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...

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.
No, I uninstalled Boost and Infinity about a month ago and haven't looked back.
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 :)
I don't browse it (I have a redirector rule that links me right out of Reddit), but if I need to access it for something, I just tack on old.
as a bypass.
I still look at a few specific subreddits when they pop-up in a search result.
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.
Until yesterday, Joey for Reddit still worked, but since today it doesn't anymore. I miss r/BestOfRedditorUpdates, so I'll probably use it just for that sub.
I don't scroll through reddit anymore but will use it if a friend shares a link or when looking for something. It was hard the first few days as I found myself opening Sync only to be greeted by the goodbye message. Safe to say I was quite addicted to doom scrolling but happy to have stopped.
Been using Jerboa for 2 weeks now and have not doom scrolled yet, feels good
I deleted my account 1st July. I won't lie there is still a couple of subreddits I'll check out through old.reddit, but mostly due to a recent crush on John Oliver.
Iβm currently in the process of replacing Reddit with Lemmy. Iβm keeping Reddit for the sole purpose of being linked there from Google Results and until I get used to Lemmy, how it works, and find communities that are relevant to me.
I do find Lemmy interesting in how , despite being in an instance, you can still see posts from other instances and such. I am still getting used to it, so will keep Reddit around until I am completely accustomed to it.
I I still use it on desktop since I can still use the old design and I run several layers of adblock.
On mobile I basically never use it now unless a search result forces me to it. Lemmy needs work, but I've gotten it to a usable state in mobile.
I really home Baconreader makes a lemmy version because that was the only way I used reddit mobile.
After everything went down and Sync stopped, my usage dropped considerably. I was still using Joey and Infinity for light browsing, but I haven't really browsed Reddit in about a week and have been on Lemmy and Kbin exclusively. I feel more engaged here too.
Browsing Reddit just seemed different, like the quality of posts and comments dropped considerably.
I go there just to read about the state of affairs regarding Reddit itself.
Not really, I try to avoid it even when something i'm looking for is there, though sometimes I just cant be bothered to look elsewhere. I hope someone gathers all the useful information from there into archive somewhere, in case something happens to it.
Nope
I deleted my account around the start of the original blackout, and from then only really checked r/ModCoord & r/Save3rdPartyApps. These days I only really briefly pop into r/ModCoord to check for any updates on the situation.
No. I've checked my inbox and profile page several times, but that's it. Reddit is dead to me.
I went from several hours a day to zero after the blackout, morally I just don't want to support them anymore. I still add 'reddit' to google searches sometimes and look at those, but no more mindless scrolling of the front page.
I've popped over a couple times too see what floats to the top of all (or whatever it is that's displayed when you don't log in), and a couple more times when I did a search and Reddit's answers were part of the results set. But I honestly can't be missing that much since every other soc media site I look at has at least half of their threads linking back to something that originated on Reddit.
I clicked by accident on a few links on Feddit that lead to Reddit (people should post archive links instead) and closed the site without reading immediately, otherwise I am clean since I made this account on June 12. I do still miss Reddit a bit, but I will not go back, no matter what the site does. I also reduced my online time drastically which is doing wonders for my mental health and how much I get done in my household.
2 subs, one of them i go in every few days and go through almost every new posts and some older ones for quite some time now, and haven't found a similar one here. and /whatisthisthing because seriously there are a lot of new interesting things there. and i guess i'll answer if i ever were there. if old reddit is gone, i'm gone.
No.
Purged all my posts and comments, deleted my 12-year-old account (65k+ karma) and uninstalled Boost. Now I only go there occasionally from search results.
Apollo shut down so I stopped scrolling reddit. I had a mastodon for a bit and realized I missed how good reddit style social media is in contrast so yay lemmy time
Since deleting my account the only times I've been on it were when a search for a solution led me to it. So like 5 times.
Nope. Itβs the principle, for me. I will not use a site thatβs run by a militant idiot. Same reason I deleted my Twitter account (although that was much easier since I never used Twitter to begin with).
Only if a google search takes me there. I have no way or desire to view reddit otherwise.
Lemmy is my new reddit! Haven't touched it since apollo went down
I still use it for a couple of hobby related things although I could probably use discord for some of it.
Whilst I am using lemmy it's not quite hitting the spot so I use it less. I'm getting an awful lot more reading done.
I've checked the frontpage from time to time just to monitor what's changing, but I have yet to log in.
Yes. I like redditβs posts more, but the Memmy app is more stable on my phone than the official reddit app, plus no ads. So Iβm currently using both, but as Lemmyβs community grows and matures Iβll probably start using reddit less.
I do because there are a lot of valuable infos, but I 'm deliberately not voting and commenting.
Yup for those little weird subs I'm still on.
Yeah, there are a few subs that haven't made the transition.
No. I bounce between here and my main Lemmy instance. I prefer KBin in general, but there are already usable apps for Lemmy.
I literally only use it to check if there's a new Chainsaw Man chapter out so I open r/ChainsawMan once every two weeks, that's about it
I don't really go to reddit since the apps got killed and I refuse to use the pile of garbage the official app is. Aside from a few niche subs there really isn't much to see there anymore, especially in summer. It's all edgy kids and bots now for the most part.Whatever sense of community there once was is long gone.
Only for superstonk and wallstreetbets. I find the fediverse including Mastodon enough for me. I was never a Twitter guy, but I created a Mastodon account on Infosec and it's amazing the knowledge and people you can find out there.
Only if a Google search points me to an answer to a specific problem.
I purged my feed from over 150 subs I would spend the first and last few hours each day browsing and commenting from my bed to less than 20 I lurk every few days from my pc, almost all of which are gaming communities with no fediverse replacements.
I donβt have Apollo anymore so I donβt go to Reddit anymore from mobile, but i use it from time to time on desktop
