    I’m almost always a lurker but I have abandoned Reddit on principal and come here. I’ve replaced the infinity app on my homescreen with Beehaw and It gives me my reddit fix. I’m more likely to comment here too, since It doesn’t feel pointless due to the size of most subreddits. I’ve been leery of Reddit for a long time with ownership changes, the crap websites and apps, and their lack of reaction to toxic and hate riddled subs. This place is a welcome change.

      I replaced RIF with Jerboa. So far it seems to work great. Even the layout in the comments looks similar.

        I realized today that maybe all I need is something to scroll and some comments to read.

        Sunday, this place felt dead. But each day the traffic seems to pick up and I miss Reddit less and less.

        In a few weeks, I won’t miss Reddit at all (at this pace)

          Feeling and hoping the same. I never commented on Reddit, so it’s not like I’ll be missed, but I can replace it easily with how much more active Lemmy feels now. I’m getting plenty of new posts vs a few days ago when it felt very stagnant.
