so much.

I am gone I think. old.reddit is next up, the website is gone for me then.

I will at least for the mobile part of things. Still have to use reddit for some things though.

Yeah, I’m done

I'm sticking around

I'm on kbin but yeah, I plan to stay. Most of what I saw on Reddit wasn't even relevant to my interests because their algorithms kept pushing random shit at me. I'm happy to really tailor my own experience here. Goodbye, my 80k karma

I plan to. At this point even though I do think Reddit could walk back the changes in a way that is mutually accepted, I have zero faith they would be willing to actually make the changes needed to incur enough good will. I rarely if ever commented and won't delete my account (for access to old content viewed and subreddits subscribed to help seek them out here) but definitely not planning on going back.

Still looking both here and at tildes though.

No app on my phone. Might google something specific or go there for very specific reasons for time to time. Not browsing Reddit anymore.

I'm still on the fence. I'd very much like to jump ship API changes or not, Reddit is only going to become more and more corporate over time and I think that goes directly against what a platform like that should be

I'm trying it out and if it takes off like I'm hoping I'll stick around. Like the idea of a more decentralised internet, matrix too but much harder to get people to move from discord without some big catalyst like this

I like to think I won't go back to reddit but force of habit is hard to break even with an excellent alternative!

I probably won't delete my Reddit account, but I started my own Lemmy instance in the hopes that I could encourage more people to try out the Fediverse. I think it could work out well, but it's pretty tricky to get everything set up to start an instance.

I'd prefer Lemmy. Since there are still many subs missing, I don't delete my Reddit yet. I just don't login there for at least two weeks. If Lemmy still exists then, I guess we are over it.

I'll be staying, delted most posts & changed all comments to a link to join lemmy. Most likely delete the whole thing soon.

Deleted my one and only account I had left and have no intention of returning. LME feels nicer to use and i like the idea of separate instances and more decentralisation. Gives more agency to more people.

My only issue with Lemmy is the lack of a "multi-reddit" where I separate the communities I've joined into themed feeds. Other than that, It's pretty cozy here.

I intend to delete my account (or sell to shills) but not ready yet. It's tough to do

I do intend to stay with Lemmy. I'm hoping more of my interests get represented over here. Specifically bluegrass and oldtime music

Pretty much between here and Tildes. I’m new here, I’ve been off and on Tildes since 2018. Both are chill.

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 deleted my reddit account. If I need to find something specific it's okay to wonder there from time to time. My main interests at reddit were technology based so I'm sure these topics move partly to here. I also created Solidworks community here that was my main interest. Lets see if it starts growing.

I deleted all my comments along with my account. I'm not contributing to any platform that is corporate owned walled garden. Lemmy is much more in line with my ethos and I'll happily contribute to it.

I didn't make a lot of posts or comments on Reddit, but I did spend a lot of time on that site. If I still use the site once the dust settles, it will only be for a few niche subreddits that I was a part of.

Reddit is damaged goods as far as I'm concerned and It's clear that the people in charge don't give a shit about the community. I will miss certain content and interactions, but I've walked away from other communities in the past and have adjusted quickly.

I like the idea of Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon and the fediverse. It's clear that they aren't ready for the current influx of users and there has already been some drama between different instances, but I'm willing to work through the growing pains. The whole vibe around Lemmy is generally positive, and that is what's keeping me around for now.

This is my very first comment.

I'm eyeing right now, but it already reminds of Old Reddit, so I may stay. I was there to see Digg die, and now Reddit fall.

I just hope for a good active community.

I deleted my account and all my posts because of this whole debacle. I will not be returning to reddit, EVER... They burned their bridge with me.

I am now permanently on Lemmy.

I had created an account almost 3 years ago. This reddit API apocalypse reminded me of lemmy. Considering, the subpar experience. It would be stupid to not be on lemmy. I still have my reddit account and posts but, after the blackout and the subpar experience my activity has been super reduced.

I'm done. I sometimes open Apollo out of habit but this too shall pass...

