Be honest, do you still use reddit?

Only in google search results.

Mainly using Lemmy. Was recently trying to migrate all of the Subreddits to Lemmy. Still have ReVanced Sync for Reddit installed, and Relay. Reddit has many more communities that I’m afraid Lemmy won’t get to see, perhaps because the audience just uses the default Reddit app, but I’m hopeful. Even for Subreddits that moved to Lemmy, I feel like I get to see more content that I’m interested in, in the same period of time, even if I change the sorting. I usually see different content if I reopen any Reddit app, but Lemmy often shows me mostly the same posts for a day or so.

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.

I went from several hours a day to zero after the blackout, morally I just don’t want to support them anymore. I still add ‘reddit’ to google searches sometimes and look at those, but no more mindless scrolling of the front page.

No. I’ve checked my inbox and profile page several times, but that’s it. Reddit is dead to me.

I lost power last night and had nothing to do… lemmy, sadly, doesn’t have as much content yet so I popped in once just to see. Spent like 10 min there with no account since I did delete it and realized it also wasn’t showing me much either.

Having an account with everything you like really helps the experience, glad I looked and felt better when it also didn’t really give me the fix I wanted. Power is back and I don’t forsee myself going back anytime soon, outside very specific google searches where I might find relevant information needed to do my job.

Now and again I jump on for niche information for my hobbies. But only on desktop, and only on old.reddit.com

unabatedshagie, 10 months ago

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.

Yeah, unfortunately. I’m trying to switch over fully but there’s still some subreddits that I can’t replicate on Lemmy. I’ll be off once I get alternatives to all the snake, big cat, and bird subs that I use to look at cool animals, though. iNaturalist just isn’t as browsable.

I usually check r/ModCoord and try to post some mandatory fuck u/spez.

For casual browsing I use lemmy

letsgo, 10 months ago

Only for the naughty stuff. I’ve unsubbed from everything on my main account and haven’t logged in for ages, but not gone as far as deleting my messages (can’t be arsed, tbh). Lemmy’s Naughty Stuff For Wankers isn’t quite where Reddit’s is yet but it’s getting up there.

scorpiosrevenge, 10 months ago

Nah deleted my acct like a month ago

biscuitsofdeath, 10 months ago

Nope

I used RIF for close 10 years. Comparatively speaking, just trying to browse Reddit via app or in it’s browser is straight up r/eyebleach

Patch it with Revanced and create a free personal API key. Boom.

Daisyifyoudo, 10 months ago

I appreciate the advice, but really don’t know what any of that means lol. And honestly, sounds like a bunch of steps to access a site I don’t have any interest in viewing or participating in anymore.
