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?

No

I lurk on my country's subreddit once a day through libreddit or on browser with ads blocked. I used to do that for a couple other small subs but I don't bother doing it as much anymore, I just check what's posted there like 1-2 times a week at this point

xuxebiko,

No.

Only when a link brings me there or though a ddg search. No more browsing.

I have even noticed that google (my search engine of choice) has been showing reddit links further down the page; they used to be at the top for most of my searches (linux, gaming, coding type stuff). Which is appropriate, because just the other day I found a reddit post via google that had my exact issue and clicking though to it, the person who answered the question (and got a "thanks that did it" from the OP) had deleted their comments.

ShadowRam,

Nope,

80% is bot reposts anyway.

I have an RSS subscription to r/ebookdeals and an account that was previously to keep nsfw browsing separate from main browsing and access that now is subscribed to r/modcoord and r/3rdpartyapps to watch the drama that I occasionally check in on once a week or so, but otherwise Lemmy is my regular browsing home.

Chariotwheel,

I look into niche communities that I can't find in a suitable way on the fediverse, but I don't engage anymore. No comments, no posting, no up- or downvotes, no gilding (lol). I am sitting on 17100 of these coins and I will watch them melt away when Reddit removes rewards.

FlyLikeAMouse,

I have a few RSS feeds of niche subreddits that I can’t find alternatives to, but I deleted my account on 30th June

Only if I’m researching something and the top results are Reddit links. Otherwise no.

rynzcycle,

I've clicked a few links about walkthrough questions for niche games, but deleted the app (yes, I used the official app) on the 12th and haven't logged in since. Kbin/Lemmy is great for content and I'm loving the interaction on Mastadon.

Kichae,

Eh, I still use it a little bit. I follow Blue Jays games via the team's subreddit, and the Pathfinder community hasn't really migrated over, so scan that every couple of days. And the memes have just clobbered my feed these last couple of days, even after blocking most of the meme groups.

But I'm using Reddit very differently now.

Psiczar,

Yes, but I’ve deleted all of my posts & comments.

I needed a tech question answered, and a Reddit post had the exact question I was asking, I clicked on it and the answer had been deleted.

The irony made me laugh.

Internet Archive to the rescue!

Psiczar,

You know, that is a bloody good idea, I ended up fixing my problem though.

Nope! Not once since the blackout began.

No

Version,

I usually check the subreddit redditmobile to see if they actually fixed the app.