I left my account, but deleted my posts. Not going back, only miss a few things like the BestOf board. That sub declined for sure but reliably had good content.

I'm staying here regardless of what happens to Reddit. Because, even if the users "win" this battle for 3rd party apps, there would be a more subtle loss of control later on. They just can't win in a fight with this new, more corporate Reddit that is just trying to beat Twitter to an IPO. This is my new home. I just hope to contribute more this time.

My reddit account is still there as a sort of archive for the few things that I did post. But honestly, I intend on saving some, migrating the rest (to relevant communities here) and just deleting the remainder.

I wanted to switch anyway as soon as lemmy is half-decently ready and has some users. This ist just a very good opportunity at the moment to ditch reddit for good. Not because I hated reddit all along or something like that but because I love federated, free (as in freedom) alternatives, especially when they're written in rust :)

Today is my cake day on Reddit. The fourth one, and hopefully the last one.

I will definitely be sticking around. I do wish limmy.ml hadn't taken quite such a huge bite of the FOSS sandwich. Most my interests lay in answering and asking questions about the software projects I use daily. And the limmy.ml server is crushed. Wish there was a Libera(IRC server where many FOSS projects live) lemmy. That would have made sense to me.

I don't know. So far all I've seen is people talking about Reddit. How do I find interesting communities?

I do for sure.

i really want to, I really like the distributed concept, but posting/commenting times out a lot - easily 80% of the time. maybe I'll give it a few weeks and come back to it.

as far as reddit goes? if it cant access it without infinity then I will never access it. deleted all of my accounts except one, and it's only usable until infinity shuts down.

I'm definitely sticking with Lemmy. While I do feel there's a number of communities missing and those that do exist don't have nearly as much content, I know that this will improve over time as more people switch over. It's also a little rough around the edges on the software side (having to refresh my page several times for it to load properly), but this will be sorted out as well.

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.

I deleted all accounts except for one that I‘m still emotionally attached to. I downloaded a copy of my data and then… well I‘ll use Lemmy as my main platform for now and see how it goes. Then when my Apollo is dead, hopefully I‘ll have no reason to look at Reddit much at all.

Definitely. The signal that reddit sent was pretty straightforward. I'll probably miss some of the communities there butI prefer to build on a safer ground which turned out to be distibuted

i think i jave a 13yo account? maybe 2 comments (I had a few but purged most a few years ago). I have onlu browsed on Baconit and once i found lemmy i started to use it less. . .once its gone I'm gone.

TBH I am more active here because i want it to become my main content source while i drink coffee, and then go back to the comfort of lurking.

im a simple person...doesn't take much to entertain me.

I want to stay gone. I’m banned and can’t go back on the reddit app so Apollo was the only way I could post. That being said, I want something to replace it and I’m not sure what that’s gonna be right now. I mean it wouldn’t be the worst thing for me back on there and not allowed to say anything but sometimes I do like to ask question. Hopefully something positive happens but I’m not holding out much hope

I haven’t deleted my account or posts because a small part of me hopes Reddit unfucks itself. Although as long as u/spez is a part of Reddit I won’t go back.

tbh, it still sucks here lol, but i'm open to the plan on staying here as well as reddit if Lemmy can at least improve to be comparable to Reddit.

I left Reddit forever on 6/29/20

I plan on making Lemmy my main go to and MAYBE occasionally jump on Reddit for some of the niche subs I'm part of. When I do go on reddit I'll be blanket blocking ads.

I was looking for a little help to leave that site, with all the enshitification slowly creeping in... I made this account here a while ago, and now I plan on staying!

I only use my phone so I'll bounce between both until Relay stops working and then stop using Reddit. If Relay keeps working then I'll keep using Reddit. Simple.

I left Reddit but didn't delete my account

I'll be staying. I do tend to be more of a lurker than a commenter, but generally that was because on reddit most anything I was going to say had already been said. I enjoy the "feel" of Lemmy, and I am very appreciative of all of the content contributers.
