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 check in on my university subreddit from time to time but that's about it

[-] Alex@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago

I only visit reddit if I google something and a reddit thread about the problem pops up in the results. Otherwise, I'm completely off reddit.

[-] StoicLime@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

I do. My usage has gone down in half, as blue I have Lemmy and the vibes here are nice and I like the concept but it still doesn't come close to Reddit in terms of content and niche subreddits.

[-] EphTen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I do not. I stopped using it the day they announced the API changes, and I deleted my account the following day.

I'm not using reddit as a daily driver, but I visit it when I'm looking for answers.

[-] Glide@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

I was following it for the drama involving the blackouts. I logged in today and started browsing around, and can't help but wonder if it's recently become even more polarized and radicalized with regards to absurd, hateful opinions, or if my bias' against it are making it look that way.

Either way, the experience made me feel gross, and it occurred to me that I just don't want to be there anymore.

Nah. This is my shitpost home now.

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Nope, in fact after trying the super delete Suite (failed) I'm creating my own userscript to delete all my old comments. Once it's finished later today I'll post about it on Lemmy for others to use.

15yr old account dead and banned. The only time I check out Reddit is to look at the Western Europeans taking the piss out of each other on 2westerneuropean4u.

[-] TomaTomaToma@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Only if it is a google result. I still have sync app installed :(

Removed reddit bookmarks and apps and went all in on Lemmy, haven't touched Reddit.

[-] ATiredPhilosopher@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Negative - occasionally I'll find something on Google but I search for other options before resorting to Reddit haha.

No I dont't actually.

[-] Gili@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mainly using Lemmy. Was recently trying to migrate all of the Subreddits to Lemmy. Still have ReVanced Sync for Reddit installed, and Relay. Reddit has many more communities that I'm afraid Lemmy won't get to see, perhaps because the audience just uses the default Reddit app, but I'm hopeful. Even for Subreddits that moved to Lemmy, I feel like I get to see more content that I'm interested in, in the same period of time, even if I change the sorting. I usually see different content if I reopen any Reddit app, but Lemmy often shows me mostly the same posts for a day or so.

[-] dubyakay@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I've stopped using reddit, unless I need to search for historic content related to some tech gadget or something. And then only on desktop/laptop.

I've subbed to audible and kindle unlimited and been happier since.

[-] NukeminHerttua@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Never really used it that much and I've been much more active in Lemmy than ever in Reddit.

However, if I have problem that need a quick answer, I usually search Reddit. This in not because it is somehow amazing, but because Google searches suck nowadays. Typing Reddit into the search query usually brings out the answer I need instantly.

[-] scorpiosrevenge@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Nah deleted my acct like a month ago

[-] LebruhJame@geddit.social 5 points 1 year ago

I just got here

[-] letsgo@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Only for the naughty stuff. I've unsubbed from everything on my main account and haven't logged in for ages, but not gone as far as deleting my messages (can't be arsed, tbh). Lemmy's Naughty Stuff For Wankers isn't quite where Reddit's is yet but it's getting up there.

[-] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I purged every post I had made over the years before walking away. Haven't looked back. Fuck'em.

[-] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

A bit. Not much, but a bit.

Lemmy is still missing some things I enjoyed from Reddit, things I can't just snap my fingers and create here by typing a name into the "create community" page.

I'm not bothered by it. The transition will happen in time. Rome wasn't built in a day. Etc.

[-] Raverbunny@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Not since Boost stopped working

[-] phoukas@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I still do, but only read a few nosleep stories on my mobile browser before bed. If I had another option for spooky stories from indie authors I would quit completely.

[-] ChaoticDucc@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I still use Reddit, but have used it significantly less. I am experimenting with alternatives like Lemmy.

[-] RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

My daily reddit use has dropped by an order of magnitude. Now I just subscribe to a few subreddit RSS feeds that I skim through once a day, and that's pretty much it. If I really feel compelled to post something, I'll begrudgingly grab my laptop and head to old.reddit ... we'll see how long that lasts.

[-] fing3r@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Not since the blackout, no.

[-] dan@upvote.au 5 points 1 year ago

I'm mostly just using it for subreddits that don't have an equivalent Lemmy community yet.

[-] wholemilk@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I don't. I thought I would miss it a lot, but after replacing rif with lemmy and a few other apps I haven't really been thinking about reddit recently.

[-] Reddit_Is_Trash@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago

I'm the same way now, I used to use reddit daily.

Now, I only use it when I have question, I still google "my question" reddit.

All the time. Still getting my feet wet with lemmy

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 year ago

Very rarely. If it's a terminally online day and I run out of content I might go on reddit.

[-] Redredme@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

The moment sync died, my engagement with it died.

It's sad, it was great.

But... It is the way he wants it... Well.. He gets it. I don't like it anymore then you do.

Only when a general search brings me to it. I no longer scroll it or actively choose to visit.

[-] MythicWolf@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I deleted all my posts and comments, most of my accounts and the official app. I’ve been maybe twice in the past few weeks because of search results. Before it was numerous times a day. Most of the subs I followed moved elsewhere and the Reddit stuff I get second hand via BORU’s discord

[-] Monkeyclock1234@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Now and again I jump on for niche information for my hobbies. But only on desktop, and only on old.reddit.com

[-] MasseR@pleroma.rauhala.info 4 points 1 year ago

@001100010010
I still have my account, but I dropped all the apps and am no longer logged in in any of my browsers. I also still have some reddit rss feeds

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 they’ve 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. I’ve found though using voyager on my mobile devices and skimming lemmy aimlessly my need for “content” is wholly satisfied.

[-] Cyreld@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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)

[-] Logical@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Since I started using Lemmy, not much. I am mostly on here now.

[-] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Maybe once a week? To check on some specific subs, but I revert back to my old lurker ways when I’m there and never contribute.

[-] Phantom_Engineer@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but with RedReader. There's a few niche subs I like that aren't well-established here yet.

[-] bluemix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago
[-] nefonous@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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)
