I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

        Same, while I do feel Lemmy and Jerboa need some work, I feel like they are enough there already to make it work. In a lot of ways it feels better than reddit, idk why

          For me, it’s the community. I’ve only had pleasant exchanges around here, everyone seems approchable, when on Reddit it’s quite hit-and-miss.

          I deleted the Reddit app from my phone just to avoid opening it out of force of habit, and I thought it’s take some self-convincing to stay on Lemmy; but the reality is, 2 weeks in, I don’t miss Reddit at all in the end. I was mostly using it for scrolling through interesting content I’m subscribed to, and so far Lemmy does this just as well.

      Same here. I didn’t delete my history and account but for now I am happy here. For me Lemmy reached the critical mass already and as a result I don’t miss Reddit one bit.
