Nothing important here. I just want to see how many people are moving away from Reddit.

    How does everyone from Reddit feel about the lemmy experience?

    As of this moment, there are currently:

    • 476 subscribers from lemmy.world
    • 61 subscribers from kbin.social
    • 30 subscribers from lemmy.ml

    It’ll take time, and most importantly content, to entice migration.

      Content! That’s the key.

      As for the platform, i like the inline commenting, but I miss markdown. Also, it keeps the interface in Greek(??). I do have Greek installed as a secondary keyboard layout for all my physics/maths typing, but having a Greek interface (which I have to change everytime from “Browser’s default” to English, is weird.

      I know it’s early days, and this wasn’t exactly something that could be planned for, but have you considered whether this community should be on a separate lemmy instance? What I mean is, it looks like the main motivation to reopen r/pop_os is to keep that content publicly available. But it shows the conflict of having that content on a platform that’s not controlled by the Pop project, or its users, or S76. So far I don’t imagine a conflict with the lemmy.world admin, but can that be guaranteed? Is there (at least planned) functionality for a whole community to move from one lemmy instance to another?

        The lemmy.world maintainer has a lot of experience hosting instances for Mastodon, and lemmy.world currently has the best hardware, highest uptime, and now the highest population count compared to other instances.

        What other instance would you recommend?

    Around 7 years on reddit. Transitioning out by month’s end – trying on different spaces/interfaces, checking Reddit only a little in the morning to see where my old subs are going/what they’re doing. I was using the official app until this all went down, then I deleted it and switched to Apollo, so once that’s done I’m fully out.

    Only just got here, but liking the vibe so far

    I was mostly a lurke there, but Lemmy seems like the best alternative. Hope more people migrate soon!

    I’m long time Redditor. I don’t like what Reddit admins are doing. I use RIF on mobile. While still not sure if I’m moving here, I’m close to. This place needs work. A bit slow and disorganized. Hope we can help it.

    Long time reddit user… haven’t been back since the protest started and don’t feel the need to for now at least.

    I’m already reasonably confident that in the near future kbin/lemmy may well be able to fulfil the ‘idle browsing & keeping up with various interests’ portion of my Reddit use. And that was probably 95% of my Reddit time, so that’s good news.

    I’m more concerned about the other 5% - the ‘Reddit as a vast repository of knowledge on how to do/fix/buy/make/etc so many things’… it could take years for the federated alternatives to achieve anything like Reddit’s position there, and there’s a question over how easily searchable it will be. Still, hopefully it’ll come with time.

    Refugee here. Honestly, I can’t believe they didn’t think of making 3rd party apps pay a reasonable fee, while still getting revenue from the official app’s users. It’s like they are trying real hard to make people hate them. And the way they treated Apollo’s creator…yeah, spez can go get fucked.
