Is anyone here so hardcore that they don’t even bother with mainstream social media? If its not on Lemmy or Mastodon it must not be important? Anyone that hardcore?
Reddit killed third party apps, and so they killed my engagement with them. Why go back?
Only Lemmy.
Im IP banned from Reddit though. Still wouldn’t ever go back.
Trying to but its hard. But I’m only on reddit when i really have to throught the browser. I try to minimize my traffic there.
I’d love to only use lemmy, but there aren’t enough posts. I use lemmy for 2 days in a row, then reddit for 2-3 days in a row, repeat.
It’s a very quick way to end up in an echo chamber, Lemmy is a very niche platform. I try to keep up with Reddit, Lemmy and Mastodon. Not a huge amount better, but it’s a bit more variety than one tiny service.
I’m only on Lemmy (and other Fediverse sites). And I guess I ramble and post photos on Tumblr (but I think they’re working on ActivityPub support too?)
I only occasionally pick up random Reddit threads on web searches (and even those seem few and far between these days), and I’m definitely not posting there anymore.
I only use Lemmy except if I want to see some hot F1 gossip, in which case I’m back to /r/formula1
Only Lemmy.
Well i do use youtube but other than that i basically only use non-mainstream social media. I also use snapchat but only for messaging.
I only use Lemmy
I use only Lemmy. It was easy for me since I pretty much only used Reddit until the mass exodus happened about a year ago and then shortly after they killed the RiF app for Android and I lost the way that I consumed Reddit 95% of the time so I transitioned to using Lemmy full time. I didn’t have much of a choice unless I used PC to access Reddit, which I will still do from time to time for niche subjects, but I avoid posting.
I’ve never had any other “traditional” social media accounts. Call me a hipster, but I thought that shit was lame when people were constantly asking about adding me on MySpace or Facebook and just never bothered to jump on the bandwagon. Eventually, when it came out that those places were cesspools run by unethical hacks I avoided ever signing up intentionally and thanked my lucky stars that I was a grumpy and rebellious contrarian in my youth. I think I was forced to make a Facebook account to use my Oculus VR headset, but I put in as little factual information as I could get away with and never interacted with their terrible algorithm.
Occasionally I’ll hit up a reddit result if I’m doing a search looking for an answer to a specific question. But I never browse it since the 3rd party apps stopped working.
I’m only three (3) active (and hopefully semi/official) communities away from ditching r/ and moving completely to c/; for most of everything else I’ve found quite sufficient activity on Lemmy + Mastodon. Alas, since “representatives moving their community to lemmy” is not the kind of stuff you can enhance yourself unless you are an admin of those, I’m stuck on waiting.
I’m off Facebook because they ban you for picking on racists now. I’m off Reddit as well. I barely go there on mobile but catch myself there on desktop if I’m researching something.
I only use Lemmy and Piefed.
