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?

HollowNotion,

Yeah, I do. There’s just more content there. More articles. More questions. More discussion. Not all of it is good, but a lot of what I use reddit for is taking the temperature on things… games, movies, books, general opinions on news articles, etc. I like Lemmy, but it doesn’t have the userbase to make this my only “front page of the internet” for now.

Intentionally, only when a search directs me to a Reddit thread. Unfortunately, it’s still a great resource in that regard.

Unintentionally, habit has me typing reddit.com before I realize what I’m doing. Otherwise, I try to stay here.

I quit Reddit as soon as it came out how much they wanted to charge Christian for running Apollo. Joined up on /kbin and have been incredibly happy with it.

Only for porn, really.

Daisyifyoudo,

I used RIF for close 10 years. Comparatively speaking, just trying to browse Reddit via app or in it’s browser is straight up r/eyebleach

theonetruedroid,

Patch it with Revanced and create a free personal API key. Boom.

Daisyifyoudo,

I appreciate the advice, but really don’t know what any of that means lol. And honestly, sounds like a bunch of steps to access a site I don’t have any interest in viewing or participating in anymore.

Until I find most of the equivalent Reddit subs on Lemmy, with their emigrated leading lights, you kind of have to. Like you said, only Reddit has the answers. Startpage: “42? site:reddit.com”

I’m too old to enjoy drama.

boonhet,

Within the last month or so, I’ve stumbled upon reddit links a total of ~3 times. It’s still damn useful for looking up info and the best links on Google are often reddit. Ublock origin was enabled of course.

BeakEm420,

Yes I do still use reddit, although only to check specific Subreddits. When it comes to mindlessly scrolling through content, however, the Fediverse has replaced Reddit 100% of the time.

Reddit is so frustrating to use without Boost so not really.

rivermonster,

No, I’ve completely replaced Reddit with Lemmy.

Carter,

My usage just plummeted off a cliff after creating a Lemmy account. Infinity for Reddit is still working at the moment but I don’t even have the app on my home screen anymore so I rarely open it.

For me, it’s still convinient for asking specific questions. The niche communities were filled with people knowing their stuff so the archives are filled with very reflected opinions and knowledge. For example, if I’m about to, say, buy a cooking knife, I’d google “best cooking knife reddit” and there I have it. Without that I’d be stuck with “top 10 cooking knifes articles” which may be influenced by knife companies wanting to promote their product. Of course I could ask that question here too, but I’d have to wait for an answer and those I would get would only be a fragment of what I’m still be able to find in reddits archives. But for everything else I’m very happy here

Senornomilkshake,

Only on desktop here and there since RES still works. Enjoying Lemmy when on mobile though.

light_martyr,

99% Reddit free. If I need an answer or opinion about something niche, I will be there as shortly as possible and already have adblock

I used reddit until Sync stopped working, and I haven’t been on since, except to delete a bunch of old posts.

AllHailTheSheep,

yeah same
