Subscribed to the RSS for the one very local niche sub that i haven't found a substitute for. Other than just incidental search results that take me there.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Only when a contact sends me a Reddit link, which I open through Geddit as to not give them any ad revenue, and I do not comment or vote at all.
I don't actively search for stuff fhere either.
Not really. I left in support of the mod strike/blackout and I stayed away because of Spez’ total bullshit WRT the API.
Sometimes Reddit is still the best place to get or find an answer. As long as old.reddit.com remains functional, I will go and participate while engaging with a question I post.
I was a pretty big contributor before, too. Not like recognizable username big, but big enough to get an IPO invite ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When searching for info, yes. But just daily use and scrolling no
Exactly.
I didn't delete my account, but I've never logged back in after they killed 3rd party apps last year and don't visit unless it's a direct result from a search.
Fuck Reddit
There are a few communities on there which I still check, but I spend a significantly less amount of time on Reddit than I used to. I also refuse to post anything or interact on that site anymore.
Like many others on here, only to search for some specific information. And never logged in to an account anymore.
I miss sports game threads. The Lemmy communities are just not taking off enough for me. I am tempted to open up a reddit account for talking shit in game threads only.
Do it, enjoy your life, don't feel bad.
Not really. I've stopped by a few times because I was looking for specific information and that's where it was to be found, but other than that, I went from checking in dozens of times a day to quitting could turkey.
Occasionally I'll use Redreader to check in and see if there is anything worth looking at. But for most of my scrolling and all of my comments I end up back on here.
I don't. I recently logged in just to see what i was missing. More than half my front page was ads, the next 30% was repost bots posting the generic questions for engagement. There were maybe 2-3 posts that were actual posts. I left.
No. They ban VPNs, so if I happen to follow a link that leads there, I get the "login to see this" page, shrug, and go somewhere else.
It's easy to circumvent, but rarely worth the effort. The content was getting mostly shit-worthless even before I left. It's only gotten worse.
There's not useful, factual information on 4chan, these days.
Same. Same reason. Same thing.
I will admit that I've gone to reddit on a VPN with no sign in to look at 🎶porn-o-graphy🎶!
I think if you have an account you can still use a VPN.
Nope.
Yup. My town has a pretty active subreddit, and the Cyberpunk RED subreddit has great material.
I never left, I just started using both.
Probably the "final straw" would be shutting down old.Reddit. Unless they do something else unexpectedly awful that I haven't thought of.
Nope, Spez or one of his admin goonies fixed that for me.
Perma-banned, for stating facts about Elon Musk and his Boring Company's 'Not A Flamethrower'
Obligatory FUCK SPEZ
Spez and his admin goonies*
Inclusive AND 😂
Not really. Sometimes I'm there from search results but never logged in. Rif was reddit for me.
No
Only when I'm googling a question and I see an answer in reddit.
Never interacting tho.
Not unless a random search takes me there for a non-answer to my obscure question.
Generally no. R/ sysadmin is very helpful; but I usually end up there from a search rather than browsing reddit
I've only registered to it when I feel I need to interact a little more than few on here. I'd last long enough until I'm shadowbanned or banned outright because of a report from an overly-sensitive redditard.
I keep registering just out of spite though because if Reddit cared about alts or shit, they'd re-tool their registration by now. But, Reddit never learns anything so why not keep abusing it.
It's only been getting longer between times though before I consider re-registering again. Just playing the whole ban evading whack-a-mole with them. But I do make my feelings known time to time about Spez because that shithead can still go fuck himself and that stupid grin of his.
I spend most of my time on Lemmy but when I'm on a desktop I'll check reddit occasionally. I refuse to interact at all though
I didn't visit Reddit for 8 months or so after the API fiasco, but gradually started going back for a handful of niche communities whose fediverse counterparts are dead or nonexistent.
i only use it when attempting to lure people to the 'verse from that terrible, bot-ridden cesspool
