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 will occasionally browse because Relay still works, but I stopped contributing content.

Nah, deleted that shit as soon as they announced the API.

I saw the writing on the wall.

Nope.

XiELEd,

Sometimes I use Reddit to search up nonfiction book recommendations on r/books with searx.be (it automatically fetches you results on the old reddit website) because to be honest, it’s pretty much one of the few places where I can find nonfiction recommendation for niche topics or just nonfiction readers in general (that isn’t just about self-help books). Not only that, the users generally give a synopsis so it’s easier to find what book you’d be interested in. But since Reddit made porn less accessible, my reddit usage dropped significantly.

Yup. I never used any of the apps (always opened reddit through my mobile browser) so I wasn't affected that way. I am sympathetic to all the issues brought up, and I do really like the fediverse, but I don't think the users are here yet.

I like going to reddit to read about opinions or someone more knowledgeable than me talk about things. I find there's a lack of discussions in the fediverse at the moment for me, and maybe that's due to me having to curate my experience more. I don't know. But for now, yes, I still use it.

I created a libreddit instance for myself, so if I want to browse a specific subreddit that hasn’t moved away, (e.g. /r/warthunder) I can without using the official site.

nevernevermore,

there's a single community there that i read but don't engage with, because they haven't found a new home. also, while problem solving some tech issues, qwant and ddg both feed me reddit as threads to find solutions, but i digest the info and dont sign in, upvote, comment etc

coros,

Yes but as Lemmy grows I’ll probably stop. There’s still some local subreddits that haven’t made the move. Since I don’t use Facebook, it’s the only way to get the local happenings.

holycrapwtfatheism,

Rarely. Without RiF I legitimately hate reddit on mobile using old reddit. I'll lazily browse sometimes when I'm at a PC but it's super limited to topics I haven't found on here yet.

neko,

My small 3rd string city’s community is only like one guy on here, but it’s active on there

Only if a search result organically takes me to something that happens to be on Reddit.

I do notice that a lot of the subs I find this way are now locked to 18+ (the SwiftUI sub) which means I have to login to view. Since I deleted my account that’s a no go.

A little bit, but I have been favoring Lemmy. If they kill old.reddit I’m out though.

popcorp,

Only when googling stuff I sometime add site:reddit.com, but I am no longer browsing reddit on my phone. With the death of RIF and APIs I just can’t stomach looking at the page.

And good bless old.reddit redirector plugin.

ftothe3,

Lemmy exclusively on my phone (Memmy app) and reddit occasionally when on my PC.

eek2121,

I visit the Ukraine livethread on worldnews once a day and that is it. I use Lemmy or Mastodon mostly.

I am not logged into my reddit account, and ads are blocked. I use a VPN. I cancelled my reddit premium subscription when the API changes were announced.
