    I went to Reddit from Digg during the great migration and I didn’t look back. The Ads and format change were a huge misstep on their part. I honestly would have left Reddit when they went to New Reddit if we would have had Lemmy back then.

      when they went to New Reddit

      I never went to New Reddit…

      I would have left even if Lemmy didn’t exist.

        Yeah, I jumped ship without a plan. After a couple days I remembered I had heard about Lemmy in one of the “What are you going to do on July 1st” posts.

        Am so happy with the results that I honestly no longer care what happens to reddit, I prefer this.

        Smaller? Sure, but it’ll grow. Even if it tops out at current user base I wouldn’t see that as a bad thing.

        I know it never left for PC and I used it over there but I was mostly a mobile user and killing Apollo destroyed my desire for reddit.

        I was also not a fan of some of the changes that affected everything like removing NSFW from r/all.

          Yes but evenso site wide changes still affected old reddit. NSFW subs were still removed from r/all and the sponsored content was still there too. Not to mention all the bots and spam. I was also primarily a mobile user so killing Apollo was the end for me.

          For now, yes. As clueless and inept as Spez has been about this whole thing, it’s only a matter of time until old.reddit gets nuked.
