Pretty much. Keeping my account there but I don't foresee returning. Maybe in a year or so if I still haven't found communities I want I might give it another shot to see if it's turned from shit to worse but I'm in no rush. Besides, this light Reddit cleanse with kbin etc. is probably good for me.
I keep meaning to go over there and re-save all the links and recipes and stuff that I have saved up from years and years, but I haven’t gotten around to it. I did delete the app from my phone though, so I’m not tempted to scroll it all day (I just scroll Lemmy all day now instead).
I haven’t cared enough to delete it. Before I would always have a tab open for Reddit and would check it from my phone (on Apollo) throughout the day. Now I only browse Lemmy/Mastrodon/RSS, but if I google something and it comes up with a Reddit link, I have no qualms clicking it to see if it has the information I need.
I don’t intend to ever comment or post on Reddit again, and my page views have gone from many per day to once or twice a week.
I have not deleted my Reddit account, but I was perma-banned from there for stating a fact about what Elon Musk and his Boring Company made of all random things LMFAO!
Oh well, I don’t open it for much of anything anymore, but after about 7 years of posts and comments, I’d like to at least go back through my comment and post history if I ever so care to.
It still works for me (Infinity), and there are some small subreddits that I occasionally visit. I’m holding out until the bitter end, but I am using lemmy waay more now.
I still check a local subreddit occasionally. Lemmy, unfortunately, doesn’t have the userbase to support localized communities and going to the local subreddit is still better than going to local Facebook groups.
I’ll also occasionally check the LEGO subreddit to see new builds. There’s a LEGO Lemmy community, but it doesn’t have as many people in it as the subreddit.
I haven’t actually posted since the API Crisis hit, though. I just had to go in with the official app since Boost was finally cut off and it was even worse than I remembered. I’ll still stop by Reddit every so often, but it’ll be a “once or twice a week” visitation instead of “multiple times every day.”
I haven’t logged into my account at all. RiF still gives me access to the feed, logged out, no ads or crappy ui. It’s basically a glorified search engine. I have only used it to research some equipment ftmp. No interaction.
Lemmy is where I like to have discussion and interact with people and I spend my time here. If I do happen to see something, I try to be mindful to perhaps share it and get discourse going on here, with you guys.
Lemmy has fully replaced Reddit for my casual scrolling needs. But for research purposes for things like buying advice, tech support, etc I still find myself at Reddit. Lemmy may get there someday, but it’s not there yet.
I didn’t delete my account because I hate permanently removing information from the internet. I get annoyed when links are dead or information is lost. I understand why others are doing it, but I can’t help but be sad at all the information we’ve lost and I won’t contribute to that.
