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?

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.

Nope

HerrBoedefeld,

So, personally i’m done wirh reddit. But i still go there every once in a while to target about ten very specific subs which aren’t even remotely replicated in the fediverse for the foreseable future. See, there’s this chatgroup i maintain with my not so ultra tech savvy parents and a handful of goofy dog/cat/bird videos a day brightens their work days with a minute of joy. They would never browse reddit or even the fediverse and this tradition came at basically no “extra cost” since i scrolled reddit any day anyways. Now i don’t want to stop bettering their lives out of my idealism against reddit so i bite the bullet for now. I’m not engaging in reddit anymore, just go straight to some subs and that’s about it. Since this is content often posted by casual users very much like my parents i doubt we will see a big influx of this kind of content in the fediverse any time soon, if ever. So yeah, i still go there.

abnormal_258,

i still go on it. but i am migrating from reddit

krzysd,

Just check nsfw but images hosted by Reddit that are NSFW are slow to load and seem to have been slow for quite a while, so my rate at which I check it tapered from few times a day to now once or twice a month

I have not used it since some time in early June.

I have technically logged into my account – but only because I’ve opened Relay Pro. In spite of everything, it appears to still update everything, and the last app patch update message I saw said that they had implemented changes to reduce API usage (this after July 1).

But I haven’t interacted with reddit beyond that, and I don’t plan to. It’s not about anger at reddit anymore either – I actively like Lemmy better. It reminds me of old reddit.

donut4ever,

About once or twice a week max. And only because infinity for reddit still works. Nothing much there really. Lemmy actually has been more fun. Just the apps are still a hit or miss

R9442,

Only when searching about a particular topic or problem, whether I’m looking something up in a game or just troubleshooting.

Otherwise nothing, no account nor any browsing.

wolf,

I don’t browse Reddit routinely anymore like i would before. But I’d still visit it once in a while to read about discussion on niche subjects.

SpezHater69,

I pretty much only use it to add at the end of a google search. I feel like lemmy might be lacking in hits if I tried that

Demonmariner,

Deleted the app, deleted my account. Haven’t been back.

beijingb33f,

I do when a Google search leads me to a thread, but I don’t have an account. I don’t keep browsing like I used to. I’m also both annoyed and happy to see replies to threads deleted or replaced with goodbye phrases.

datavoid,

Scrolled for maybe 3 minutes total in the past month… Was a heavy commenter before that.

JohnBoBon,

I do. Lemmy is great for general purpose stuff, so far the best alternative I’ve found as far as the crossroads between layout and community involvement. However I follow a lot of fandoms and more specific communities, and those just aren’t there yet. I’m trying to start contributing here to encourage it, but the communities for those are still for the most part on reddit.

shashi154263,

Yes, the /r/Cricket sub hasn’t moved from reddit yet. But nothing more.

However, I don’t use the reddit app. I’m using Boost only. If it stops working, I might not use reddit at all.
