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?

Platomus,

I deleted my 9 year old account once Bacon Reader stopped working for me.

javidoom,

Nope. I uninstalled boost and no come back.

Angelo,

I still use reddit but only when Google search results points me to it and via a teddit (alternative frontend) instance so I don’t give them a dime with ads nor a visit, but teddit is slowly dying (Error: 429 “Too Many Requests”) because they decreased the limit of posts it could load, so you have to switch between instances until it finally loads, but thankfully, a script does that for you automatically (thanks to bezier-curve from Hacker News news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36726442) : pastebin.com/zFJ5nb42

Also, to be automatically redirected from reddit to your favorite teddit instance, you could use this extension for Firefox (I’m not using Chrome sorry) : addons.mozilla.org/…/reddit-to-teddit-redirect/

To help prevent 429 errors from happening, you can still help by creating more teddit servers! : codeberg.org/teddit/teddit

dubyakay,

I’ve stopped using reddit, unless I need to search for historic content related to some tech gadget or something. And then only on desktop/laptop.

I’ve subbed to audible and kindle unlimited and been happier since.

TheConnected,

I’ve just switch to lemmy after JoeyForReddit stopped working this afternoon. Lemmy doesn’t have the same amount of content as Reddit but there is potential.

Yes, that was the final drop for me too. Going to delete my account and 8 year history next time I’m at the PC.

Nope

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.

WorldieBoi,

Nope.

HerrBoedefeld,

So, personally 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 foreseable future. See, there’s this chatgroup i maintain with my not so ultra tech savvy parents and a handful of goofy dog/cat/bird videos a day brightens their work days with a minute of joy. 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 against reddit 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 of 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

Very rarely. If it’s a terminally online day and I run out of content I might go on reddit.

abnormal_258,

i still go on it. but i am migrating from reddit

ChaoticDucc,

I still use Reddit, but have used it significantly less. I am experimenting with alternatives like Lemmy.

AceFuzzLord,

I just recently got around to archiving posts of mine before deleting my account, so I literally have no ties other than those on the Wayback Machine.

Needless to say, I don’t go back and I do my absolute best to avoid any and all links from it whenever possible.
