    It’s been 12+ years for me.

    I haven’t left completely, as there a a few subreddits that are important for me for either work or hobbies, but I only browse those now and don’t go to the front page or out of specific purpose driven communities that don’t have active equivalents on Lemmy. My time on reddit is down to a fraction of what it was prior to June, and I hope I can drop it altogether at some point as more communities grow here.

    I haven’t even looked honestly, just looked up the account. I don’t really care whether they fill them or not, I only go back to reddit now for /r/sbcgaming and /r/ereader since those communities haven’t really picked up here yet (though maybe they will in time).

    Edit - I just looked. It seems to be a lot of people saying “I wouldn’t be a good mod, no thanks” or “let me be a mod, I’ll totally let people post lewd pics,” “pick me, I’ll reinstate the old mods,” “I’ll gladly abuse my power, sure” and stuff of that variety. So no, doesn’t look like it’s a big rush to fill the spots. Mostly a lot of snark for the majority of them. MaleFashionAdvice seemed to be an exception with people looking to take the mod spot and they were all ridiculously downvoted.

    Edit 2 - I especially liked this one:

    u/spez can take his IPO and shove it up his ass. Join us at Lemmy. We can build it into something corporate dickwads can’t take from us.

    I’m still on reddit, but it seems like the only place I’m going now is /r/SBCgaming, as it’s one of my interests that hasn’t seen much traction here. I made a post suggesting people move to lemmy.world, but it was near unanimously panned, people weren’t interested.

    If and when I have anything interesting to post I’ll do it here on lemmy and link it probably to the subreddit. The main thing I notice though is I spend much less time on reddit now. Since there’s no reason to stay outside of a niche interest subreddit, I’m not browsing around different subreddits or hitting up the front page anymore. Which in hindsight is actually kind of nice, it no longer feels like an endless distraction.
