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?

XiELEd,

Sometimes I use Reddit to search up nonfiction book recommendations on r/books with searx.be (it automatically fetches you results on the old reddit website) because to be honest, it’s pretty much one of the few places where I can find nonfiction recommendation for niche topics or just nonfiction readers in general (that isn’t just about self-help books). Not only that, the users generally give a synopsis so it’s easier to find what book you’d be interested in. But since Reddit made porn less accessible, my reddit usage dropped significantly.

Nope.

SinJab0n,

Nah, sometimes google tries to make me enter but I just scroll a lil more and use any other result.

Nah, deleted that shit as soon as they announced the API.

I saw the writing on the wall.

I will occasionally browse because Relay still works, but I stopped contributing content.

Nope, I haven’t been there even once since switching over to Lemmy

I still hang out mostly on Reddit. As much as the site’s gone downhill, I’m mostly active on the fandom-specific subs, which don’t have nearly as much of a presence on Lemmy. The general meme communities have been flourishing, but the fandom communities are basically ghost towns, and even those that see a bare minimum of activity are far from enough to pop up in my feed. Right now, /r/yugioh has ten times as many online users as /c/yugioh has subscribers period - and that’s one of the more active niche communities I follow! I’ll still be keeping an eye on Lemmy and post to both sites when I can, but we’ve got a lot more growing to do before I’m ready to finally ditch Reddit.

Also, Reddit has the hentai. The specific fandom subs at least have small barely-active communities here but their NSFW counterparts are totally nonexistent.

jmp242,

Given it feels like Reddit is getting rid of NSFW content (API changes on that too) - maybe try finding other locations for that content? I’m honestly surprised how many people used reddit for that kind of content. Never would have occurred to me lol.

Use reddit? I still have my work account for when Google sends me there.

Visit Reddit? No.

I stopped by once to double check my stuff was still deleted.

Chainweasel,

There’s a few things that I follow that do have communities here, but little to no engagement in those communities. I’ll occasionally get on to look at those subreddits for updates, but I don’t have an account anymore so I don’t log in and I don’t engage with the communities. I also use RES so they don’t get any of my advertising revenue. Someone had linked a read only Reddit client before but I can’t remember what it was, If anyone does remember let me know so I can switch to that.

doppelgangmember,

Of course not!!

<.< >.>

NotSpez,

If I do a web search I’ll still go to reddit if it as a useful thread but I don’t actively go on it.

fische_stix,

Only when a search engine points me to a very obviously correct and well worded answer to a tech problem. I don’t log in.

No, and honestly don’t really miss it. Lemmy is fine for what I need it for. Sometimes if I search for an answer I’ll get a result that happens to be on Reddit so if that counts then so be it.

PochoHipster,

Nah. This is my shitpost home now.
