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 told myself I would leave gradually but in reality I'm never over there anymore. Its just so annoying and slow to not be able to use RIF.

Meanwhile the fediverse is so new and interesting and way more friendly.

I think I’m like most people here on this one. I avoid Reddit unless I absolutely need to find an answer to a question that can only be solved by a random saint from, like, 5 years ago

Been 16 days since I last checked Reddit. Lemmy has been a refreshing experience.

I keep the app on my phone. I use it as a porn site at this point.

I have been using the official Reddit app from my cakeday (did not know about all the other apps until they were gone), and have opened the app like every other day but haven’t made a comment since I switched to Lemmy.

BromSwolligans,

Sometimes I open up the home page to see what’s up, then I see what’s up is less interesting than it used to be and less interesting than what’s happening here. And I close it pretty quickly. I’m still using it as part of my Google searches when I need quick human answers. It’s gonna continue to be a historical resource in that regard. No getting around that. But my account only exists so that I can access those resources without too much fuss. It’s not something I use to post or contribute. I used the Sign In With Apple feature to just generate a throwaway anonymous account after I deleted my 11 year old account.

I literally only use it to check if there's a new Chainsaw Man chapter out so I open r/ChainsawMan once every two weeks, that's about it

I don’t use it any more. At most when people refer to something Reddit here, specially in c/snoocalypse, I check it then archive it then link the archive.

That said I don’t blame people who still use it, even if I encourage people to not to.

I use it for finding information on Google, but other than that nah

Two subreddits that I check on occasion for information/memes, both of which I’m hoping will eventually gain traction here. I don’t have an account though.

a4ng3l,

I slipped maybe twice by accident via google search results but that’s it. Until I need to get opinions to buy something it will be okay I guess.

siderealyear,

Nope, not at all. Uninstalled weeks ago. Actively avoid in search results. Had been subconsciously looking to move on for a long time. See ya later, better things to do and places to be.

tylerthehuman,

i still scroll a little bit. a few subs with content i cant really get anywhere else. tbh the content on lemmy is very bare so i’ll scroll twitter more…

Drastically reduced my usage and now spend that time on other side projects / reading. I miss the large volume of comment but don't miss being treated like an obstacle (like how reddit leadership sees their users)

Nope. Not once since June 12th.
