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?

fische_stix,

Only when a search engine points me to a very obviously correct and well worded answer to a tech problem. I don’t log in.

NotSpez,

If I do a web search I’ll still go to reddit if it as a useful thread but I don’t actively go on it.

doppelgangmember,

Of course not!!

Chainweasel,

There’s a few things that I follow that do have communities here, but little to no engagement in those communities. I’ll occasionally get on to look at those subreddits for updates, but I don’t have an account anymore so I don’t log in and I don’t engage with the communities. I also use RES so they don’t get any of my advertising revenue. Someone had linked a read only Reddit client before but I can’t remember what it was, If anyone does remember let me know so I can switch to that.

I stopped by once to double check my stuff was still deleted.

Use reddit? I still have my work account for when Google sends me there.

Visit Reddit? No.

I still hang out mostly on Reddit. As much as the site’s gone downhill, I’m mostly active on the fandom-specific subs, which don’t have nearly as much of a presence on Lemmy. The general meme communities have been flourishing, but the fandom communities are basically ghost towns, and even those that see a bare minimum of activity are far from enough to pop up in my feed. Right now, /r/yugioh has ten times as many online users as /c/yugioh has subscribers period - and that’s one of the more active niche communities I follow! I’ll still be keeping an eye on Lemmy and post to both sites when I can, but we’ve got a lot more growing to do before I’m ready to finally ditch Reddit.

Also, Reddit has the hentai. The specific fandom subs at least have small barely-active communities here but their NSFW counterparts are totally nonexistent.

jmp242,

Given it feels like Reddit is getting rid of NSFW content (API changes on that too) - maybe try finding other locations for that content? I’m honestly surprised how many people used reddit for that kind of content. Never would have occurred to me lol.

Nope, I haven’t been there even once since switching over to Lemmy

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.

SinJab0n,

Nah, sometimes google tries to make me enter but I just scroll a lil more and use any other result.

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.
