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?

I do, but not nearly as much as Lemmy.

I used to go to reddit for everything. To scroll aimlessly, just to look at aesthetic photos, to read stories…I even had a multi reddit for text based subs, and a third party app on my watch so I could read text based reddit posts at work.

Now, I only go to reddit if i need the resources of a specific sub (earlier i had a question about an app so i went to their sub to browse and see if there was any advice) or if i’m cross posting content to lemmy to get my communities going.

when i just want to scroll and see what’s new, ive been coming straight to lemmy every time.

i’m really trying to interact more too.

I haven’t been back on Reddit since shortly before July 1. I enjoy the vibe here right and the novelty of something new hasn’t worn off yet.

Some subreddits I was more into like Destiny 2’s and Diablo 4 don’t seem as busy here so I have a feeling I may need to lurk over there still from time to time.

taiyang,

Yeah, briefly, but the quality has dropped and I usually just switch back to Lemmy since it feels different. Also, only until Infinity for Reddit stops working; no idea why it still works but it’s a matter of time.

Joe_0237,

no

Tb0n3,

I haven’t “used” it in 8 years, but I will from time to time look at buildapcsales or gamedeals. No posting or logging in though.

rmuk,

No. I went cold turkey in mid-June. I logged back in last week to use Power Delete Suite to automatically edit every post and comment I ever made to this and then deleted my account.

I’ll still use Reddit read-only and with cookies blocked if I stumble upon (ahahaha) it through a search or something.

Are you trying to trick people into clicking on reddit? /j

lfr1138,

I still look, but mostly to: a) Keep up with the Oakland Athletics fan protest efforts as the A’s sub is where that really got coordinated with the larger community b) Try to figure out if some of the oddball subs I am on there and enjoyed have equivalents here, on the Matrix, Telegraph, etc.

I feel like I will kill my account there once those things are resolved enough to make Reddit fully pointless for me.

oSillyScope,

Nope. Deleted my account and moved in at sh.itjust.works signed in on jerboa and never looked back.

I made a private LibReddit instance so I can still get the news from specific communities that aren’t elsewhere.

shawn,

No.

Myro,

No. Haven’t touched it since they killed 3rd-party apps and don’t intend to (exception are Google search results, though I use Teddit as a frontend there.

Only if it is a google result. I still have sync app installed :(

jivandabeast,

Same here but for rif, had to finally uninstall it because it was getting frustrating.

But honestly lemmy content is really fire and I don’t really feel the need to look elsewhere, except for some niche communities. I’m thinking about opening a second private instance that just mirrors the few reddit communities i miss.

p0ppe,

Nope. A couple of clicks via Google, but that’s it.

IceGoddessEmma,

at least you still can, 90% of the time i get private communities, thanks admincraft

Chronophos,

I still use it for Google searches. For the subreddits that aren’t private anymore, it’s still a good resource to get reviews from actual human beings. But I made use of Power Delete Suite to both edit and delete all my comments, and I deleted my accounts back in June.

StankFlipper,

Completely out and I had RIF for at least eleven years. They got rid of a part of me; I don’t want shit to do with the site anymore. I’d also be out of Facebook if it weren’t for messenger. I look to Lemmy for updates on the dumpster fire that is Reddit now.
