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?

rivermonster,

No, I’ve completely replaced Reddit with Lemmy.

alien,

lemmy has completely replaced reddit for me ngl, it’s pretty much the same experience, for me at least, and I actually like it here more, people are more engaging and I got 100+ upvotes on a post for the FIRST TIME!

honestly I don’t see myself going back, I will miss finding a niche sub and having enough content there for me to scroll for hours but hey, we’ll get there too eventually!

knocks,

I deleted my account 1st July. I won’t lie there is still a couple of subreddits I’ll check out through old.reddit, but mostly due to a recent crush on John Oliver.

Savirius,

About 85% of my reddit browsing had been on pretty niche subs, so I’m still using reddit to engage in those communities (of those that haven’t shut down). I’m trying to contribute to the equivalents here too, but the engagement is still on reddit for now.

The other 15% was just the occasional trip to /r/all to see if there was anything interesting going on there, to which the answer was usually… no. That’s pretty much been replaced by here now.

undeffeined,

I don’t scroll through reddit anymore but will use it if a friend shares a link or when looking for something. It was hard the first few days as I found myself opening Sync only to be greeted by the goodbye message. Safe to say I was quite addicted to doom scrolling but happy to have stopped.

Been using Jerboa for 2 weeks now and have not doom scrolled yet, feels good

wholemilk,

I don’t. I thought I would miss it a lot, but after replacing rif with lemmy and a few other apps I haven’t really been thinking about reddit recently.

Madusch,

Until yesterday, Joey for Reddit still worked, but since today it doesn’t anymore. I miss r/BestOfRedditorUpdates, so I’ll probably use it just for that sub.

akippnn,

I want to stop using Reddit, but every Google search I make that’s tech-related has an answer on either StackOverflow or Reddit. Even if most people move to Lemmy, Reddit would probably come up once in a while when I’m looking for answers to a problem only a few people would care about.

Sometimes when I need an answer I use wayback machine to read reddit. Don’t want to give reddit my engagement and have their cookies in my browser.

Zippity,

I still look at a few specific subreddits when they pop-up in a search result.

Maybe once a week using RiF ReVanced for

  • Checking two small subreddit
  • Delete comments that haven’t been visible anymore but now are again (because I deleted newer comments, now the older ones starting to appear again)
Zeroxxx,

Redreader is still working.

Alex,

I only visit reddit if I google something and a reddit thread about the problem pops up in the results. Otherwise, I’m completely off reddit.

Roughly a month on Lemmy now and the habitually visit of Reddit completely faded out. Lemmy replaced Reddit without any compromises for me. I’m also trying to establish a Bass-guitar related Community here, so there’s a bigger investment for me to get things going here.

I put the Memmy icon right where Apollo used to be so now Memmy is where I go. The main feed isn’t as plentiful yet but it’s growing…

BorgDrone,

Same.

I only check /r/ModCoord once every couple of days to check on the state of the dumpster fire.

I agree. I’m not getting nearly as much content over here, but I don’t miss it at all. I didn’t realize how much of my time on reddit was spent “hate-reading”. It has totally transformed the way I use the internet; I almost never commented on reddit.

Lemmy has been an absolute revelation for me. I was so lucky to find it early on and I want to share this experience so others can have the same happiness. Just waiting for the developers to iron things out first before I try to recruit my normie friends 😅

InigoMontoyota,

Third week for me and haven’t visited for a few days now. Less and less as more content shows here.

hbar,

I feel the same way. It was weird breaking the habit of clicking the RiF app when I unlock my screen, but after a while the need just went away.

Unfortunately I’ve been reeled back to RIF because you can apply a patch now that allows you to login. It’s hard to resist the familiar look of that app.

hbar,

Ahhh, I’m not sure if I should let that addiction back in!

hbar,

I can’t even find RIF on the app store anymore, did they take it down?

It’s available if you can find the direct link to the playstore. I have a link to the golden platinum version.

MementoMori,

Would you be willing to share, please?

I put Memmy where Apollo was and I didn’t even have to retrain myself

I do find that I use the fediverse less, as my “front page” gets stale much quicker. But this is not only something I can probably fix, but also don’t mind because it reminds me how much I duck out into social media which helps me say “ah fuck it” and do something else.

@robmexx@lemmy.world avatar

Exactly the same here. But I have a feeling the stream of content will come sooner then later too

Same here, although, like once or twice a week when I remember that I used to go on reddit I go there to see what’s going on, but the habituall check is now always lemmy.

I am lurking and watching the dumpster fire at this point , reddit went full Authoritarian on Dndmemes and sacked a bunch of cool mods because we turned it into a goblin porn subreddit for the shutdown/blackout and the admins did not like that… so I am posting here now and watching Reddit burn in the distance.
