Be honest, do you still use reddit?

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 made a private LibReddit instance so I can still get the news from specific communities that aren’t elsewhere.

oSillyScope,

Nope. Deleted my account and moved in at sh.itjust.works signed in on jerboa and never looked back.

lfr1138,

I still look, but mostly to: a) Keep up with the Oakland Athletics fan protest efforts as the A’s sub is where that really got coordinated with the larger community b) Try to figure out if some of the oddball subs I am on there and enjoyed have equivalents here, on the Matrix, Telegraph, etc.

I feel like I will kill my account there once those things are resolved enough to make Reddit fully pointless for me.

rmuk,

No. I went cold turkey in mid-June. I logged back in last week to use Power Delete Suite to automatically edit every post and comment I ever made to this and then deleted my account.

I’ll still use Reddit read-only and with cookies blocked if I stumble upon (ahahaha) it through a search or something.

Are you trying to trick people into clicking on reddit? /j

jerebear205,

Just for the porn tbh.

chilly_pupper,

The mobile app Geddit is good for this on Android. You can browse without being signed in and it gets around the nsfw API restrictions because it’s just scraping the website.

jmp242,

You know, of all the things to use reddit for - porn never occurred to me. It’s not like there aren’t literally thousands of dedicated sites for that…

jerebear205,

It’s the social aspect that is pretty fun, filled the void caused by Tumblr nuking NSFW stuff. I had both a swf and nswf account if that makes a difference, I didn’t use reddit just for porn…

Tb0n3,

I haven’t “used” it in 8 years, but I will from time to time look at buildapcsales or gamedeals. No posting or logging in though.

Joe_0237,

no

taiyang,

Yeah, briefly, but the quality has dropped and I usually just switch back to Lemmy since it feels different. Also, only until Infinity for Reddit stops working; no idea why it still works but it’s a matter of time.

I haven’t been back on Reddit since shortly before July 1. I enjoy the vibe here right and the novelty of something new hasn’t worn off yet.

Some subreddits I was more into like Destiny 2’s and Diablo 4 don’t seem as busy here so I have a feeling I may need to lurk over there still from time to time.

I do, but not nearly as much as Lemmy.

I used to go to reddit for everything. To scroll aimlessly, just to look at aesthetic photos, to read stories…I even had a multi reddit for text based subs, and a third party app on my watch so I could read text based reddit posts at work.

Now, I only go to reddit if i need the resources of a specific sub (earlier i had a question about an app so i went to their sub to browse and see if there was any advice) or if i’m cross posting content to lemmy to get my communities going.

when i just want to scroll and see what’s new, ive been coming straight to lemmy every time.

i’m really trying to interact more too.

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.

Same here. I’m not actively browsing or looking for information from Reddit, but if it’s unavoidable, then so be it. I can’t ignore the wealth of information still there.

ShoePaste,
@ShoePaste@lemmy.ml avatar

yes, but only for specific content. my city and state have a very active subs that just hasn’t really taken off on Lemmy yet. there’s a lot of news from both that i can’t get anywhere else. similarly i’m pretty active on r/dmacademy and there just isn’t a community on lemmy that i’ve found that is similar yet. i think when those communities take off here i’ll finally cut the cord on reddit.

ManosTheHandsOfFate,
@ManosTheHandsOfFate@lemmy.world avatar

Ditto. These smaller locality subs are unlikely to take off on lemmy IMO. I think reddit would have to shut down before people would look for an alternative.

ShoePaste,
@ShoePaste@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah, probably right unfortunately

Only for one community and only occasionally (like once every 3 days or so, I check the news, learn new stuff and move on). Oh, and today I was there to request all my data.

I did until they killed joey today. Now I have no reason to go back.
