When talking about switching to Lemmy, the idea that gets communicated often sounds very abrupt. Despite Lemmy growing a lot, for at least a long time it will never reach the amount of content Reddit has, so a majority may feel discouraged to keep using Lemmy. But that doesn’t have to happen. You can keep browsing Reddit to find those things you need and for those small communities that still haven’t migrated, and in the meanwhile be part of Lemmy by creating posts and commenting on them, as long as you do it. One day, there will be enough activity here to let all of us use Reddit only for archival purposes.

I plan to use both until Apollo shuts down. From there I’ll probably still be on their old webapp for a bit (not the new one, and not the mobile app) until Lemmy starts to fill the remaining content gaps.
This.
No one will judge you for switching back and forth. And if someone does, their voice is not worth the hassle.
Do whatever you want. Go wild. This is the internet, not some fucking prison.
But it feels like kissing the girl who cheated on you with two other guys in an ass to mouth threesome.
I plan on using both. Unfortunately, I use a smalls subreddit a lot, and I’m not sure if enough people will move over to lemmy. Based on the poll on the subreddit it looks like it’s going to permanently go dark also.
