I dropped it, and this is a good thing. I started to become addicted to my phone.

I quit when Joey for Reddit finally got taken down.

Honestly, the people here seem kinder and more intelligent, even if I don't agree with what they're saying.

[–] Wayren@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Dropped it and haven't looked back.

I've looked at the site but I don't contribute anymore. I've made a few comments telling people to look at another site for answers to their technical questions. Dropping seeds that will branch away from reddit.

The popular sort for Canada increasingly resembles voat. When it was becoming overrun by the far right dog whistles. The signature right wing botted subreddits seem to be a mainstay on the top sorts. That says a lot about how it's going.

I'm only now switched over because infinity for reddit free finally died

I almost left reddit years ago after one of their constant BS things but the API one was the last straw. They lost 4 relatively active accounts when I left. It has been great watching the communities on the fediverse grow.

I kept Infinity installed until it finally stopped working. In the last few weeks, there was basically nothing good on Reddit anyway so I'm ok with dropping it.

I'm hoping more people come to Lemmy and we get lots of content here!

I was a part of the chapo exodus and found myself just going to the hexbear instead of the reddit to the point that I just pop into reddit like once or twice a year.

Without RiF, there is no Reddit for me.

[–] Washburn@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The last sub I used a bunch was r/traa. I really had no reason to go back to Reddit once it shut down.

Now we have c/traa on Hexbear meow-bounce

I use a mix myself. I browse lemmy on mobile with Voyager, and Reddit on PC. Now if lemmy had active communities for my personal interests I’d be more interested, but it’s mostly generic news and such right now

[–] tehmics@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

For general memes and doom scrolling I'm 100% on Lemmy. Content is somewhat sparse but that just helps me limit scrolling time. I purged my post history so my profile is blank.

I still sometimes use Reddit from Google searches to look up specific things or specific communities. When I make the mistake of clicking the home feed the default experience is so bad that I pretty much immediately close it.

Full adoption is still lacking due to the breadth of niche communities and information that is tied up on Reddit. Is there any reddit archival efforts to preserve the information?

[–] Magnus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

I did so that's at least one.

I thought this was going to be more of polling post.

Anyway I did. I deleted my account and haven't gone back for anything since then. It's rough too cause now there's no connection to the local groups here.

I joined a local instance hoping there would be local people posting but I guess that's not how lemmy works.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I was on RIF for years, deleted everything and haven't gone back. It's kinda liberating, I don't spend nearly as much time here as I did Reddit, and it scratches the itch.

[–] mulcahey@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've almost entirely dropped reddit for Lemmy. I still go back to reddit for tech support and some niche communities that haven't made the jump yet. But I'd guess that my reddit usage is down 90% YOY.

I did. signed out of all Reddit accounts once on my PC and uninstalled Apollo when it was on life support once Spez started outwardly idolizing Elon Musk. Fuck that shit I’m out

Now I only use Reddit wherever I need tech support and google has something for me that I need. I also installed Reddit to redirect extension to the wayback machine it I go there

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 5 points 2 years ago

Maybe make a poll?

[–] Krompus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I didn’t stop using Reddit but I use it much less now, and I seldom post anymore. I’ve noticed a significant drop in quality; lots of good posters and mods left.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I guess you could look at how many users Lemmy added during the drama, most likely near 100% of those were Reddit refugee. I did switch when it became clear reddit overall was getting too shitty, too big & corporate.

[–] flubba86@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Me too. I haven't used Reddit at all since RIF stopped working on 1st July.

[–] colourlesspony@pawb.social 4 points 2 years ago
[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

You can make a few educated guesses based on the jump in lemme users at the time the protest happened.

I still look at Reddit occasionally. But I my usage is like a tenth what it was.

[–] rab@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

I dropped reddit and I don't really use lemmy that much either

[–] megane_kun@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Stopped (regularly) browsing it mid-June. Still haven't deleted my accounts because I am still not sure if all of my comments and posts over there have been truly cleaned off.

It's a pain when search results point me to Huffman's site, but with the Privacy Redirect add-on redirecting me to an alternative frontend, and failing that, manually checking the archived version of the page, I've mostly eliminated any visits to that place.

[–] ghostblackout@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago
[–] vamp07@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I maintain my account for reference, but rarely visit unless I'm searching for something unavailable here. All my interactions take place here.

[–] Goodtoknow@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

I did for Lemmy + Tildes + a bit of Hackernews.
