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?

MildlyIncorrect,

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.

Reddit_Is_Trash,

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.

I’m mad every time i open that shitty app…god it’s bad compared to apollo

Reddit_Is_Trash,

I don’t have any reddit apps on my phone anymore.

If I go to reddit it’s through my browser with U-Block on, and I deleted my accounts so they gain nothing from me visiting.

Duamerthrax,

Tech support searches sometime bring me back, but I haven’t really been back otherwise since the boycott started.

MostlyGibberish,

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.

StarkillerX42,

Relay still works for me, same with Infinity. I’m maybe 50/50 right now. There’s a lot of smaller communities that will be hard to grow here, but the big ones are just as good.

Reddit is so frustrating to use without Boost so not really.

jjjalljs,

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

MrsDoyle,

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.

Naia,

I I still use it on desktop since I can still use the old design and I run several layers of adblock.

On mobile I basically never use it now unless a search result forces me to it. Lemmy needs work, but I’ve gotten it to a usable state in mobile.

I really home Baconreader makes a lemmy version because that was the only way I used reddit mobile.

5in1k,

Yes, I’m using Lemmy on my phone but on my lunch at work and stuff on my computer it’s Reddit still. I am evangelizing Lemmy though.

All the time. Still getting my feet wet with lemmy

in2thesame,

I completely stopped using it.

leapingleopard,

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.

Crazypartypony,

I really used reddit to lurk and scroll when I was bored. If I can’t use the app I’m used to, there is no reason for me to return. Especially with the way they have been treating the community, I havent been back for about 3 weeks. I downloaded a lemmy app and put that in the same spot as rif was, and I havent looked back.

daruksrevenge,

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.
