Nope, nothing proprietary on my watch.

Got a couple niche subs I still check once in a while. Otherwise I don't read reddit anymore nor do I comment and vote.
I do for a few communities where I want news updates that doesn't seem to have anything comparable here yet.
Other than that though, I try to limit any mindless scrolling to lemmy (managed to cut that down a lot)
On June 30 I deleted my two accounts, ran a script to change all my comments to say the account was deleted in protest (to limited success, and Im sure theyβve probably been reverted by now) and have only been back since twice due to a tech support question only having a google indexed answer easily available on Reddit.
I am no longer actively engaging with that platform. Iβve found though using voyager on my mobile devices and skimming lemmy aimlessly my need for βcontentβ is wholly satisfied.
I have reduced my usage by about 90%. The hockey community here is just not active enough for my hockey news needs.
Nah. Iβm more casual, and didnβt even need it for specific information. I havenβt been back in weeks. Plus, I really like the more civil environment Iβve found on the instances Iβve joined. Additionally, the users are actually listened to, and the mods/devs are genuinely trying to create a better experience. Itβs something I want to be a part of, rather than the dumpster fire of greed, anger, and manipulation that is reddit.
Yeah, but with RedReader. There's a few niche subs I like that aren't well-established here yet.
I really used reddit to lurk and scroll when I was bored. If I can't use the app I'm used to, there is no reason for me to return. Especially with the way they have been treating the community, I havent been back for about 3 weeks. I downloaded a lemmy app and put that in the same spot as rif was, and I havent looked back.
Yes, I'm using Lemmy on my phone but on my lunch at work and stuff on my computer it's Reddit still. I am evangelizing Lemmy though.
I do, but I'm trying to quit
Redreader is still working.
Maybe once a week using RiF ReVanced for
- Checking two small subreddit
- Delete comments that haven't been visible anymore but now are again (because I deleted newer comments, now the older ones starting to appear again)
I do, but only to support FOSS users in some communities that are not here [yet]. There is no opnsense community here in Lemmy, so when I see questions there in reddit, I help where I can.
However, my "bio" or whatever it is called in reddit, clearly states that I have moved to Lemmy permanently.
I am actually considering creating a opnsense community here and hoping that Franco will come and join, and take over ownership.
I haven't been back on Reddit since shortly before July 1. I enjoy the vibe here right and the novelty of something new hasn't worn off yet.
Some subreddits I was more into like Destiny 2's and Diablo 4 don't seem as busy here so I have a feeling I may need to lurk over there still from time to time.
I've visited a couple of times. My preferred app (relay) is still working, but I'm guessing I'll jump ship completely once relay is affected, Lemmy has mostly replaced my Reddit habits anyway.
I am lurking and watching the dumpster fire at this point , reddit went full Authoritarian on Dndmemes and sacked a bunch of cool mods because we turned it into a goblin porn subreddit for the shutdown/blackout and the admins did not like that... so I am posting here now and watching Reddit burn in the distance.
Haven't been there since the blackout, don't miss it. I've always gone there with desktop browser running uBO so I never did see adds there except for inline stuff once in a while. That's one nice thing about Lemmy, looks exactly the same whether the blocker is on or off.
Same here. I'm not actively browsing or looking for information from Reddit, but if it's unavoidable, then so be it. I can't ignore the wealth of information still there.
Nope. Having finally hammered down the local vernacular ("instances"/"communities") of Lemmy, I am so at home here. I miss RiF, but Liftoff is serving me well
The RIF app was reddit to me. I would typically spend over an hour per day on it.
I do still check Reddit maybe once a day on my desktop, maybe for about 5 minutes. There are still a few communities on there which don't have an active alternative here on Lemmy. However, I have deleted all my old posts and comments, and I do not make any new ones.
No, I uninstalled Boost and Infinity about a month ago and haven't looked back.
I still use it once per day, late in the evening as there are some international communities which are still lacking, I look forward to completely stopping to do it
Logged out, sometimes I use rif to check on some subreddits.
Not going to delete my 9 year old account because if I do that they will keep all the comments.
I've looked maybe a handful of times over the past couple weeks, mostly to look at /r/modcoord and /r/save3rdpartyapps. Even then, I used libreddit. Other than that, I've not visited for really any other reason.
Lemmy + Mastodon is doing a good enough job being my daily time waster. There's definitely less content here but I am but one man, it's not like I could go through all of Reddit's bot-generated daily content anyway.
Yeah I check hydroponics subs occasionally.
I visit some subs occasionally on old reddit, but have never logged in again. Fuck u/spez.
Just check nsfw but images hosted by Reddit that are NSFW are slow to load and seem to have been slow for quite a while, so my rate at which I check it tapered from few times a day to now once or twice a month
I just did some searching for the best grind size settings for my Aeropress. Some of the search results led to Reddit, I clicked on them and felt a bit dirty lol. Funnily enough a few of results still led to private groups. Reddit will still be a source of information about niche topics. Let's hope Lemmy becomes that source instead...
Kept using 3rd party apps until they shut down. I personally wouldn't be caught dead on the offical reddit app just on principal. I tried using the desktop site a couple times until I found Lemmy!
The major exception to this is if I look up a question or something and theres an answer on Reddit, I'll still click that link.
Nope! On June 30 I used a script to erase all my prior comments and posts and deleted my accounts.
Fuck u/spez.
I used to check reddit everyday, some days I'd spend hours browsing. I think I've checked it twice since Apollo went down?
Hadnβt been in 3 days besides accidentally opening Apollo. Iβm going to stop by one of these days and edit and delete my comments and posts.
Nope
i still go on it. but i am migrating from reddit
Almost never.
Sometimes when I need to troubleshoot or am looking for specific information, then I will add reddit. It still shines there.
But don't have a login anymore and I don't visit daily. Lemmy has become my main now.
Actually I left reddit long before migration.... Came to know about Lemmy only after the API controversy...
So, personally i'm done wirh reddit. But i still go there every once in a while to target about ten very specific subs which aren't even remotely replicated in the fediverse for the foreseable future. See, there's this chatgroup i maintain with my not so ultra tech savvy parents and a handful of goofy dog/cat/bird videos a day brightens their work days with a minute of joy. They would never browse reddit or even the fediverse and this tradition came at basically no "extra cost" since i scrolled reddit any day anyways. Now i don't want to stop bettering their lives out of my idealism against reddit so i bite the bullet for now. I'm not engaging in reddit anymore, just go straight to some subs and that's about it. Since this is content often posted by casual users very much like my parents i doubt we will see a big influx of this kind of content in the fediverse any time soon, if ever. So yeah, i still go there.
No, I have a couple small communities that I have pull into an RSS reader that still works somehow, but I stay logged out and never comment. 12 year account with 29k karma and I quit cold turkey and mostly went back to RSS feeds.
No
I think its been almost a month, since I intentionally went to Reddit. More than 3 weeks anyway.
Just to check some niche subreddits. Browser only, no sign in. And once I find what I need on the lemmyverse I'm all done.
I have not used it since some time in early June.
I have technically logged into my account -- but only because I've opened Relay Pro. In spite of everything, it appears to still update everything, and the last app patch update message I saw said that they had implemented changes to reduce API usage (this after July 1).
But I haven't interacted with reddit beyond that, and I don't plan to. It's not about anger at reddit anymore either -- I actively like Lemmy better. It reminds me of old reddit.
