I go to check specific subreddits but I'm no longer a daily user
I use it to check anime episode discussions, it will probably get worse with time but its the only place I trust to read the comments. Also I still put reddit at the end of the search bar cuz the internet right now is just so full of useless articles about everything
Absolutely not. I have not logged in once since the day the protest started.
I do, but I'm trying to quit
Basically my heart is here now and this is where I come for social media , that does not mean I will not use reddit from time to time , but those times are getting less and less, my main reason to use reddit now is to promote lemmy. To give a better idea I spent probably an hour a day on reddit or two or three visits. Now I have not visited for over a week and recent visits have been a few minutes.
I told myself I would leave gradually but in reality I'm never over there anymore. Its just so annoying and slow to not be able to use RIF.
Meanwhile the fediverse is so new and interesting and way more friendly.
Yes, I'm using Lemmy on my phone but on my lunch at work and stuff on my computer it's Reddit still. I am evangelizing Lemmy though.
I really used reddit to lurk and scroll when I was bored. If I can't use the app I'm used to, there is no reason for me to return. Especially with the way they have been treating the community, I havent been back for about 3 weeks. I downloaded a lemmy app and put that in the same spot as rif was, and I havent looked back.
I am lurking and watching the dumpster fire at this point , reddit went full Authoritarian on Dndmemes and sacked a bunch of cool mods because we turned it into a goblin porn subreddit for the shutdown/blackout and the admins did not like that... so I am posting here now and watching Reddit burn in the distance.
Yeah, but with RedReader. There's a few niche subs I like that aren't well-established here yet.
I think its been almost a month, since I intentionally went to Reddit. More than 3 weeks anyway.
I do for a few communities where I want news updates that doesn't seem to have anything comparable here yet.
Other than that though, I try to limit any mindless scrolling to lemmy (managed to cut that down a lot)
On June 30 I deleted my two accounts, ran a script to change all my comments to say the account was deleted in protest (to limited success, and Im sure theyβve probably been reverted by now) and have only been back since twice due to a tech support question only having a google indexed answer easily available on Reddit.
I am no longer actively engaging with that platform. Iβve found though using voyager on my mobile devices and skimming lemmy aimlessly my need for βcontentβ is wholly satisfied.
Got a couple niche subs I still check once in a while. Otherwise I don't read reddit anymore nor do I comment and vote.
Maybe once a week using RiF ReVanced for
- Checking two small subreddit
- Delete comments that haven't been visible anymore but now are again (because I deleted newer comments, now the older ones starting to appear again)
I use it for two things: checking out protest stuff and checking the only subreddit (it's a small one) that's actually keeping me on Reddit.
I do, but only to support FOSS users in some communities that are not here [yet]. There is no opnsense community here in Lemmy, so when I see questions there in reddit, I help where I can.
However, my "bio" or whatever it is called in reddit, clearly states that I have moved to Lemmy permanently.
I am actually considering creating a opnsense community here and hoping that Franco will come and join, and take over ownership.
Nope, nothing proprietary on my watch.
Sometimes for fixes and stuff but not much anyomore
Haven't been there since the blackout, don't miss it. I've always gone there with desktop browser running uBO so I never did see adds there except for inline stuff once in a while. That's one nice thing about Lemmy, looks exactly the same whether the blocker is on or off.
I completely switched to lemmy for my random scrolling. But the main community for a game is still there so sometimes I keep lurking that subreddit only (exclusively from pc)
Redreader is still working.
Cold turkey. I trad an interesting crosspost back-and-forth about the new gold deprecation thing, but other than that, no. οΏΌ
I've looked maybe a handful of times over the past couple weeks, mostly to look at /r/modcoord and /r/save3rdpartyapps. Even then, I used libreddit. Other than that, I've not visited for really any other reason.
Lemmy + Mastodon is doing a good enough job being my daily time waster. There's definitely less content here but I am but one man, it's not like I could go through all of Reddit's bot-generated daily content anyway.
Some of the specific communities are there but not here or barely alive here (like my phone's brand) so I'm visiting them from PC. Spez gets no moni because I'm always using unblock there though
Logged out, sometimes I use rif to check on some subreddits.
Not going to delete my 9 year old account because if I do that they will keep all the comments.
I don't browse it (I have a redirector rule that links me right out of Reddit), but if I need to access it for something, I just tack on old.
as a bypass.
I just did some searching for the best grind size settings for my Aeropress. Some of the search results led to Reddit, I clicked on them and felt a bit dirty lol. Funnily enough a few of results still led to private groups. Reddit will still be a source of information about niche topics. Let's hope Lemmy becomes that source instead...
no
Yeah I check hydroponics subs occasionally.
No, I uninstalled Boost and Infinity about a month ago and haven't looked back.
Yes, but much less than I used to. When I donβt have a particular goal in mind and just want to doomscroll a bit, I find myself checking Lemmy first, and only if I run out of things to read, which I usually donβt, do I move on to Reddit.
There are still some niche communities that are active on Reddit and not here. So I do still go over there on purpose for those.
No, I have a couple small communities that I have pull into an RSS reader that still works somehow, but I stay logged out and never comment. 12 year account with 29k karma and I quit cold turkey and mostly went back to RSS feeds.
I only use it when googling questions that I know reddit has the answer for. And I hate it the whole time. I spend only enough time on there to get my answer then immediately close the web page. Call me silly or what you will, but I personally want to give as little interaction with that website as possible now. Fuck u/spez
As for the drama, I subscribe to a couple Lemmy instances that share the drama through Lemmy, that way I can be in the loop without having to be on the actual website.
So, personally i'm done wirh reddit. But i still go there every once in a while to target about ten very specific subs which aren't even remotely replicated in the fediverse for the foreseable future. See, there's this chatgroup i maintain with my not so ultra tech savvy parents and a handful of goofy dog/cat/bird videos a day brightens their work days with a minute of joy. They would never browse reddit or even the fediverse and this tradition came at basically no "extra cost" since i scrolled reddit any day anyways. Now i don't want to stop bettering their lives out of my idealism against reddit so i bite the bullet for now. I'm not engaging in reddit anymore, just go straight to some subs and that's about it. Since this is content often posted by casual users very much like my parents i doubt we will see a big influx of this kind of content in the fediverse any time soon, if ever. So yeah, i still go there.
i still go on it. but i am migrating from reddit
Just check nsfw but images hosted by Reddit that are NSFW are slow to load and seem to have been slow for quite a while, so my rate at which I check it tapered from few times a day to now once or twice a month
I only go to reddit now if I look something up and get a link to it. I donβt go there to browse anymore.
Almost never.
Sometimes when I need to troubleshoot or am looking for specific information, then I will add reddit. It still shines there.
But don't have a login anymore and I don't visit daily. Lemmy has become my main now.
Hadnβt been in 3 days besides accidentally opening Apollo. Iβm going to stop by one of these days and edit and delete my comments and posts.
I donβt have Apollo anymore so I donβt go to Reddit anymore from mobile, but i use it from time to time on desktop
I have not used it since some time in early June.
I have technically logged into my account -- but only because I've opened Relay Pro. In spite of everything, it appears to still update everything, and the last app patch update message I saw said that they had implemented changes to reduce API usage (this after July 1).
But I haven't interacted with reddit beyond that, and I don't plan to. It's not about anger at reddit anymore either -- I actively like Lemmy better. It reminds me of old reddit.
I logged in once to look up something I had saved, but the mobile site is so irritating to use I gave up.
