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?

Only for porn, really.

electrogamerman,

I haven’t for around ten days or so, the last time I went there was to post about lemmy in one of my favorite subs, in order to attract more of them to the same community here on lemmy, but the post was deleted, so im never going back now.

TerranExpat,

I haven’t posted in years, but there is still so much content there. Now though without my favourite app (Joey) I probably will go there less. Even less when they disable old.reddit.com.

SuspiciousUser,

I only troll and break the terms of service on Reddit now

That’s so easy to do. I got perma banned because I commented “at least you’re not reddited” on a post where op said they were ok being called r-word because of their disability.

Duder167,

I posted “beat his ass anyway” to a fiight video and got mega purged.

Like a lot of people are saying, if reddit comes up in a search result, I’m clicking it. You know that’s your best shot at finding the answer you’re looking for.

But opening the app? Scrolling and socializing? I checked my comment history just now, and since joining Lemmy on July 1st, I have commented 5 reddit comments; 1 of them was a reply to someone replying to me. 4 of them were specifically about ActivityPub social networks.

In that same thirteen days, I left 33 comments on Lemmy.

AnaGram,

I’ve popped over a couple times too see what floats to the top of all (or whatever it is that’s displayed when you don’t log in), and a couple more times when I did a search and Reddit’s answers were part of the results set. But I honestly can’t be missing that much since every other soc media site I look at has at least half of their threads linking back to something that originated on Reddit.

PlasmaK,

If a search directs me there or if there is some news that I really need to check. I have abandoned the account.

Only in google search results.

Gili,

Mainly using Lemmy. Was recently trying to migrate all of the Subreddits to Lemmy. Still have ReVanced Sync for Reddit installed, and Relay. Reddit has many more communities that I’m afraid Lemmy won’t get to see, perhaps because the audience just uses the default Reddit app, but I’m hopeful. Even for Subreddits that moved to Lemmy, I feel like I get to see more content that I’m interested in, in the same period of time, even if I change the sorting. I usually see different content if I reopen any Reddit app, but Lemmy often shows me mostly the same posts for a day or so.

Jimmycrackcrack,

Sometimes I’m googling a tech issue and the only useful results are Reddit. I don’t abstain on such an occasion, I need my answers and I’ve never seen a Lemmy post show up in the results.

The other main situation is here on lemmy I’ll click a link based on the title without paying much attention only to discover it’s taken to content on reddit which is a weird phenomena that I kinda hope fades with time.

rjh,

I went from several hours a day to zero after the blackout, morally I just don’t want to support them anymore. I still add ‘reddit’ to google searches sometimes and look at those, but no more mindless scrolling of the front page.

argv_minus_one,

No. I’ve checked my inbox and profile page several times, but that’s it. Reddit is dead to me.

HeyJoe,

I lost power last night and had nothing to do… lemmy, sadly, doesn’t have as much content yet so I popped in once just to see. Spent like 10 min there with no account since I did delete it and realized it also wasn’t showing me much either.

Having an account with everything you like really helps the experience, glad I looked and felt better when it also didn’t really give me the fix I wanted. Power is back and I don’t forsee myself going back anytime soon, outside very specific google searches where I might find relevant information needed to do my job.

Monkeyclock1234,

Now and again I jump on for niche information for my hobbies. But only on desktop, and only on old.reddit.com
