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?

gkpy,

managed to shift my idle browsing here. though i was kind of weening off reddit slowly over the past years. with lemmy exploding it has brought back some of that feeling of exploring and looking for communities i was missing on reddit haha

sadly nebula.tv sends you to reddit for comments on their exclusives, that is one holdover that is also unlikely to go away…

Nah, I created a Lemmy account at the start of June (at least the Jerboa installation date says that) and uninstalled boost a few days later. Only checked in on Reddit from time to time with libreddit, to have a look at the John Oliver party.

I deleted or mass-edited all my comments and sent an GDPR request. Only thing left after that is the account deletion.

Didn’t want to give them any traffic anymore, so I avoided everything about it.

Intentionally, only when a search directs me to a Reddit thread. Unfortunately, it’s still a great resource in that regard.

Unintentionally, habit has me typing reddit.com before I realize what I’m doing. Otherwise, I try to stay here.

Nope. No interest.

wildcardology,

My reddit usage is 99% on Boost for reddit and 1% on web. Since Boost doesn’t work right anymore. I don’t use it 99% anymore.

Paws,

Exactly the same here. I’m eagerly awaiting the Boost for Lemmy app!

EtnaAtsume,

My usage pattern too. I did nip on today to post/rant on some calorie counting subs just because I valued a faster answer over a quality one.

No more reddit at all. I even blocked reddit on my search engine. Everyday lemmy as a service, the apps we use, and the content we see here are improving. It just takes time.

Fediverse is truly the last bastion we have against shit like twitter and reddit. Why do you think Threads will try to federate with us? its because they see the potential aswell. However we’ll see how that shakes up with almost everyone agreeing not to federate with them.

No I don’t, why would I when there’s Lemmy with all this fine people?

Thorny_Thicket,

For porn yeah but not for anything else. Been away for as long as my lemmy account is old

gunnm,

Still active on some niche communities that they don’t want to leave Reddit and only using it on desktop.

Only when I’m googling something that points to reddit. But even then not really as I’m using an extension that redirects all reddit links to their webarchive version.

i just check it twice a week

eldrichhydralisk,

Nope. I quit cold turkey on June 30 and haven’t been back. Well, not on purpose, at least. Sometimes a Google result sends me to Reddit, but when it loads I just close it and move to the next result. Lemmy works fine for everything I used Reddit for.

No. I only really use my phone for everything. It’s impossible to see the old website on mobile and the regular website is hot garbage, and somehow their app is even worse. There is no way for me to access Reddit and have a pleasant experience anymore.

Reddit basically forced me to go to Lemmy. I was mad at first, but now 3 weeks into it (1 week casual before the Baconreader died and then 2 weeks of redditesque addiction) I really don’t mind. There are some subs I really miss, but hopefully someone makes communities for them soon. (Malicious compliance and HobbyDrama are what immediately pop into my head)

Boiglenoight,

I don’t. I’ll find myself there occasionally because friends still do. I silently judge them as enablers of corporate scummery. I had been talking up Lemmy.world to the point of being insufferable and have stfu since it was hacked.
