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?

cybercitizen4,

I do for niche communities, especially those for reading / books / literature. There’s fewer of those here on Lemmy, and the ones in languages other than English are nonexistent.

myrmidex,

Have you tried Bookwyrm? They have many language and genre instances.

cybercitizen4,

I have not, but I’ll check it out. Thanks!

Myriadblue,

Same. I have royal road, but it's not the same.

cybercitizen4,

Not familiar with royal road, what’s that?

No

I lurk on my country's subreddit once a day through libreddit or on browser with ads blocked. I used to do that for a couple other small subs but I don't bother doing it as much anymore, I just check what's posted there like 1-2 times a week at this point

xuxebiko,

No.

ShadowRam,

Nope,

80% is bot reposts anyway.

I have an RSS subscription to r/ebookdeals and an account that was previously to keep nsfw browsing separate from main browsing and access that now is subscribed to r/modcoord and r/3rdpartyapps to watch the drama that I occasionally check in on once a week or so, but otherwise Lemmy is my regular browsing home.

Chariotwheel,

I look into niche communities that I can't find in a suitable way on the fediverse, but I don't engage anymore. No comments, no posting, no up- or downvotes, no gilding (lol). I am sitting on 17100 of these coins and I will watch them melt away when Reddit removes rewards.

FlyLikeAMouse,

I have a few RSS feeds of niche subreddits that I can’t find alternatives to, but I deleted my account on 30th June

Only if I’m researching something and the top results are Reddit links. Otherwise no.

rynzcycle,

I've clicked a few links about walkthrough questions for niche games, but deleted the app (yes, I used the official app) on the 12th and haven't logged in since. Kbin/Lemmy is great for content and I'm loving the interaction on Mastadon.

Kichae,

Eh, I still use it a little bit. I follow Blue Jays games via the team's subreddit, and the Pathfinder community hasn't really migrated over, so scan that every couple of days. And the memes have just clobbered my feed these last couple of days, even after blocking most of the meme groups.

But I'm using Reddit very differently now.

moosh,

yes. r/SFFPC has not made the jump to the fediverse :(

lemmy.world/c/sffpc

moosh,

I’m subbed to it, it just isn’t that active the way r/sffpc is.

Version,

I usually check the subreddit redditmobile to see if they actually fixed the app.

syphe,

I still visit about 3 sub-reddits, all on a browser with ad-block, and I completely avoid commenting, I probably should start using libreddit. Haven't touched the front page since the initial blackout

coldv,

I am surprised how little I miss Reddit after June. I realised I was really dependent on RIF. I downloaded an RSS app instead (Inoreader) and followed some subs that I used to frequent. I check it once every few days as opposed to many times a day before the collapse.
