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?

dubyakay,

I’ve stopped using reddit, unless I need to search for historic content related to some tech gadget or something. And then only on desktop/laptop.

I’ve subbed to audible and kindle unlimited and been happier since.

Angelo,

I still use reddit but only when Google search results points me to it and via a teddit (alternative frontend) instance so I don’t give them a dime with ads nor a visit, but teddit is slowly dying (Error: 429 “Too Many Requests”) because they decreased the limit of posts it could load, so you have to switch between instances until it finally loads, but thankfully, a script does that for you automatically (thanks to bezier-curve from Hacker News news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36726442) : pastebin.com/zFJ5nb42

Also, to be automatically redirected from reddit to your favorite teddit instance, you could use this extension for Firefox (I’m not using Chrome sorry) : addons.mozilla.org/…/reddit-to-teddit-redirect/

To help prevent 429 errors from happening, you can still help by creating more teddit servers! : codeberg.org/teddit/teddit

javidoom,

For me, it’s still convinient for asking specific questions. The niche communities were filled with people knowing their stuff so the archives are filled with very reflected opinions and knowledge. For example, if I’m about to, say, buy a cooking knife, I’d google “best cooking knife reddit” and there I have it. Without that I’d be stuck with “top 10 cooking knifes articles” which may be influenced by knife companies wanting to promote their product. Of course I could ask that question here too, but I’d have to wait for an answer and those I would get would only be a fragment of what I’m still be able to find in reddits archives. But for everything else I’m very happy here

Icarus,

RinseDrizzle,

Not really since RIF is RIP. I do miss some extra content from niche communities, but I’m hoping Lemmy will grow enough to fill those gaps. Reddit was also a big news source, but I’ll be hitting other news outlets until Lemmy gets there too.

Here’s hoping Lemmy will be able to scratch my various music and art itches enough. No interest in going back to reddit these days though. The site I knew and loved over the last decade+ is no more. It’s sucked seeing it devolve over the years. Feels a lot like when everyone’s mom got facebook.

ShustOne,

This is literally the same as me. I’m trying to contribute to niche communities here to help drive engagement.

AnonStoleMyPants,

Yeah I check hydroponics subs occasionally.

TimeIntegrated,

Not really. I think I visited twice this month - pop in to see someone’s comments page and some small sub. Nowadays if google sends me to Reddit, I just view the cached version.

cashews_best_nut,

Nope, in fact after trying the super delete Suite (failed) I’m creating my own userscript to delete all my old comments. Once it’s finished later today I’ll post about it on Lemmy for others to use.

15yr old account dead and banned. The only time I check out Reddit is to look at the Western Europeans taking the piss out of each other on 2westerneuropean4u.

Ima be honest, I deleted my reddit account before even creating this lemmy account

bluemix,

No

Carter,

My usage just plummeted off a cliff after creating a Lemmy account. Infinity for Reddit is still working at the moment but I don’t even have the app on my home screen anymore so I rarely open it.

Maybe once a week? To check on some specific subs, but I revert back to my old lurker ways when I’m there and never contribute.

AnonStoleMyPants,

Yeah I check hydroponics subs occasionally.
