Almost entirely dropped reddit except sometimes for specific games or some 3D printing stuff

[–] MrPloppy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I miss some of the content but certainly not Reddit the company.

dropped reddit, yes. For lemmy? Not sure yet.

[–] Trent@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I stopped participating, and mostly using it. I've been back a couple times when a search for information led me there, but otherwise I haven't used it.

[–] LoamImprovement@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I mostly stopped using it when RIF announced they'd drop support. Deleted my account and everything, although I do still pop into subs that haven't migrated over.

[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 year ago

Other than occasional query leading to it at work - i haven't been there at all.

It was very easy for me, though. This is the same environment as the one Inhad found on Google+ when that launched - full of technical geeks. I like that so I stayed.

I sort of did. I still have an account, but I only use it in the browser and very rarely, from like hourly use to maybe once a week when I can remember.

Well I kept using it until Infinity died, which was only at the start of this month!

If I do decide to go back, it will be by compiling the infinity APK with my own API key, but I'm not feeling much of an urge to bother at the moment.

[–] 13617@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Same here, I'm using connect for Lemmy, it has good UI and I only ever scrolled the all or popular page on Infinity

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I deleted my Reddit account (24k karma, I think, about 10 years old?) and went with Lemmy. It's fine, though I miss a couple gaming subs.

[–] peeweejd@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I left during the blackouts.

[–] TheShitAbyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Me, I don't use Reddit just because I purely used Joey and never downloaded the official app.

I pop over to reddit maybe 1-2 times a day for a few subs. My daily driver is lemmy though.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I did. I do visit once every few days for the communities that haven't seen a big exodus. I was a Sync user, now I use Jerboa. It's actually on par with Sync imho. So I donated to Jerboa the exact amount Sync's developer was asking (sixteen euros).

[–] PrincessZelda@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I still browse Reddit about as much as Lemmy, because many communities haven't taken off here yet.

[–] evistre@possumpat.io 2 points 1 year ago

I Reddit exclusively on my desktop now, not on mobile where I did most of my browsing. I also pared back my usage to fewer communities.

I use Discuit primarily now, checking Lemmy (Beehaw mostly) very occasionally.

[–] Clipboards@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I lurk but Reddit is completely dead to me. I haven't used it more than once or twice since the API change

I didn't. However, I read Lemmy until I run out of interesting posts, then switch to reddit until the ads make me angry. Then I do something productive.

[–] ChadyzGroove@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I mostly have. However I do not spend anywhere near as much time on Lemmy as I did on reddit. When all the third party stuff started going down I really started to assess how I used the Internet and had to change things. I was using Sync for Reddit on Average 2.5 hours a day which is just insane. Over the course of a decade it was like a year of real time and was really eye opening how much time I was wasting.

Now I set an app timer for Sync for Lemmy for 1 hour a day I rarely hit it.

I do check reddit, but I do not have an app installed, it's mostly to check something specific rather than endlessly scroll.

[–] toyvo@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

When the blackout started I deleted sync for reddit and a month ago I heard of lemmy, and now I'm back on sync, but for lemmy this time

[–] miffmaff@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I dropped reddit on mobile, but on desktop i still use it from time to time. Although i was never really a heavy user to begin with.

[–] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It depends on your definition of "dropped." Most people who moved from Reddit to Lemmy don't fall into the category of deleting their account and switching over 100%, rather Lemmy has filled the role of Reddit for most but not all of their browsing.

[–] quack@discuss.online 2 points 1 year ago

I use Lemmy to browse, and Reddit for search. E.g. If I want to checkout general online stuff people are discussing/sharing this is the place. If I want to look up frying pan recommendations I google "reddit le creuset"

[–] youpie@lemmy.emphisia.nl 2 points 1 year ago

i only use Reddit for technical questions on communities that don't exist on Lemmy or are inactive. I'm not using Reddit anymore for browsing but I'm not gonna artificially limit myself from that great resource for some performative activism

[–] merak7@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I am read ~70% lemmy vs 30% reddit. In my opinion this is because community is important. And reddit-community still be a big and active 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] Ichiro_kun@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I did. 💀
