This is me. I no longer scroll Reddit. I only go over there to browse the nursing and Boston subreddits occasionally because I can’t get that same interaction here. Everything else I do here now.
I really like it here on Kbin, and I'm on here daily :-)
I don't really use Reddit anymore; I usually only check Reddit if there is something I need help with or to look up something specific
there's enough here i only end up on that other site if a web search takes me there (using the 'old' redirect addon, plus ad and script blockers), or for one specific sub for which there isn't an alternative (and i lurk only now, and far less frequently).
I spend most of my time on here browsing through All - as long as you're willing to wade through Linux and Star-trek memes, there's still an awful lot to see in the Fediverse.
I don't think the Fediverse is populated enough at the moment that niche subs can be as active as they were on Reddit. Best you can for now is keep your niche alive and spread the word of it's existence
I made an effort to interact with one community in particular to get it going and it actually started getting a tad more lively recently. So maybe there’s hope if we play our parts.
My main use of Reddit was distilled to Roleplaying games like D&D and I’d only browse all to mindlessly doomscroll. Reddit was the best place (in my opinion) for this communication because it has both the userbase and the structure for massive topical conversation.
I’m not returning to reddit but the lack of content in those circles here has actually dampened my passion for that entire world. I literally listen to 6-10 hours of podcasts per week on tabletop role-playing games, plus I read countless blogs and I’m practically up to date with all related content that comes from Lemmy or Masterdon, but it’s not the same, there is no deep discussion like what I used to have.
I’m not totally doing my part, for every 50 things I read here, I comment once maybe, but still.
I still have a foot in both worlds, but my usage of Reddit has gone way down. I've always said that I'll quit Reddit when Old Reddit goes away, and I think that's still a reasonable threshold for me.
I still end up having to use reddit to get questions answered, but I still have not contributed any content to the site since the exodus. Hell, I haven't bothered to log back into my account in ages. It doesn't feel the same, but my scrolling has more or less been supplanted by Kbin and Youtube.
Miss the niche, enjoying it otherwise. Easier to name and shame the fascists and the tankies and just chill with people in discussion about media or what have you
I’ve muted and or blocked about 200 places so far. As long as you don’t go into anything political or religious it’s okay. Of course, just like Reddit, Lemmy is dominated in those categories by extreme leftist authoritarians and edgy atheists
Unfortunately I still have two subs that I check out - one of them being r/HFY, which has ongoing stories that are being posted there and nowhere else. Though I haven’t written a comment or (intentionally) [up|down]voted anything out of principle.
Other than that, Lemmy’s fine for casual shitposting and for now I don’t regret the migration.
I’m mostly just happy to be off reddit, the blackout day showed me how much of a compulsive behaviour looking at reddit had become and since then I started reducing my time there before dropping it entirely when the API changes kicked in. Thankfully I’ve also managed to not replace it with a Fediverse compulsion and so I actually have time to do stuff I enjoy rather than just doomscrolling. Frankly I kinda wish reddit had done it sooner
