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?

FapMaster69,

Kept using 3rd party apps until they shut down. I personally wouldn’t be caught dead on the offical reddit app just on principal. I tried using the desktop site a couple times until I found Lemmy!

The major exception to this is if I look up a question or something and theres an answer on Reddit, I’ll still click that link.

DrQuint,

Yes and No.

Smaller communities with no equivalent, I’m there and still active. Technology, memes and world news, I’m here. But I’m also on other sites more again.

I still check some subs, like recent infos on the war in ukraine. And some others that have not catches up in terms of activity…

But it’s getting less and less. I also open Apollo less frequently, realising that it doesn’t work anymore

Apollo can be used after 1 July. But, with patch

Tell me more…

PeWu,

I’m not using reddit as a daily driver, but I visit it when I’m looking for answers.

UnfortunateBlaster69,

I unsubbed from all reddits that don’t support the resistance except for a few small ones. And I go to lemmy for most things

paddirn,

I do not at all. I’m avoiding even Google Search results that go to Reddit. I have not used Reddit since June 12, other than to fully wipe all of my accounts on June 30. I’ve moved on and it’s been an easier transition than I thought it would be.

I occasionally poke my head in to see if it’s dead yet, but other than that no.

I’ve looked maybe a handful of times over the past couple weeks, mostly to look at /r/modcoord and /r/save3rdpartyapps. Even then, I used libreddit. Other than that, I’ve not visited for really any other reason.

Lemmy + Mastodon is doing a good enough job being my daily time waster. There’s definitely less content here but I am but one man, it’s not like I could go through all of Reddit’s bot-generated daily content anyway.

deweydecibel,

Why is this pinned? And which apps let you block instances wholesale?

I purged my comments and deleted my main account on July 1st, which was surprisingly emotional for me. I use Alien Blue on mobile, which still works so far, but now that my main account is logged out, I’ll never be able to log another account in because authentication has been broken in Alien Blue for a while.

I’m keeping Alien Blue installed for two reasons: one, for checking on a friend who only posts updates on reddit, and two, I read r/games a couple times a week for headlines and discussion. Lemmy just doesn’t have the same level of engagement or discussion as r/games; even though there’s a certain brand of insufferable commenters there, the majority of people post thoughtful comments that are more than one or two sentences long and those are the kinds of threads I like reading. Lemmy threads seem to be more shallow; lots of replies to the parent, but very few threads that go more than one or two comments deep.

I admit I wasn’t intending to leave Reddit. Sure, I absolutely wasn’t going to install the damn official app, but I browse Reddit way more on desktop that on my phone. But it turns out my time spent on Reddit absolutely tanked without me doing much. Lemmy turned out to be a better replacement for me than I expected, I could find a lot of interesting activity here unlike, say, Mastodon where I had to dig further.

That does not mean I left Reddit entirely lol, but I sure enter way less now.

ButhJolokia,

Not really. Checked it a couple of times, but I’m sticking with Lemmy. Don’t miss it, don’t need it.

deweydecibel,

A bit. Not much, but a bit.

Lemmy is still missing some things I enjoyed from Reddit, things I can’t just snap my fingers and create here by typing a name into the “create community” page.

I’m not bothered by it. The transition will happen in time. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Etc.

BURN,

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