I stopped by once to double check my stuff was still deleted.
Yes, just a lot less because theres no app for it, so I only check it from a desktop PC instead of constantly the way I have in the past.
Maybe it's just me but the volume of interesting posts has fallen off a cliff after July 1st. The front page has much less activity and noticably more of it is reposts (which were there before, just a much higher ratio now).
The niche subreddits were always the key draw though, those still only exist on Reddit and nowhere else on the internet.
Occasionally, after seeing something in the news regarding Reddit, I will use libreddit.kavin.rocks to see if that news, or any other negative press is anywhere on r/all.
Most recently was about them removing rewards and coins, and prior to that was code in the app that appears to allude to a cash for karma reward system.
Just checked today and found out that they decided to rob all users of their coins.
Unfortunately some topic specific subs haven't made the jump to Lemmy yet, so for those I still have to check there occasionally
I still check some subs, like recent infos on the war in ukraine. And some others that have not catches up in terms of activity…
But it’s getting less and less. I also open Apollo less frequently, realising that it doesn’t work anymore
Yes and No.
Smaller communities with no equivalent, I'm there and still active. Technology, memes and world news, I'm here. But I'm also on other sites more again.
I occasionally poke my head in to see if it's dead yet, but other than that no.
I unsubbed from all reddits that don't support the resistance except for a few small ones. And I go to lemmy for most things
I do not at all. I’m avoiding even Google Search results that go to Reddit. I have not used Reddit since June 12, other than to fully wipe all of my accounts on June 30. I’ve moved on and it’s been an easier transition than I thought it would be.
Not really. Checked it a couple of times, but I'm sticking with Lemmy. Don't miss it, don't need it.
Literally just the HFY subreddit and looking for answers to questions about 3d printing etc.
I only go to reddit now if I look something up and get a link to it. I don’t go there to browse anymore.
I do, but not nearly as much. My reddit time when from a couple hours a day, to maybe 15 minutes here and there when I'm at a PC only. Even then, it's not as active. Only my local sub is because the community didn't migrate.
I deleted my profile, but of course I still land there sometimes from Google results
I've only touched Reddit when it comes up when I google something. Haven't used it for anything else for the past month or so.
I still check out a couple hobby subs every day or two (via mobile browser, not the app). And if I'm looking for a certain type of information or advice, im still typing "[info desired] reddit" into google.
Yes, mostly for sharing content here.
I made a private LibReddit instance so I can still get the news from specific communities that aren't elsewhere.
Occasionally. From my desktop. Not really from my phone anymore. I like lemmy well enough but there still isn't as much content especially for niche subjects.
only for 1 subreddit, 1001albumsgenerator. i have unfinished business there
I do because there are a lot of valuable infos, but I 'm deliberately not voting and commenting.
Yes, I will only switch when this link,
/c/knitting
Shows every post to /c/knitting on every instance, in chronological order. Without having to subscribe to every instance, without having to create multireddit equivalent.
Just give me lemmyverse's entire /c/knitting
Only to check /r/canadapublicservants and /r/urf, otherwise I'm avoiding it. Unfortunately it still is often one of the best sites in search results
I still use it for dinner subs that moved over to lemmy, but couldn't grow much. Like 40klore.
I had a web result that the result I was looking for was on Reddit. I guess that's technically using it, but I wasn't logged in and didn't touch anything. It still counts as a visitor though, and I'm disappointed in that.
Literally have not been back since I decided to leave before the blackout.
Considering incised to spen hours a day s rolling that place, I haven't missed it and just moved on. 12years or more I was a regular contributor and viewer and quit cold turkey style :)
About 85% of my reddit browsing had been on pretty niche subs, so I'm still using reddit to engage in those communities (of those that haven't shut down). I'm trying to contribute to the equivalents here too, but the engagement is still on reddit for now.
The other 15% was just the occasional trip to /r/all to see if there was anything interesting going on there, to which the answer was usually... no. That's pretty much been replaced by here now.
lemmy has completely replaced reddit for me ngl, it's pretty much the same experience, for me at least, and I actually like it here more, people are more engaging and I got 100+ upvotes on a post for the FIRST TIME!
honestly I don't see myself going back, I will miss finding a niche sub and having enough content there for me to scroll for hours but hey, we'll get there too eventually!
I’m currently in the process of replacing Reddit with Lemmy. I’m keeping Reddit for the sole purpose of being linked there from Google Results and until I get used to Lemmy, how it works, and find communities that are relevant to me.
I do find Lemmy interesting in how , despite being in an instance, you can still see posts from other instances and such. I am still getting used to it, so will keep Reddit around until I am completely accustomed to it.
Someone linked mlmym.org
which mimics oldreddit... I feel at home now.
I go back to check hometown sub once or twice a day. if I go to the front page, I only make it through about half before I realize what I'm doing and switch. Quite honestly, it feels poisonous. Whatever algorithm they have my brain has decided it can live without.
I was searching for a fix for some MS bullshit and clicked on a link that had a good answer... and lo and behold, Reddit. "Came for the cats, stayed for the empathy." Yes, they still have that on the banner. Lol!!
I deleted my account during the "strike", and this was my first time back. I couldn't upvote the poster, and for a second that made me sad.
I used reddit pretty much exclusively on my phone through the Boost app. When that went dark, I didn't really feel the need to go out of my way to download a far worse app, so I stopped checking reddit.
I do, but not nearly as much. Probably spend about half the time if not less then before Apollo went down. Opening up GitHub to check on Voyager updates probably as often as I am opening up Reddit.
I blocked it at the router, so nowadays I don't use it unless there's an article I really need to access
Yeah, Lemmy doesn't have everyone over from Reddit.
I have pretty much stopped.
It’s not usable on my phone and now searches are basically buggered with a number of subreddits being nsfw. So for example I was searching something specific to pop_os and can’t view the thread. Just closed it. Will block Reddit returns in Kagi now most likely.
I think there may have been a day or two where I looked at it for a few minutes in the browser at work over the past couple of weeks.
I have not gone to Reddit just to "use reddit" since discovering lemm.ee a couple weeks ago. Sometimes still end up on specific threads through search results, especially for obscure stuff on older video games.
Only in read only mode.
After everything went down and Sync stopped, my usage dropped considerably. I was still using Joey and Infinity for light browsing, but I haven't really browsed Reddit in about a week and have been on Lemmy and Kbin exclusively. I feel more engaged here too.
Browsing Reddit just seemed different, like the quality of posts and comments dropped considerably.
