I came from reddit when the API thing shut down my mobile app of choice (RIP Baconreader). I tried lemmy and kbin right away, but couldn’t really get into kbin. This is my only active social media account, unless you count an occasional steam review as social media. I have been using the jerboa app and it works nicely.

I use Lemmy and Mastodon.

What’s not to like? Actual human responses and nice people, no ads, no ai, and no algorithm deciding what I see.

I have Piefed and Mastodon accounts. I prefer the “old reddit” style and the Piefed instance I’m on doesn’t have it so I can’t really get into it. I hate all these supposedly “modern” UIs yells at clouds.

Mastodon is different, it’s fine, I guess. I check it out now and then. For many years I’ve tried to understand microblogging. I just fucking don’t. I never understood Twitter, I’ve always found it obnoxious and inscrutable, even before the Nazi takeover. Mastodon seems like a less fleshed-out version of Twitter, so, again, I just don’t get it. Lemmy? Upvote, downvote. Mastodon… favorite? bookmark? boost? Are replies threaded, I can’t really tell. Does anybody see my posts at all? I’m following like a hundred hashtags and yet my feed is all from one news blogger I’ve never heard of. I just don’t get it. So just every now and then I post a picture of a loaf of bread I baked or something and people seem to do things that cause my notifications to light up once or twice.

I’m on mastodon, lemmy, pixelfed, and loops. Also on Bluesky until the ads start.

Here to avoid ads and dark patterns. Fediverse is where interaction is done with users in mind instead of being the product. No nasty algorithms here.

I just use Lemmy.

I used to browse imgur but they allowed advertising for AfD which caused me to search for a more ethical feeling platform.

I’ve used Mastodon since soon after Twitter was sold. Then when Reddit started killing third party client access I came here too.

I still use Reddit since it’s just got the user base, but I’m trying. I run !gamedev@lemmy.world for the fun of it. (Just don’t judge me by the least few weeks of upkeep; life has been life-ing. I try to find a few worthwhile news stories to link a day, ideally practical, but sometimes just interesting industry news.)

Been on mastodon for awhile. I decided to make a lemmy account because trying to view lemmy from mastodon is annoying.

I only use Lemmy. I tried Mastodon but it was too similar (in its principle) to Twitter which I disliked.

I came on Lemmy because I was starting to get tired of looking at Reddit : always the same stories and content too much filitered. Then the API thing happened so it was over for me, since I only used third party clients.

I stayed because tech and discussions.

Just Lemmy. I never had Twitter so Mastodon probably wouldn’t appeal, I had that problem with Bluesky.

More than anything Reddit just got annoying to use. I had no social media at all for a bit until I signed up for Lemmy, and I haven’t decided if I like it yet. I do enjoy that there isn’t a ton of content to endlessly scroll, feels healthier I guess.

I want Peertube to be good but the content just isn’t there for me yet.

Only on Lemmy, ever since the APIpocalypse on Reddit.

Lemmy -> KBIN -> MBIN -> Piefed (just in the browser; no app/frontend). I don’t use mastadon (I don’t care for microblogging period).

Peertube has issues with discovery from what I see people posting. On the creator side, there’s no earning model and the whole process is more complicated for a smaller audience.

Mastodon for my twitumblr fix

I started exploring Lemmy/Kbin during Reddit’s API drama. I use Lemmy daily, mostly just lurking, but occasional participation. I probably participate here more than I did on Reddit. I post to & scroll through Pixelfed occasionally, definitely more than I ever used Instagram. My Mastodon account is essentially abandoned. I never had a Twitter account, so not exactly surprising. Oh, I also briefly tried Loops, never used TikTok. I’m not big on videos, so I haven’t tried Peertube.

I’m tired of billionaires and big tech and want to support alternatives.

Lemmy. I have a piefed but it was mostly just showing the same stuff as Lemmy, but later. I did like it, though.

Think I registered Mastodon and either a loops or peertube account but never really used them

Came to lemmy when I couldn’t stand reddit anymore

Just lemmy… but it is kind of a waste land… not alot of commentary or sometimes i get random feed posts in language i dont understand lol.
