Lemmy still has some issues that need to be addressed for it to fully replace Reddit for my needs
Be honest, do you still use reddit?
Nope. Not once since June 12th.
If I do a web search I'll still go to reddit if it as a useful thread but I don't actively go on it.
No
Yeah unfortunately. There are some subs that haven't migrated over yet and some subs that are active that have really useful info for me (school, language learning, etc.)
Nope, not at all. Uninstalled weeks ago. Actively avoid in search results. Had been subconsciously looking to move on for a long time. See ya later, better things to do and places to be.
Stopped using on June 30, deleted content. Nuked account on July 9 (10th cake day).
Need a replacement for r/xwingtmg and come October, hopefully c/anes will be as game day active as r/canes, but fuck Spez.
I am surprised how little I miss Reddit after June. I realised I was really dependent on RIF. I downloaded an RSS app instead (Inoreader) and followed some subs that I used to frequent. I check it once every few days as opposed to many times a day before the collapse.
Nah, sometimes google tries to make me enter but I just scroll a lil more and use any other result.
I pretty much only use it to add at the end of a google search. I feel like lemmy might be lacking in hits if I tried that
I've popped over a couple times too see what floats to the top of all (or whatever it is that's displayed when you don't log in), and a couple more times when I did a search and Reddit's answers were part of the results set. But I honestly can't be missing that much since every other soc media site I look at has at least half of their threads linking back to something that originated on Reddit.
I clicked by accident on a few links on Feddit that lead to Reddit (people should post archive links instead) and closed the site without reading immediately, otherwise I am clean since I made this account on June 12. I do still miss Reddit a bit, but I will not go back, no matter what the site does. I also reduced my online time drastically which is doing wonders for my mental health and how much I get done in my household.
I have reduced my usage by about 90%. The hockey community here is just not active enough for my hockey news needs.
No. Haven't touched it since they killed 3rd-party apps and don't intend to (exception are Google search results, though I use Teddit as a frontend there.
Nope! Not once since the blackout began.
Nope. Left as soon as Apollo ended.
Only went back to transfer all my subscriptions using the Voyager tool - found under settings “migrate subreddits”.
On June 29 I used a different tool to delete all my posts on Reddit. I’m leaving my empty account there as a form of protest.
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.
Hadn’t been in 3 days besides accidentally opening Apollo. I’m going to stop by one of these days and edit and delete my comments and posts.
I go there just to read about the state of affairs regarding Reddit itself.
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.
no. I mostly used Reddit from mobile, and since Apollo went down, I just used it once from my laptop to find a link. Other than that, 100% lemmy using Wefwef.
I stopped entirely. When I draw a fanart of something I'll post it, but I haven't drawn any fanart recently.
Mostly using libreddit, when I need to refer to a specific thread. Otherwise, most of my browsing is in Lemmy.
Also, feel free to have a look at the search function on the sidebar, this question has been asked quite a lot lately, such as https://lemmy.ml/post/1846338
No.
Purged all my posts and comments, deleted my 12-year-old account (65k+ karma) and uninstalled Boost. Now I only go there occasionally from search results.
I think I'm like most people here on this one. I avoid Reddit unless I absolutely need to find an answer to a question that can only be solved by a random saint from, like, 5 years ago
Since deleting my account the only times I've been on it were when a search for a solution led me to it. So like 5 times.
No. I've completely switched to lemmy and couldn't be happier. I'm actually surprised by how much I don't miss reddit, I thought it would be tougher to break out
Yeah, there are a few subs that haven't made the transition.
Haven't commented on a single post since I wiped my account. I check the news and world news subreddits and then move on.
only for 1 subreddit, 1001albumsgenerator. i have unfinished business there
I have a few RSS feeds of niche subreddits that I can’t find alternatives to, but I deleted my account on 30th June
Only if I'm researching something and the top results are Reddit links. Otherwise no.
I’ve been there a couple of times from random search results. Haven’t browsed it since July 30th and honestly, I’m kinda surprised how little I care that I left.
Only if a Google search points me to an answer to a specific problem.
Only for superstonk and wallstreetbets. I find the fediverse including Mastodon enough for me. I was never a Twitter guy, but I created a Mastodon account on Infosec and it's amazing the knowledge and people you can find out there.
No
I’ve only popped in to check on a drama once since.
Lemmy is working for me. There’s less content and commenting but it’s noticeably picking up in the last few days.
I slowed down when the announcement was made about third party apps. I quit entirely when RIF turned off. Now I participate here, started my own community, contribute to others as much as I can, and finally figured out how to host my own instance. It's been fun seeing it grow slowly.
I still visit about 3 sub-reddits, all on a browser with ad-block, and I completely avoid commenting, I probably should start using libreddit. Haven't touched the front page since the initial blackout
