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?

I told myself I would leave gradually but in reality I'm never over there anymore. Its just so annoying and slow to not be able to use RIF.

Meanwhile the fediverse is so new and interesting and way more friendly.

reddit is a source of information. (fact).
but i logged out and will not be going back.

stepanzak,

Only when I search for something and there is a result from reddit, I read that and only that one. Otherwise, no.

Cpo,

Totally off reddit. I have seamlessly replaced one with the other.

Yes, but I’ve realised that I go in less and less.

TwinTusks,

Nope, and I even stop searching for episode discussions on TV shows because most of it is on reddit.

Throwaway,

Lemmy is my new reddit! Haven’t touched it since apollo went down

Nah

pete,

I'm trying to stay away and I do feel like there is a reasonable chance I might be able to.
I recently subscribed to a Lemmy "self-hosted" and "asklemmy" group and content is starting to trickle in real good.

Mostly I feel it's a matter of consolidating Lemmy groups with the same topics into super-groups. This should help with general useability as well as making things more friendly for people moving over from Reddit.
Federation support for other Fediverse products towards Lemmy also will need some work still.

Sir_Kevin,

Only if a google search takes me there. I have no way or desire to view reddit otherwise.

Resistentialism,

I do. But only when I absolutely need to. I kind of miss the uk motorbike dub. But, eh, that’s just life.

If I do need to use it. I go firefox with ghostery, and Ublock origin. But that’s only because, if I search for a problem, reddit usually has it. If it asks me to use the mobile app, then, I can always just tell Firefox to use the desktop site, and I haven’t had an issue with that yet.

burntbutterbiscuits,

Not since July 1st…. For a few days I was refreshing google and yahoo news habitually but so glad I finally found lemmy

whatuptrey,

Nope. It’s the principle, for me. I will not use a site that’s run by a militant idiot. Same reason I deleted my Twitter account (although that was much easier since I never used Twitter to begin with).

hellishharlot,

Apollo shut down so I stopped scrolling reddit. I had a mastodon for a bit and realized I missed how good reddit style social media is in contrast so yay lemmy time

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.
