I use Lemmy primarily. I try not to use Reddit, Meta, TikTok or anything else as much as I can if there is a Fediverse option.

Unfortunately, there are a few things you have to use that stuff for:

• Facebook Marketplace has completely replaced Craigslist in my area.

• Neighborhood apps like NextDoor, even if there are other options, doesn’t matter if your neighbors don’t use it.

• Reddit for specific niche forums. If the community is active on Lemmy, I post questions here first but in some case I need an answer for something that doesn’t exist in the Fediverse yet.

There is plenty to engage with here. I don’t miss Reddit, other than a couple of local groups that have no fedi equivalents, yet. But not enough to go back.

I use Lemmy and Discord

I still have Facebook because of real life friends but otherwise I am on the fediverse and Bluesky only. I even use Maven. I have never gotten into Snapchat or Tiktok at all, and I dumped Instagram and Twitter a while back.

I would love to not be on Facebook but sometimes if someone commits a really trashy crime in the news and I look them up and their page is full of crazy it’s pretty delicious. Like a Southern Gothic novel.

Just lemmy for some years now. I do miss the Reddit of the olden days though. You know, when there was still some Aaron Schwartz in it.

Back in the I could go online and ask every goddamn question and a real person would give me an answer. There was this treasure trove of knowledge and opinions. Lemmy is sadly not quite there yet, but the memes are spicy and I like those nice socks you computer people wear.

I dream of the day, when somebody shuts down the internet. Because I know, all you sock wearing and Linux wielding Weirdos will get your shit running again the fastest.

I switched to lemmy about two years ago and went almost cold turkey. There was one community on reddit that I returned to a couple of times in the first few weeks, but even that stopped as it just wasn’t worth it. I have been to reddit a few times since, but only when trying to solve a problem and reddit comes up as a search result, and only after trying other sources first.

Yes? But I don’t think I’m hardcore, I started using Lemmy when I stopped using reddit.

Reddit killed third party apps, and so they killed my engagement with them. Why go back?

I stopped using Reddit when I got permabanned for speaking against fascism.

I’m working on a Lemmy client and I occasionally browse main stream social media to check the robustness of my app vs theirs. But I find myself enjoying mainstream less and less as I settle more into Lemmy.

Only Lemmy.

Im IP banned from Reddit though. Still wouldn’t ever go back.

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.

Only Lemmy.

I only use Reddit when it comes up in a search result. Otherwise it is Lemmy all the way
