Left reddit during the api/apps fiasco.

…No? I’m pretty sure that was the first massive wave of relatively diverse active users. Lemmy was pretty fringe before that happened. I think there are tens of thousands of us.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 18 points 12 hours ago

That's a LOT of dozens!

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

Same. Reddit without Relay isn't worth it

[–] Thrife@feddit.org 18 points 18 hours ago

Same here! My app stopped working (rip rif.... You will be missed...!), I thought I give the official reddit app a try, it wouldn't let me log in no matter what I tried and then I heard of lemmy via feddit. Only went back once to delete all my data and to close my account.

This is/was the way. I mean, not that people are not welcome here now but still supporting reddit that long is like supporting Elon after he went mad or Trump after the first time around..

[–] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

Saaame.

I used the reddit app many many moons ago, but then discovered Boost. Once it quit working flawlessly, Lemmy became home. And Boost for Lemmy is wonderful :)

[–] Spur4383@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Same. I still miss bacon reader.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 hours ago

Yep. Also left digg during their ad push fiasco to go to reddit.

[–] Godort@lemmy.ca 2 points 18 hours ago

Me too, although I also switched instances from lemm.ee to lemmy.ca when they shut down
