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?

JohnBoBon,

I do. Lemmy is great for general purpose stuff, so far the best alternative I’ve found as far as the crossroads between layout and community involvement. However I follow a lot of fandoms and more specific communities, and those just aren’t there yet. I’m trying to start contributing here to encourage it, but the communities for those are still for the most part on reddit.

datavoid,

Scrolled for maybe 3 minutes total in the past month… Was a heavy commenter before that.

beijingb33f,

I do when a Google search leads me to a thread, but I don’t have an account. I don’t keep browsing like I used to. I’m also both annoyed and happy to see replies to threads deleted or replaced with goodbye phrases.

Demonmariner,

Deleted the app, deleted my account. Haven’t been back.

SpezHater69,

I pretty much only use it to add at the end of a google search. I feel like lemmy might be lacking in hits if I tried that

wolf,

I don’t browse Reddit routinely anymore like i would before. But I’d still visit it once in a while to read about discussion on niche subjects.

light_martyr,

99% Reddit free. If I need an answer or opinion about something niche, I will be there as shortly as possible and already have adblock

Yes, but a lot less. I unsubscribed from everything except some niche communities that are inactive/nonexistent on Lemmy, plus a few related to the Fediverse.

But the loss of Rif means I’m using it a lot less anyway.

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.

Glide,

I was following it for the drama involving the blackouts. I logged in today and started browsing around, and can’t help but wonder if it’s recently become even more polarized and radicalized with regards to absurd, hateful opinions, or if my bias’ against it are making it look that way.

Either way, the experience made me feel gross, and it occurred to me that I just don’t want to be there anymore.

Honestly, same. I didn’t fully comprehend exactly how bad it had gotten since it was kind of the boiling frog scenario. When you’ve been on Reddit over a decade you know the userbase is considerably worse than it used to be, way more polarized, and unfortunately way more representative of the general population.

Getting to Lemmy immediately reminded me of how the internet used to be to some degree, and when I read the engagement I don’t feel like I immediately need a shower or a lobotomy afterwards. Let’s hope it stays that way as long as possible.

learningduck,

I still use it for dinner subs that moved over to lemmy, but couldn’t grow much. Like 40klore.

R9442,

Only when searching about a particular topic or problem, whether I’m looking something up in a game or just troubleshooting.

Otherwise nothing, no account nor any browsing.

donut4ever,

About once or twice a week max. And only because infinity for reddit still works. Nothing much there really. Lemmy actually has been more fun. Just the apps are still a hit or miss

UnknownQuantity,

Not one little bit. I used to be a big fan of reddit, spent 12 years there but as soon as Sync stopped working I deleted my account and never went back.

DharkStare,

I still use it. The HFY community is still on Reddit and I enjoy reading the stories.

The API changes haven’t really affected my experience since I always browsed Reddit on my desktop through the browser.
