About once or twice a week max. And only because infinity for reddit still works. Nothing much there really. Lemmy actually has been more fun. Just the apps are still a hit or miss
Nope, and I even stop searching for episode discussions on TV shows because most of it is on reddit.
There are just two subs I check about once every two days, but I'm yet to log in again after I disconnected my account last month. I used to only visit it through Libreddit as the UX is better anyway but now that one's gone too...
Only via libreddit.hu
I still use reddit if I'm at my desktop which is rarely. Haven't touched it on mobile since the API change.
I don't. Since the beginning of this month, I only visited it 2 times where a Google search pointed out a post there, that is it. And even when it pop ups on the Google search result I tend to first check out other links.
boost for reddit has become unusable, many subs i frequent are still blackout. i have no real use for reddit any more, ill use the web client for google results when the sub i need isnt gone
this has done wonders for my social media addiction, more tjme spent with my friends on discord rather than doomscrolling reddit
Reddit is my place to check on news about the ongoing war. For some reason it wasn't banned in r*ssia and is availiable without vpns. Lots of exiles from other places joined subreddits there.
I don't feel like this blogosphere would move into fediverse. Occasionally, reddit became the right place for this.
There's a few things that I follow that do have communities here, but little to no engagement in those communities. I'll occasionally get on to look at those subreddits for updates, but I don't have an account anymore so I don't log in and I don't engage with the communities. I also use RES so they don't get any of my advertising revenue. Someone had linked a read only Reddit client before but I can't remember what it was, If anyone does remember let me know so I can switch to that.
Why is this pinned? And which apps let you block instances wholesale?
Yes but as Lemmy grows Iβll probably stop. Thereβs still some local subreddits that havenβt made the move. Since I donβt use Facebook, itβs the only way to get the local happenings.
A little bit, but I have been favoring Lemmy. If they kill old.reddit I'm out though.
I used to visit reddit for fun. Now I just check it if it comes up in a google search.
Use reddit? I still have my work account for when Google sends me there.
Visit Reddit? No.
My small 3rd string city's community is only like one guy on here, but it's active on there
Not completely, there are still some niche, non-technical communities that are probably never going to switch. I hope at some point they do, but still go once in a while to check. I donβt go daily like I used to, mostly do lemmy daily since the apps are getting so good now.
@001100010010 Nope, all gone. I used to browse daily via an app on my phone.
Nowdays I've setup my own lemmy instance, and typing "reddit" on my phone will launch jerboa instead, so that takes care of covering for the bad habbit :D
Only if my search engine gives a result for technical advice I need.
Rarely. Without RiF I legitimately hate reddit on mobile using old reddit. I'll lazily browse sometimes when I'm at a PC but it's super limited to topics I haven't found on here yet.
Only when googling stuff I sometime add site:reddit.com, but I am no longer browsing reddit on my phone. With the death of RIF and APIs I just can't stomach looking at the page.
And good bless old.reddit redirector plugin.
Yup. I never used any of the apps (always opened reddit through my mobile browser) so I wasn't affected that way. I am sympathetic to all the issues brought up, and I do really like the fediverse, but I don't think the users are here yet.
I like going to reddit to read about opinions or someone more knowledgeable than me talk about things. I find there's a lack of discussions in the fediverse at the moment for me, and maybe that's due to me having to curate my experience more. I don't know. But for now, yes, I still use it.
I still use reddit for an esports club sub and a couple games-specific subs. Most of the fan interaction of said esports club is via reddit, and the game subreddits are semi-official, so they didn't move over.
I left Reddit in early 2022 and never looked back.
Only if a search result organically takes me to something that happens to be on Reddit.
I do notice that a lot of the subs I find this way are now locked to 18+ (the SwiftUI sub) which means I have to login to view. Since I deleted my account thatβs a no go.
