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 still check some subs, like recent infos on the war in ukraine. And some others that have not catches up in terms of activity…

But it’s getting less and less. I also open Apollo less frequently, realising that it doesn’t work anymore

Apollo can be used after 1 July. But, with patch

Tell me more…

DrQuint,

Yes and No.

Smaller communities with no equivalent, I’m there and still active. Technology, memes and world news, I’m here. But I’m also on other sites more again.

FapMaster69,

Kept using 3rd party apps until they shut down. I personally wouldn’t be caught dead on the offical reddit app just on principal. I tried using the desktop site a couple times until I found Lemmy!

The major exception to this is if I look up a question or something and theres an answer on Reddit, I’ll still click that link.

Sigmatics,

Just checked today and found out that they decided to rob all users of their coins.

Unfortunately some topic specific subs haven’t made the jump to Lemmy yet, so for those I still have to check there occasionally

Slagathor,

Not really. The only time I ever go to reddit is if I want info about a really niche subject and the post is usually several years old anyway.

Occasionally, after seeing something in the news regarding Reddit, I will use libreddit.kavin.rocks to see if that news, or any other negative press is anywhere on r/all.

Most recently was about them removing rewards and coins, and prior to that was code in the app that appears to allude to a cash for karma reward system.

yumcake,

Yes, just a lot less because theres no app for it, so I only check it from a desktop PC instead of constantly the way I have in the past.

Maybe it’s just me but the volume of interesting posts has fallen off a cliff after July 1st. The front page has much less activity and noticably more of it is reposts (which were there before, just a much higher ratio now).

The niche subreddits were always the key draw though, those still only exist on Reddit and nowhere else on the internet.

pigup,

Nope they got porn here now

Not really, since I went back once or twice but then realised how little value I get from there and how much time I waste there. I also try to reduce my time on lemmy but at least everything is new and fresh here.

notun,

Of course I do. It’s reddit.

mintiefresh,

Almost never.

Sometimes when I need to troubleshoot or am looking for specific information, then I will add reddit. It still shines there.

But don’t have a login anymore and I don’t visit daily. Lemmy has become my main now.

koreth,

Yes, but much less than I used to. When I don’t have a particular goal in mind and just want to doomscroll a bit, I find myself checking Lemmy first, and only if I run out of things to read, which I usually don’t, do I move on to Reddit.

There are still some niche communities that are active on Reddit and not here. So I do still go over there on purpose for those.

I’ve checked the frontpage from time to time just to monitor what’s changing, but I have yet to log in.

moobythegoldensock,

Yes. I like reddit’s posts more, but the Memmy app is more stable on my phone than the official reddit app, plus no ads. So I’m currently using both, but as Lemmy’s community grows and matures I’ll probably start using reddit less.

nic,

i still have a million things ‘saved’ on reddit i need to check out and there’s that one niche sub i lurk that doesn’t seem to want to migrate but other than that nah
