I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don't look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I'd go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I got my uBlock Origin ready to kill all the ads. That shitty website will not get a cent out of me.

What about you? Do you still use reddit?

I go there through Tedit sometimes when info I need comes up in a search, but I haven't logged in or browsed the site directly since the API protest blackout.

Weird how I seem to have more free time now. Must be a coincidence.

Yes, only for fap purposes.

Sometimes. I'm very active on Reddit before the Reddit API change. I have moved to Lemmy since. Since Reddit is blocked in Indonesia, I usually use it as a secondary platform. I just checked it once in a while when using a VPN or using DNS-on-HTTPS.

[-] jeanofthedead@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, but when I go to my multireddits, it's a barren desert of absolute n00bs asking questions that can be googled in five seconds. Makes me really miss what it used to be. I hope Lemmy gets more engagement.

[-] Rakn@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes. But instead of spending ever free minute on it I'll only check it once or maybe twice a day.

Most communities I cared about feel less lively. Except for maybe two or three.

[-] DeeBeeDouble@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

No, I do not. Except when I'm looking for something and reddit is the only place where I can find my answers. But that rarely happens.

[-] Rouxibeau@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Scrammed and deleted all comments and got accounts banned [for saying fuck u/spez].

I only lurk a few places that don't exist here in a meaningful way. Discovery is harder here and desktop socks without RES.

[-] selfreferentialname@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, unfortunately. I'm trying to switch over fully but there's still some subreddits that I can't replicate on Lemmy. I'll be off once I get alternatives to all the snake, big cat, and bird subs that I use to look at cool animals, though. iNaturalist just isn't as browsable.

[-] TerranExpat@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I haven't posted in years, but there is still so much content there. Now though without my favourite app (Joey) I probably will go there less. Even less when they disable old.reddit.com.

[-] loom_in_essence@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, there are a few subs that haven't made the transition.

Not since July 1st…. For a few days I was refreshing google and yahoo news habitually but so glad I finally found lemmy

I'm trying to stay away and I do feel like there is a reasonable chance I might be able to.
I recently subscribed to a Lemmy "self-hosted" and "asklemmy" group and content is starting to trickle in real good.

Mostly I feel it's a matter of consolidating Lemmy groups with the same topics into super-groups. This should help with general useability as well as making things more friendly for people moving over from Reddit.
Federation support for other Fediverse products towards Lemmy also will need some work still.

Totally off reddit. I have seamlessly replaced one with the other.

[-] Resistentialism@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I do. But only when I absolutely need to. I kind of miss the uk motorbike dub. But, eh, that's just life.

If I do need to use it. I go firefox with ghostery, and Ublock origin. But that's only because, if I search for a problem, reddit usually has it. If it asks me to use the mobile app, then, I can always just tell Firefox to use the desktop site, and I haven't had an issue with that yet.

[-] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Haven't commented on a single post since I wiped my account. I check the news and world news subreddits and then move on.

[-] lacarsi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, but I've realised that I go in less and less.

[-] tylerthehuman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

i still scroll a little bit. a few subs with content i cant really get anywhere else. tbh the content on lemmy is very bare so i’ll scroll twitter more…

[-] stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 1 year ago

Only when I search for something and there is a result from reddit, I read that and only that one. Otherwise, no.
