It took me probably less than a month to completely stop checking Digg altogether. Reddit’s decidedly less slick interface had me confused and the content wasn’t as easy to digest as with Digg, but it didn’t take long to completely abandon it. That was like ten years ago.
I guess a small point I’m trying to make is that you shouldn’t feel “shame” for checking reddit. You’ll adjust and learn to love whichever alternative you choose
I agree, I too was planning to not be too drastic, but today I found out one of my favorite communities is migrating here on lemmy.world, that’s exceptional for morale.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been here for almost a week now and I already feel at home, I’m not missing reddit as a platform anymore, just a few communities among the many I was subbed to.
Knowing that at least one is migrating (that is, officially migrating, reddit mods are organizing that) makes me so happy I can barely contain myself :D
That helps a lot IMO in not wanting to go back anymore.
Yep. I’m abstaining for the 2 day blackout, but when the blackout’s over, I’ll probably spend a bit of time there, but I’ll be looking specifically for the subs that are migrating over, so we can reconvene here.
