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?

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.

Only when a link brings me there or though a ddg search. No more browsing.

I have even noticed that google (my search engine of choice) has been showing reddit links further down the page; they used to be at the top for most of my searches (linux, gaming, coding type stuff). Which is appropriate, because just the other day I found a reddit post via google that had my exact issue and clicking though to it, the person who answered the question (and got a "thanks that did it" from the OP) had deleted their comments.

Nope! Not once since the blackout began.

No

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.

No. They killed bacon reader so I no longer post.

If Reddit is in the search results I’ll click, but that’s it.

minorsecond,

I log in for one niche sub that has no activity in the Lemmy equivalent, and only once every few days.

Maheswara,

Actually I left reddit long before migration… Came to know about Lemmy only after the API controversy…
