Have a look at lemmit.online, it copies reddit's content through a bot and deserves to be more known.
Yes, I noticed it when i saw multiple bot posts in a short amount of time. Spamming posts within minutes without engagement, sounds like throwing junk. Better would be to have organic discussions.
I think it's interesting that people say all third party apps for Reddit are dead because not all of them are dead.
I frequently go to the soccer subreddit in a browser because there's nothing like it out there, the speed with which people upload highlights, the match threads, the official announcements are all there if you care about high level soccer. It's the only thing I really couldn't replace
Nope but I aint lying that there are communities that are not here that I do miss (since they never left Reddit).
No, but I still very occasionally check it but only every couple of days for the niche communities, but only because my reddit app of choice still works - but as soon as it stops I will not miss it.
Which app is that?
Relay for Reddit - but I am guessing the move to the paid subscription is due any day now.
I still browse reddit occasionally to watch videos like/r/crazyfuckingvideos or to read discussion on thr war /r/credibledefense or certain game subs like /r/chess or /r/slaythespire
I haven't made a comment or voted on anything since the API change though. All of the content I generate going forward will go exclusively to Fediverse.
Haven't been back
Just visit the specific subreddits with content that your after using bookmarks while you also use Lemmy. There's no sides to this stuff that you have to choose between.
I went from being on reddit daily to not opening it for almost 2 or 3 weeks now. I haven't had an issue content wise, sure there is some decent informational on the site but, I find a lot of information on it to be outdated anyway
I was lemmy only for a couple weeks but now I'm 50/50. I'd say overall my time on social media is way down, and I'm still not commenting/posting on reddit at all.
I prefer spending time here, but reddit still has most of the content I want.
I agree 100%. I set up a home server after reddit fell, and unfortunately I've been having to use reddit to ask a lot of my questions. The communities for the stuff I need to ask here on Lemmy just don't exist, and on reddit they do, and you'll get responses pretty quickly.
For any kind of programming questions reddit has been far better than lemmy simply because it is significantly more populated.
DDG search still pull it up, so I have to go out of my way to search for stuff here first
I added some small/niche subs to my RSS reader. If something gets posted I'll take a look, but I'm not spending time browsing and getting sucked in anymore.
There is technical content on Reddit that is higher quality than stackoverflow and the rest of the internet has been enshittified. So I’ll still take Reddit search hits over most anything else.
This has always been the hardest part for me; the amount of technical information on Reddit is so valuable and trumps the rest of the Internet in it's esoteric specifics. It makes not looking through it's threads when I'm looking for specific information feel nigh impossible...
