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 do, but only to support FOSS users in some communities that are not here [yet]. There is no opnsense community here in Lemmy, so when I see questions there in reddit, I help where I can.

However, my “bio” or whatever it is called in reddit, clearly states that I have moved to Lemmy permanently.

I am actually considering creating a opnsense community here and hoping that Franco will come and join, and take over ownership.

StoicLime,

I do. My usage has gone down in half, as blue I have Lemmy and the vibes here are nice and I like the concept but it still doesn’t come close to Reddit in terms of content and niche subreddits.

MartinXYZ,

I’ve visited a couple of times. My preferred app (relay) is still working, but I’m guessing I’ll jump ship completely once relay is affected, Lemmy has mostly replaced my Reddit habits anyway.

When I need to find a specific answer on a topic and a Google search brings me to a Reddit thread, yes. Otherwise, Lemmy and Discord have replaced my Reddit addiction

How do you find more discord servers? I randomly started being a bit more active in a random one from a simulator I use, and I’m enjoying it more than I thought, but not sure how to find more communities.

The Discord public server browser is pretty bad, Disboard.org is a better server browser that has more servers and filtering options. A lot of YouTubers and online groups will have their own discord servers as well, which you can typically find with some digging (a ton of subreddits had official discord servers long before all the current drama started for example)

Thanks! I think I just need to set an hour aside to try to think of things like this, YouTube channels are a good one, I do follow a lot of stuff related to my hobbies/profession there.

That’s what I miss from Lemmy so far, none of the niche things I’m into are really represented yet.

LiamMayfair,

Nope, I stopped browsing Reddit the moment they killed RIF. Now I only get on it if it has the answer to something I googled.

nailbar,

Yea with RIF gone I’m in the same boat.

I might stray there on desktop at work, and maybe for something specific on mobile via old.reddit.com, but other than that, Lemmy is where I’m at.

I won’t login to Reddit any more.

Redredme,

The moment sync died, my engagement with it died.

It’s sad, it was great.

But… It is the way he wants it… Well… He gets it. I don’t like it anymore then you do.

I don’t browse it (I have a redirector rule that links me right out of Reddit), but if I need to access it for something, I just tack on old. as a bypass.

oranges,

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 :)

Gestrid,

I use it for two things: checking out protest stuff and checking the only subreddit (it’s a small one) that’s actually keeping me on Reddit.

hansdampf,

since baconreader no longer works i stopped using reddit. only time i visited was because of a duckduckgo search result

opux030,

I open the app out of muscle memory a few times a day, infinity still works somehow, but most of my subs have been closed/dead now anyway so not really.

Morphior,

No, I uninstalled Boost and Infinity about a month ago and haven’t looked back.

chk232,

Logged out, sometimes I use rif to check on some subreddits.

Not going to delete my 9 year old account because if I do that they will keep all the comments.

nefonous,

I completely switched to lemmy for my random scrolling. But the main community for a game is still there so sometimes I keep lurking that subreddit only (exclusively from pc)

Logical,

Since I started using Lemmy, not much. I am mostly on here now.
