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?

Never really used it that much and I’ve been much more active in Lemmy than ever in Reddit.

However, if I have problem that need a quick answer, I usually search Reddit. This in not because it is somehow amazing, but because Google searches suck nowadays. Typing Reddit into the search query usually brings out the answer I need instantly.

I just did some searching for the best grind size settings for my Aeropress. Some of the search results led to Reddit, I clicked on them and felt a bit dirty lol. Funnily enough a few of results still led to private groups. Reddit will still be a source of information about niche topics. Let’s hope Lemmy becomes that source instead…

Gsus4,

I visit some subs occasionally on old reddit, but have never logged in again. Fuck u/spez.

vegetarian_pacemaker,

Have I visted reddit, yes. Do I use it? No. I have grown to love lemmy. Disconnecting from a hyper charged, conterversy seeking website has done me good!

Lucidlethargy,

I do not. I thought I would… I even told people such even as I supported the good fight. But, no… I haven’t been back.

I guess I’m actually pissed off enough to not give incompetent, shithole billionaires and millionaires that extra win.

AnonStoleMyPants,

Yeah I check hydroponics subs occasionally.

RinseDrizzle,

Not really since RIF is RIP. I do miss some extra content from niche communities, but I’m hoping Lemmy will grow enough to fill those gaps. Reddit was also a big news source, but I’ll be hitting other news outlets until Lemmy gets there too.

Here’s hoping Lemmy will be able to scratch my various music and art itches enough. No interest in going back to reddit these days though. The site I knew and loved over the last decade+ is no more. It’s sucked seeing it devolve over the years. Feels a lot like when everyone’s mom got facebook.

ShustOne,

This is literally the same as me. I’m trying to contribute to niche communities here to help drive engagement.

AnonStoleMyPants,

Yeah I check hydroponics subs occasionally.

Maybe once a week? To check on some specific subs, but I revert back to my old lurker ways when I’m there and never contribute.

Carter,

My usage just plummeted off a cliff after creating a Lemmy account. Infinity for Reddit is still working at the moment but I don’t even have the app on my home screen anymore so I rarely open it.

bluemix,

No

Ima be honest, I deleted my reddit account before even creating this lemmy account

cashews_best_nut,

Nope, in fact after trying the super delete Suite (failed) I’m creating my own userscript to delete all my old comments. Once it’s finished later today I’ll post about it on Lemmy for others to use.

15yr old account dead and banned. The only time I check out Reddit is to look at the Western Europeans taking the piss out of each other on 2westerneuropean4u.

TimeIntegrated,

Not really. I think I visited twice this month - pop in to see someone’s comments page and some small sub. Nowadays if google sends me to Reddit, I just view the cached version.

For me, it’s still convinient for asking specific questions. The niche communities were filled with people knowing their stuff so the archives are filled with very reflected opinions and knowledge. For example, if I’m about to, say, buy a cooking knife, I’d google “best cooking knife reddit” and there I have it. Without that I’d be stuck with “top 10 cooking knifes articles” which may be influenced by knife companies wanting to promote their product. Of course I could ask that question here too, but I’d have to wait for an answer and those I would get would only be a fragment of what I’m still be able to find in reddits archives. But for everything else I’m very happy here
