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?

Naia,

I I still use it on desktop since I can still use the old design and I run several layers of adblock.

On mobile I basically never use it now unless a search result forces me to it. Lemmy needs work, but I’ve gotten it to a usable state in mobile.

I really home Baconreader makes a lemmy version because that was the only way I used reddit mobile.

alien,

lemmy has completely replaced reddit for me ngl, it’s pretty much the same experience, for me at least, and I actually like it here more, people are more engaging and I got 100+ upvotes on a post for the FIRST TIME!

honestly I don’t see myself going back, I will miss finding a niche sub and having enough content there for me to scroll for hours but hey, we’ll get there too eventually!

knocks,

I deleted my account 1st July. I won’t lie there is still a couple of subreddits I’ll check out through old.reddit, but mostly due to a recent crush on John Oliver.

undeffeined,

I don’t scroll through reddit anymore but will use it if a friend shares a link or when looking for something. It was hard the first few days as I found myself opening Sync only to be greeted by the goodbye message. Safe to say I was quite addicted to doom scrolling but happy to have stopped.

Been using Jerboa for 2 weeks now and have not doom scrolled yet, feels good

Madusch,

Until yesterday, Joey for Reddit still worked, but since today it doesn’t anymore. I miss r/BestOfRedditorUpdates, so I’ll probably use it just for that sub.

Sometimes when I need an answer I use wayback machine to read reddit. Don’t want to give reddit my engagement and have their cookies in my browser.

Zippity,

I still look at a few specific subreddits when they pop-up in a search result.

I don’t browse it (I have a redirector rule that links me right out of Reddit), but if I need to access it for something, I just tack on old. as a bypass.

oranges,

Literally have not been back since I decided to leave before the blackout.

Considering incised to spen hours a day s rolling that place, I haven’t missed it and just moved on. 12years or more I was a regular contributor and viewer and quit cold turkey style :)

opux030,

I open the app out of muscle memory a few times a day, infinity still works somehow, but most of my subs have been closed/dead now anyway so not really.

Morphior,

No, I uninstalled Boost and Infinity about a month ago and haven’t looked back.

chk232,

Logged out, sometimes I use rif to check on some subreddits.

Not going to delete my 9 year old account because if I do that they will keep all the comments.

I just did some searching for the best grind size settings for my Aeropress. Some of the search results led to Reddit, I clicked on them and felt a bit dirty lol. Funnily enough a few of results still led to private groups. Reddit will still be a source of information about niche topics. Let’s hope Lemmy becomes that source instead…

Gsus4,

I visit some subs occasionally on old reddit, but have never logged in again. Fuck u/spez.

AnonStoleMyPants,

Yeah I check hydroponics subs occasionally.
