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.
This is my alternative. Still getting used to it. Hi everyone!
I think a lot of us are still getting accustomed to Lemmy and finding our flow. For me, personally, the move exposed a bunch of new communities and topics I didn’t know / or forgot I was interested in and am now excited to be a part of!
Hi :)
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
I still dip in to Reddit, but about 75% less than before. As more Lemmy content becomes available, I expect that to further diminish.
deleted by creator
Yes I deleted my Reddit account a week before Apollo was dead.
On mobile but when i research things for games and ttrpgs reddit is a great source. I hope lemmy will be there at one point.
I’m definitely trying.
Not planning on creating any content for Reddit anymore, overwrote > 10 years worth of comments and deleted my posts over there. Currently still lurking on Reddit (using an ad blocker, of course), partially out of some morbid curiosity for the dumpster fire they have created.
I’ll be using both! There is no way 100% of Reddit can be replaced by Lemmy. And right now it feels like mostly technically-minded people use Lemmy. There is a lot of activity in the self-hosting, or piracy communities, while e.g. dating or relationship advice communities are virtually non-existent. It makes sense because Lemmy (or generally the Fediverse) does a horrible job hiding complexity from the average user.
I came over from Reddit right after Apollo shut down on June 30, and TBH, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to stay after that first week. I was seeing the same posts each day no matter how I sorted, and barely any of the posts had any interaction. I’ve seen a huge jump in quality posts and conversation in the last 2-3 days for some reason, and I’ve been popping over to Reddit less just to have something to browse. I’m hopeful that it keeps getting better from here.
Something that can help to onboard lemmy easier, there is a lemmy web app that’s incredibly similar to Apollo: https://vger.app/
Just send app to Home Screen via safari share button, it almost behave like a native app.
Yesterday I have as first step deleted all my reddit posts and comments. Still keep my account for possible GDPR request later.
Not Lenny!
Only noticed it now and i already seen the post earlier
I already did.
Yes I do. Fuck reddit!
To about 90% I have. Some communities still simply don’t exist or are essentially dead, so for the times where I need something really specific or just a general content fix I still wander over. But it’s been a fraction of the time I spent there previously.
