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?

Same here. I’m not actively browsing or looking for information from Reddit, but if it’s unavoidable, then so be it. I can’t ignore the wealth of information still there.

Only for one community and only occasionally (like once every 3 days or so, I check the news, learn new stuff and move on). Oh, and today I was there to request all my data.

I did until they killed joey today. Now I have no reason to go back.

I created an new account just to advertise lemmy/kbin

diskmaster23,

Yes, mostly for sharing content here.

ThaijsClan,

I only use it when googling questions that I know reddit has the answer for. And I hate it the whole time. I spend only enough time on there to get my answer then immediately close the web page. Call me silly or what you will, but I personally want to give as little interaction with that website as possible now. Fuck u/spez

As for the drama, I subscribe to a couple Lemmy instances that share the drama through Lemmy, that way I can be in the loop without having to be on the actual website.

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.

ConstipatedWatson,

I still use it once per day, late in the evening as there are some international communities which are still lacking, I look forward to completely stopping to do it

Legolution,

Once per day, late in the evening, eh?

TheLonelyDude2049,

Yes. I even still use Sync for Reddit (patched by ReVanced Manager).

Captain_Nipples,

So I use revanced for youtube… does it only work with sync or would it work with RIF? I’m not sure how it actually works, but I know that it’s awesome for YT.

Anyways. I’m over Reddit now. If I Google something and it sends me to Reddit, I look for other sources before I use the Reddit link

TheLonelyDude2049,

Yes, you can patch RIF too. It actually works with most of the third-party apps.

bleepbloopbleep,

Didn’t visit at all since June.

And I don’t miss it :)

I don’t visit the homepage or use my mobile client. But it still pops up in searches and often has answers I need, for now.

RandomlyRight,

Only via libreddit.hu

TeenieBopper,

I still check out a couple hobby subs every day or two (via mobile browser, not the app). And if I’m looking for a certain type of information or advice, im still typing “[info desired] reddit” into google.

Lolors17,

Nope, nothing proprietary on my watch.

I_Has_A_Hat,

I still use reddit if I’m at my desktop which is rarely. Haven’t touched it on mobile since the API change.
