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?

magic_lobster_party,

Reddit is dead to me. Only time I go there is if a Google search leads me there, which is not that often.

onehellofausername,

If I do a Google search and a Reddit thread comes up with relevant info or discussion, I’ll check it out but I have completely stopped browsing and interacting with it.

Spaceinv8er,

This is the only time I “use” Reddit now myself.

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.

vegetarian_pacemaker,

Have I visted reddit, yes. Do I use it? No. I have grown to love lemmy. Disconnecting from a hyper charged, conterversy seeking website has done me good!

RinseDrizzle,

Not really since RIF is RIP. I do miss some extra content from niche communities, but I’m hoping Lemmy will grow enough to fill those gaps. Reddit was also a big news source, but I’ll be hitting other news outlets until Lemmy gets there too.

Here’s hoping Lemmy will be able to scratch my various music and art itches enough. No interest in going back to reddit these days though. The site I knew and loved over the last decade+ is no more. It’s sucked seeing it devolve over the years. Feels a lot like when everyone’s mom got facebook.

ShustOne,

This is literally the same as me. I’m trying to contribute to niche communities here to help drive engagement.

AnonStoleMyPants,

Yeah I check hydroponics subs occasionally.

javidoom,

Nope. I uninstalled boost and no come back.

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.

When I need to find a specific answer on a topic and a Google search brings me to a Reddit thread, yes. Otherwise, Lemmy and Discord have replaced my Reddit addiction

How do you find more discord servers? I randomly started being a bit more active in a random one from a simulator I use, and I’m enjoying it more than I thought, but not sure how to find more communities.

The Discord public server browser is pretty bad, Disboard.org is a better server browser that has more servers and filtering options. A lot of YouTubers and online groups will have their own discord servers as well, which you can typically find with some digging (a ton of subreddits had official discord servers long before all the current drama started for example)

Thanks! I think I just need to set an hour aside to try to think of things like this, YouTube channels are a good one, I do follow a lot of stuff related to my hobbies/profession there.

That’s what I miss from Lemmy so far, none of the niche things I’m into are really represented yet.

Jimmycrackcrack,

Sometimes I’m googling a tech issue and the only useful results are Reddit. I don’t abstain on such an occasion, I need my answers and I’ve never seen a Lemmy post show up in the results.

The other main situation is here on lemmy I’ll click a link based on the title without paying much attention only to discover it’s taken to content on reddit which is a weird phenomena that I kinda hope fades with time.

Hexophile,

I’m using it when looking for specific information about specific topics (tutorials, product reviews) but I haven’t looked at the front page since the announcement

Haven’t logged in to Reddit since one day after I created this lemmy account on June 13th.

Ilovethebomb,

This has a very “still obsessed with my ex” vibe, just saying.

islandofcaucasus,

It’s a site that a lot of us have used every day for years and it got yanked out from beneath us. Of course people are going to talk about it for a while

Michal,

No. Once my app stopped working, I quit cold turkey. I deleted all content from my reddit account and switched to Lemmy.

No more reddit at all. I even blocked reddit on my search engine. Everyday lemmy as a service, the apps we use, and the content we see here are improving. It just takes time.

Fediverse is truly the last bastion we have against shit like twitter and reddit. Why do you think Threads will try to federate with us? its because they see the potential aswell. However we’ll see how that shakes up with almost everyone agreeing not to federate with them.

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

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