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.
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
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!
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
have done it in july 3rd because of the Reddit protests
shit new comments found this nvm im switching back to active
I’m trying to, but finding a good client and trying to find replacement communities isn’t as straight forward as Reddit was.
I’ll be spending more time on here since I got a random 3 day ban without a reason. This has been happening every few months.
Welcome!
For clients, https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/ has a good list.
For communities, you can use https://lemmyverse.net/communities
That list is too long. I just want to party, not make decisions about social media client 🤷♂️
Are you Android or iOS?
iOS. I’m currently using voyager, because I like to support PWAs, but I’m willing to try an app if it’s better.
Voyager is on App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/voyager-for-lemmy/id6451429762
Otherwise Memmy is a good choice: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/memmy-for-lemmy/id6450204299
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.
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.
Trying to. This is a FANTASTIC tool to find new “subreddits” on Lemmy: https://sub.rehab/
Starting the process… now!
Let’s go! Welcome to lemmy
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.
I did
