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?

Only if it is a google result. I still have sync app installed :(

jivandabeast,

Same here but for rif, had to finally uninstall it because it was getting frustrating.

But honestly lemmy content is really fire and I don’t really feel the need to look elsewhere, except for some niche communities. I’m thinking about opening a second private instance that just mirrors the few reddit communities i miss.

rmuk,

No. I went cold turkey in mid-June. I logged back in last week to use Power Delete Suite to automatically edit every post and comment I ever made to this and then deleted my account.

I’ll still use Reddit read-only and with cookies blocked if I stumble upon (ahahaha) it through a search or something.

Are you trying to trick people into clicking on reddit? /j

Only for one community and only occasionally (like once every 3 days or so, I check the news, learn new stuff and move on). Oh, and today I was there to request all my data.

fing3r,

Not since the blackout, no.

WolfRun24,

Nope! While lemmy is still missing a lot of things, such as large amounts of text posts and comments, and smaller communities, I’ve found other ways to fill the gaps. I browsed nosleep a lot and have found some nice series’, but that won’t make me go back. Also Tumblr exists to fill the smaller community gaps

phoukas,

Let me know if you ever find a good nosleep alternative!

I’m mostly just using it for subreddits that don’t have an equivalent Lemmy community yet.

Only when I’m googling something that points to reddit. But even then not really as I’m using an extension that redirects all reddit links to their webarchive version.

PochoHipster,

Nah. This is my shitpost home now.

ganjibaiemade,

Almost every subreddits to specific games that I play (Celeste, Hollow Knight, etc), either has no federative alternatives or is still far more active on Reddit. Like 95% of contents I watch does not exist anywhere else.

Same and it’s worse when you find one and you end up being the only person to post in it and you feel it’s too specific to post in the popular gaming communities.

GobsImage,

Nein. I’m done. Ish. If I search for something and the answer happens to be in a reddit post, blahblah.

cdipierr,

It is wild/infuriating how difficult it is to avoid Reddit in search results. It feels like we’ve really let the value of the internet just accrue in one place.

ghostblackout,

No I gave reddit this Reson why I deleted my reddit “I’m done with all the oooo we want money for are investors and so we can go public so lest raise the api price and then foreseeable reopen subreddits that Locked themselves for a protest then say if you don’t like it then we will find people who do”

electrogamerman,

I haven’t for around ten days or so, the last time I went there was to post about lemmy in one of my favorite subs, in order to attract more of them to the same community here on lemmy, but the post was deleted, so im never going back now.

I don’t browse at all on mobile now.

I only use old.reddit on the desktop occasionally now. My Reddit usage has dropped by 80% now I think.

phil299,

Basically my heart is here now and this is where I come for social media , that does not mean I will not use reddit from time to time , but those times are getting less and less, my main reason to use reddit now is to promote lemmy. To give a better idea I spent probably an hour a day on reddit or two or three visits. Now I have not visited for over a week and recent visits have been a few minutes.
