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?

Leo,

I use it to check anime episode discussions, it will probably get worse with time but its the only place I trust to read the comments. Also I still put reddit at the end of the search bar cuz the internet right now is just so full of useless articles about everything

Nope. If I can’t use Sync I won’t use Reddit.

You can still patch it with revanced manager.

But I only use sync to get better ui when researching things. Not to browse reddit.

He made Sync.

wandering_nomad,

Might wanna check who you are replying to!

The man, the Legend.

vendofridge,

@ljdawson is the creator of Sync, I somehow doubt he would use revanced to patch his own app haha

Lol, didn’t even notice to who I was replying. But my comment is still valid for others :P

It’s still the best way to use reddit. But I won’t be contributing to reddit in anyway.

Now I just wait for sync for lemmy 😁

Razp,

I can’t use Lemmy without Sync. It’s unusable. I am now lurking Reddit on Relay, until Sync for Lemmy is ready

Got a couple niche subs I still check once in a while. Otherwise I don’t read reddit anymore nor do I comment and vote.

Haven’t commented on a single post since I wiped my account. I check the news and world news subreddits and then move on.

jmp242,

Hmm, not really. As I’ve said before - a lot of the news stuff is also on Ground News, WaPo, Mastodon or Lemmy. There’s no great replacement for /r/sysadmin, but that needed replacing as it got to be useless over the last few years. I don’t know if there’s a /c/changemyview or not, but that isn’t necessary.

Actually, I just spend more time doing other stuff for entertainment - read more books, catch up on more podcasts, yes watch more youtube, TV, Movies whatever. Go outside, walk the dog. I’m kind of surprised how much time I can spend on lemmy lol.

BlackSpasmodic,

Only if a search sends me there and other links aren’t giving me what I need

I deleted my profile, but of course I still land there sometimes from Google results

boost for reddit has become unusable, many subs i frequent are still blackout. i have no real use for reddit any more, ill use the web client for google results when the sub i need isnt gone

this has done wonders for my social media addiction, more tjme spent with my friends on discord rather than doomscrolling reddit

0xeb,

I don’t. Since the beginning of this month, I only visited it 2 times where a Google search pointed out a post there, that is it. And even when it pop ups on the Google search result I tend to first check out other links.

HipPriest,

Maybe 2 or 3 times a week. There's some support communities on there that I'm a part of and check in with on there.

But learning about Reddit's behaviour the last month or so has been something of an eye opener and for now I'm enjoying exploring here (and actually reading ebooks again) as an alternative

I only go to reddit now if I look something up and get a link to it. I don’t go there to browse anymore.

PolarFred,

Literally just the HFY subreddit and looking for answers to questions about 3d printing etc.

MrMcMisterson,

I do, but not nearly as much. My reddit time when from a couple hours a day, to maybe 15 minutes here and there when I’m at a PC only. Even then, it’s not as active. Only my local sub is because the community didn’t migrate.

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

NO

BURN,

Only when I’m searching things on google. Unfortunately Reddit is still a gold mine of technical knowledge that’s not replicated anywhere.
