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?

Rarely. Without RiF I legitimately hate reddit on mobile using old reddit. I'll lazily browse sometimes when I'm at a PC but it's super limited to topics I haven't found on here yet.

A little bit, but I have been favoring Lemmy. If they kill old.reddit I'm out though.

Only when googling stuff I sometime add site:reddit.com, but I am no longer browsing reddit on my phone. With the death of RIF and APIs I just can't stomach looking at the page.

And good bless old.reddit redirector plugin.

there's a single community there that i read but don't engage with, because they haven't found a new home. also, while problem solving some tech issues, qwant and ddg both feed me reddit as threads to find solutions, but i digest the info and dont sign in, upvote, comment etc

i still have a million things 'saved' on reddit i need to check out and there's that one niche sub i lurk that doesn't seem to want to migrate but other than that nah

I admit I wasn't intending to leave Reddit. Sure, I absolutely wasn't going to install the damn official app, but I browse Reddit way more on desktop that on my phone. But it turns out my time spent on Reddit absolutely tanked without me doing much. Lemmy turned out to be a better replacement for me than I expected, I could find a lot of interesting activity here unlike, say, Mastodon where I had to dig further.

That does not mean I left Reddit entirely lol, but I sure enter way less now.

There's a few things that I follow that do have communities here, but little to no engagement in those communities. I'll occasionally get on to look at those subreddits for updates, but I don't have an account anymore so I don't log in and I don't engage with the communities. I also use RES so they don't get any of my advertising revenue. Someone had linked a read only Reddit client before but I can't remember what it was, If anyone does remember let me know so I can switch to that.

Why is this pinned? And which apps let you block instances wholesale?

[–] Nath@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Use reddit? I still have my work account for when Google sends me there.

Visit Reddit? No.

My small 3rd string city's community is only like one guy on here, but it's active on there

[–] calebcharles@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

Cold turkey. I trad an interesting crosspost back-and-forth about the new gold deprecation thing, but other than that, no. οΏΌ

Only via libreddit.hu

[–] ButhJolokia@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Not really. Checked it a couple of times, but I'm sticking with Lemmy. Don't miss it, don't need it.

[–] samae@bidule.menf.in 1 points 1 year ago

@001100010010 Nope, all gone. I used to browse daily via an app on my phone.

Nowdays I've setup my own lemmy instance, and typing "reddit" on my phone will launch jerboa instead, so that takes care of covering for the bad habbit :D

Of course not!!

Still using it with Apollo cause the Apps for lemmy are sadly still leagues behind Apollos UX. Also my fav subs/community’s (eg. HFY) or rather their content is still absent from here. But I am hopeful that in the future that will change.

[–] fosiacat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

i modded a copy of apollo to use my private api. until they cut that off, i still do.

[–] Kronusdark@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Only if a search result organically takes me to something that happens to be on Reddit.

I do notice that a lot of the subs I find this way are now locked to 18+ (the SwiftUI sub) which means I have to login to view. Since I deleted my account that’s a no go.

[–] amoroso@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I left Reddit in early 2022 and never looked back.

[–] kluevo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I still use reddit for an esports club sub and a couple games-specific subs. Most of the fan interaction of said esports club is via reddit, and the game subreddits are semi-official, so they didn't move over.
