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?

PlasmaK,

If a search directs me there or if there is some news that I really need to check. I have abandoned the account.

Captain_Shakespeare,

For the moment it is still a massive repository of useful esoteric knowledge. I’ve stopped using it for anything active / current, but so long as it exists and is searchable I don’t see that I’ll be able to move away from accessing it entirely.

Twitter, however, is dead to me.

LiamMayfair,

Nope, I stopped browsing Reddit the moment they killed RIF. Now I only get on it if it has the answer to something I googled.

nailbar,

Yea with RIF gone I’m in the same boat.

I might stray there on desktop at work, and maybe for something specific on mobile via old.reddit.com, but other than that, Lemmy is where I’m at.

I won’t login to Reddit any more.

HerrBoedefeld,

So, peronally 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 fireseable future. See, there’s this chatgroup we maintain with my not ultra tech savvy parents and a handful of goofy dog/cat/bird videos a day brigthens their work days. 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 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 if content in the fediverse any time soon, if ever. So yeah, i still go there.

ClaretNBlue,

I signed up to Reddit in 2014 and loved the platform to the point it was my goto when researching new purchases by looking for real world users of products, and would visit the platform multiple times each day. But sadly with all the stunts that have been pulled I have moved over to Lemmy like many others and in have to say i don’t miss reddit at all.

Although Lemmy is now my goto I guess I’ll still make occasional visits to Reddit.

abnormal_258,

i starting using reddit in 2021 but i still do a occasional visit every now and then

Yes, but a lot less. I unsubscribed from everything except some niche communities that are inactive/nonexistent on Lemmy, plus a few related to the Fediverse.

But the loss of Rif means I’m using it a lot less anyway.

only for specific thinks, whrn i was searching for something

HeyJoe,

I lost power last night and had nothing to do… lemmy, sadly, doesn’t have as much content yet so I popped in once just to see. Spent like 10 min there with no account since I did delete it and realized it also wasn’t showing me much either.

Having an account with everything you like really helps the experience, glad I looked and felt better when it also didn’t really give me the fix I wanted. Power is back and I don’t forsee myself going back anytime soon, outside very specific google searches where I might find relevant information needed to do my job.

hansdampf,

since baconreader no longer works i stopped using reddit. only time i visited was because of a duckduckgo search result

jnato90,

RIF was my app for Reddit so once that went down I’ve cut it like 99%. Similarly I’m there now for questions that I can only seem to find there unfortunately but not logged in since.

Only to view NSFW images when I really don’t have any other option. I don’t have an account anymore though so usually it’s not worth the trouble. Lemmy really just doesn’t have the diversity reddit did with that yet.

Deelala0516,

Nope, not at all.

kakes,

Yeah, I left on June 15th when the protests started and jumped into Lemmy. Spent 11 years addicted to Reddit, but once I found Lemmy it was honestly pretty easy to ditch it.

ronflex,

When subs started blacking out and the only posts I were seeing on my feed were from r/hamsters, I cut the chord without looking back. My friends have all tried to find workarounds to be able to use reddit without official means like using apps that get the pass for accessibility and I’m just thinking “imagine going out of your way just to access reddit” 😂

The only subreddits I cared about were very few at that point with how shitty reddit had gotten as a whole, so it wasn’t hard.

SparkyTemper,

fuck no
