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.

USSEthernet,

Nope, been browsing Lemmy since July 1 when I was no longer able to use RiF.

Bristlecone,

RIP RIF! Me too brother

ThaijsClan,

I only use it when googling questions that I know reddit has the answer for. And I hate it the whole time. I spend only enough time on there to get my answer then immediately close the web page. Call me silly or what you will, but I personally want to give as little interaction with that website as possible now. Fuck u/spez

As for the drama, I subscribe to a couple Lemmy instances that share the drama through Lemmy, that way I can be in the loop without having to be on the actual website.

bleepbloopbleep,

Didn’t visit at all since June.

And I don’t miss it :)

Lolors17,

Nope, nothing proprietary on my watch.

Leo,

I use it to check anime episode discussions, it will probably get worse with time but its the only place I trust to read the comments. Also I still put reddit at the end of the search bar cuz the internet right now is just so full of useless articles about everything

I deleted my profile, but of course I still land there sometimes from Google results

HipPriest,

Maybe 2 or 3 times a week. There's some support communities on there that I'm a part of and check in with on there.

But learning about Reddit's behaviour the last month or so has been something of an eye opener and for now I'm enjoying exploring here (and actually reading ebooks again) as an alternative

J12,

Hadn’t been in 3 days besides accidentally opening Apollo. I’m going to stop by one of these days and edit and delete my comments and posts.

nobodyimportantatall,

No, I have a couple small communities that I have pull into an RSS reader that still works somehow, but I stay logged out and never comment. 12 year account with 29k karma and I quit cold turkey and mostly went back to RSS feeds.

jerebear205,

Just for the porn tbh.

chilly_pupper,

The mobile app Geddit is good for this on Android. You can browse without being signed in and it gets around the nsfw API restrictions because it’s just scraping the website.

jmp242,

You know, of all the things to use reddit for - porn never occurred to me. It’s not like there aren’t literally thousands of dedicated sites for that…

jerebear205,

It’s the social aspect that is pretty fun, filled the void caused by Tumblr nuking NSFW stuff. I had both a swf and nswf account if that makes a difference, I didn’t use reddit just for porn…

viridian,

Yeah unfortunately. There are some subs that haven’t migrated over yet and some subs that are active that have really useful info for me (school, language learning, etc.)

King,

Lemmy still has some issues that need to be addressed for it to fully replace Reddit for my needs

Be honest, do you still use reddit?

NotSpez,

If I do a web search I’ll still go to reddit if it as a useful thread but I don’t actively go on it.

SinJab0n,

Nah, sometimes google tries to make me enter but I just scroll a lil more and use any other result.
