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.
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.
Literally have not been back since I decided to leave before the blackout.
Considering incised to spen hours a day s rolling that place, I haven't missed it and just moved on. 12years or more I was a regular contributor and viewer and quit cold turkey style :)
Occasionally, but always logged out and with an adblocker. It seems to get worse every time I check it.
No, I uninstalled Boost and Infinity about a month ago and haven't looked back.
I logged in once to look up something I had saved, but the mobile site is so irritating to use I gave up.
Sometimes when I need an answer I use wayback machine to read reddit. Don't want to give reddit my engagement and have their cookies in my browser.
Nope, not at all. Uninstalled weeks ago. Actively avoid in search results. Had been subconsciously looking to move on for a long time. See ya later, better things to do and places to be.
Yeah I check hydroponics subs occasionally.
I visit some subs occasionally on old reddit, but have never logged in again. Fuck u/spez.
I drop by Reddit 1-2 times per day but only at home on my PC and using old.reddt. There are still a couple of communities on there that haven't moved to lemme yet.
And my porn account.
Mostly using libreddit, when I need to refer to a specific thread. Otherwise, most of my browsing is in Lemmy.
Also, feel free to have a look at the search function on the sidebar, this question has been asked quite a lot lately, such as https://lemmy.ml/post/1846338
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...
Lemmy still has some issues that need to be addressed for it to fully replace Reddit for my needs
Be honest, do you still use reddit?
If I do a web search I'll still go to reddit if it as a useful thread but I don't actively go on it.
Nope. Not once since June 12th.
Nah, sometimes google tries to make me enter but I just scroll a lil more and use any other result.
Nope
Nope. Without RIF it's painful to look at.
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.
I used to check reddit everyday, some days I'd spend hours browsing. I think I've checked it twice since Apollo went down?
No. I've completely switched to lemmy and couldn't be happier. I'm actually surprised by how much I don't miss reddit, I thought it would be tougher to break out
Yes, though to a much lesser extent than I used to. Sometimes itβs just through web searches that lead to Reddit, though I use Libreddit front-end for that.
And other times, itβs specific subreddits about TV shows. The level and frequency of discussion on Lemmy sadly is not there yet for popular shows, and nonexistent for niche shows.
Nope,
80% is bot reposts anyway.
Nope. Deleted my account and moved in at sh.itjust.works signed in on jerboa and never looked back.
I still look, but mostly to: a) Keep up with the Oakland Athletics fan protest efforts as the A's sub is where that really got coordinated with the larger community b) Try to figure out if some of the oddball subs I am on there and enjoyed have equivalents here, on the Matrix, Telegraph, etc.
I feel like I will kill my account there once those things are resolved enough to make Reddit fully pointless for me.
Yeah unfortunately. There are some subs that haven't migrated over yet and some subs that are active that have really useful info for me (school, language learning, etc.)
no. I mostly used Reddit from mobile, and since Apollo went down, I just used it once from my laptop to find a link. Other than that, 100% lemmy using Wefwef.
no
I do, but not nearly as much as Lemmy.
I used to go to reddit for everything. To scroll aimlessly, just to look at aesthetic photos, to read stories...I even had a multi reddit for text based subs, and a third party app on my watch so I could read text based reddit posts at work.
Now, I only go to reddit if i need the resources of a specific sub (earlier i had a question about an app so i went to their sub to browse and see if there was any advice) or if i'm cross posting content to lemmy to get my communities going.
when i just want to scroll and see what's new, ive been coming straight to lemmy every time.
i'm really trying to interact more too.
Yeah, briefly, but the quality has dropped and I usually just switch back to Lemmy since it feels different. Also, only until Infinity for Reddit stops working; no idea why it still works but it's a matter of time.
In the rare case I need a result that I can't find anywhere else. Otherwise, nah. The way Spez treated the Apollo dev disgusted me enough that I want nothing to do with that site anymore.
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.
i still go on it. but i am migrating from reddit
Only when searching about a particular topic or problem, whether I'm looking something up in a game or just troubleshooting.
Otherwise nothing, no account nor any browsing.
About once or twice a week max. And only because infinity for reddit still works. Nothing much there really. Lemmy actually has been more fun. Just the apps are still a hit or miss
I've only touched Reddit when it comes up when I google something. Haven't used it for anything else for the past month or so.
I only use it when googling questions that I know reddit has the answer for. And I hate it the whole time. I spend only enough time on there to get my answer then immediately close the web page. Call me silly or what you will, but I personally want to give as little interaction with that website as possible now. Fuck u/spez
As for the drama, I subscribe to a couple Lemmy instances that share the drama through Lemmy, that way I can be in the loop without having to be on the actual website.
Nope, been browsing Lemmy since July 1 when I was no longer able to use RiF.
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
