I stopped entirely. When I draw a fanart of something I'll post it, but I haven't drawn any fanart recently.

I don't use it any more. At most when people refer to something Reddit here, specially in c/snoocalypse, I check it then archive it then link the archive.
That said I don't blame people who still use it, even if I encourage people to not to.
I have pretty much stopped.
Itβs not usable on my phone and now searches are basically buggered with a number of subreddits being nsfw. So for example I was searching something specific to pop_os and canβt view the thread. Just closed it. Will block Reddit returns in Kagi now most likely.
I think there may have been a day or two where I looked at it for a few minutes in the browser at work over the past couple of weeks.
Two subreddits that I check on occasion for information/memes, both of which I'm hoping will eventually gain traction here. I don't have an account though.
i still scroll a little bit. a few subs with content i cant really get anywhere else. tbh the content on lemmy is very bare so iβll scroll twitter moreβ¦
Not since July 1stβ¦. For a few days I was refreshing google and yahoo news habitually but so glad I finally found lemmy
Drastically reduced my usage and now spend that time on other side projects / reading. I miss the large volume of comment but don't miss being treated like an obstacle (like how reddit leadership sees their users)
About 85% of my reddit browsing had been on pretty niche subs, so I'm still using reddit to engage in those communities (of those that haven't shut down). I'm trying to contribute to the equivalents here too, but the engagement is still on reddit for now.
The other 15% was just the occasional trip to /r/all to see if there was anything interesting going on there, to which the answer was usually... no. That's pretty much been replaced by here now.
I think I'm like most people here on this one. I avoid Reddit unless I absolutely need to find an answer to a question that can only be solved by a random saint from, like, 5 years ago
lemmy has completely replaced reddit for me ngl, it's pretty much the same experience, for me at least, and I actually like it here more, people are more engaging and I got 100+ upvotes on a post for the FIRST TIME!
honestly I don't see myself going back, I will miss finding a niche sub and having enough content there for me to scroll for hours but hey, we'll get there too eventually!
Iβve only popped in to check on a drama once since.
Lemmy is working for me. Thereβs less content and commenting but itβs noticeably picking up in the last few days.
Someone linked mlmym.org
which mimics oldreddit... I feel at home now.
I go back to check hometown sub once or twice a day. if I go to the front page, I only make it through about half before I realize what I'm doing and switch. Quite honestly, it feels poisonous. Whatever algorithm they have my brain has decided it can live without.
only when searching for minecraft modding stuff, although i don't have an account anymore
Only if it turns up in a search result for something. I refuse to install their crappy app on my phone and Lemmy scratches enough of the itch that I havenβt been tempted back
I'm trying to stay away and I do feel like there is a reasonable chance I might be able to.
I recently subscribed to a Lemmy "self-hosted" and "asklemmy" group and content is starting to trickle in real good.
Mostly I feel it's a matter of consolidating Lemmy groups with the same topics into super-groups. This should help with general useability as well as making things more friendly for people moving over from Reddit.
Federation support for other Fediverse products towards Lemmy also will need some work still.
I was searching for a fix for some MS bullshit and clicked on a link that had a good answer... and lo and behold, Reddit. "Came for the cats, stayed for the empathy." Yes, they still have that on the banner. Lol!!
I deleted my account during the "strike", and this was my first time back. I couldn't upvote the poster, and for a second that made me sad.
I do on my desktop, but my mobile browsing (which is the vast majority) is all lemmy.
I used reddit pretty much exclusively on my phone through the Boost app. When that went dark, I didn't really feel the need to go out of my way to download a far worse app, so I stopped checking reddit.
Tech support searches sometime bring me back, but I haven't really been back otherwise since the boycott started.
Stopped using on June 30, deleted content. Nuked account on July 9 (10th cake day).
Need a replacement for r/xwingtmg and come October, hopefully c/anes will be as game day active as r/canes, but fuck Spez.
I do, but not nearly as much. Probably spend about half the time if not less then before Apollo went down. Opening up GitHub to check on Voyager updates probably as often as I am opening up Reddit.
I blocked it at the router, so nowadays I don't use it unless there's an article I really need to access
No
Yeah, Lemmy doesn't have everyone over from Reddit.
I lurk on my country's subreddit once a day through libreddit or on browser with ads blocked. I used to do that for a couple other small subs but I don't bother doing it as much anymore, I just check what's posted there like 1-2 times a week at this point
I have not gone to Reddit just to "use reddit" since discovering lemm.ee a couple weeks ago. Sometimes still end up on specific threads through search results, especially for obscure stuff on older video games.
No.
Only in read only mode.
I go there through Tedit sometimes when info I need comes up in a search, but I haven't logged in or browsed the site directly since the API protest blackout.
Weird how I seem to have more free time now. Must be a coincidence.
It still comes up on google when you need to figure out an obscure issue and is usually the best answer, although I'm trying to limit it. Other than that, I deleted my account and am long gone.
I do for niche communities, especially those for reading / books / literature. Thereβs fewer of those here on Lemmy, and the ones in languages other than English are nonexistent.
Yes, only for fap purposes.
Yes, but when I go to my multireddits, it's a barren desert of absolute n00bs asking questions that can be googled in five seconds. Makes me really miss what it used to be. I hope Lemmy gets more engagement.
Sometimes. I'm very active on Reddit before the Reddit API change. I have moved to Lemmy since. Since Reddit is blocked in Indonesia, I usually use it as a secondary platform. I just checked it once in a while when using a VPN or using DNS-on-HTTPS.
Yes. But instead of spending ever free minute on it I'll only check it once or maybe twice a day.
Most communities I cared about feel less lively. Except for maybe two or three.
No, I do not. Except when I'm looking for something and reddit is the only place where I can find my answers. But that rarely happens.
I have an RSS subscription to r/ebookdeals and an account that was previously to keep nsfw browsing separate from main browsing and access that now is subscribed to r/modcoord and r/3rdpartyapps to watch the drama that I occasionally check in on once a week or so, but otherwise Lemmy is my regular browsing home.
Scrammed and deleted all comments and got accounts banned [for saying fuck u/spez].
I only lurk a few places that don't exist here in a meaningful way. Discovery is harder here and desktop socks without RES.
I've clicked a few links about walkthrough questions for niche games, but deleted the app (yes, I used the official app) on the 12th and haven't logged in since. Kbin/Lemmy is great for content and I'm loving the interaction on Mastadon.
Only if I'm researching something and the top results are Reddit links. Otherwise no.
I am surprised how little I miss Reddit after June. I realised I was really dependent on RIF. I downloaded an RSS app instead (Inoreader) and followed some subs that I used to frequent. I check it once every few days as opposed to many times a day before the collapse.
I nuked all the content of my Reddit account, then forced it to be banned from Reddit. After that, blacklisted the domain from my computer so that it just returns a (ERR_NX_DOMAIN) and migrated to KBin instead
Been happy since
