Ever since I quit reddit I have become irrestable to the opposite sex. I've gotten so many bitches.

    Besides the amount of content (and the occasional server issues) on Lemmy I haven't missed anything about Reddit after switching.

    For me, the only feeling better than dumping Reddit a month or so ago has been when I ditched Facebook years ago.

    Well with Facebook for me it was more like a slow decline until I only used it for things I "have" to use it for. Whereas Reddit was a brutal, one day to the next cold turkey kind of thing.

    Ever since I stopped using Reddit, my wife has been spending more time with me than her boyfriend

    One real effect of leaving Reddit is I spend so much less time on my phone. I love that. Part of it is because my favorite communities haven't come over to Lemmy, which I don't love.

    I am glad people are ditching reddit too but we don't need to jerk ourselves off about it

    I went back to comment on a few posts a week ago before remembering how hostile a lot of the community and moderators are

    Lol I still check it on PC sometimes but Lemmy has completely replaced it on mobile for me.

    Same. I still have pangs of grief over doomscrolling reddit (via Boost, RIP) and getting lost in nonsense like best of redditor updates.

    That said, I spend WAY less time on my phone now, which is definitely a healthy thing

    It feels good. The atmosphere is so much better here, even if the content is slower.

    I wasn't a poster on reddit, but I'm motivated to contribute to the posts here, especially to niche communities I enjoy when I find them.

    I left Reddit, the second I learned what was happening. Haven't looked back

    I feel happy to switch to lemmy over reddit.

    Haven't logged in on Reddit for a while. It feels good not to doomscroll for hours a day. Lemmy is less addicting and less time-wasting and actually has valuable comments whereas Reddit's comment section is mostly pure garbage that I feel compelled to upvote (probably my compulsive tendencies though). But I still use Reddit to search up stuff, however on Old Reddit I think they added a feature where they put recommended posts IN THE COMMENT SECTION and you have to scroll for a while to access the other comments. Idk if that's new or it's something I just noticed but that's such an asshole design.

    Does it count if I only dipped in because the answer to a question i needed was only on reddit? I was there for like 2 seconds.
