When searching for info, yes. But just daily use and scrolling no

No. They ban VPNs, so if I happen to follow a link that leads there, I get the "login to see this" page, shrug, and go somewhere else.

It's easy to circumvent, but rarely worth the effort. The content was getting mostly shit-worthless even before I left. It's only gotten worse.

There's not useful, factual information on 4chan, these days.

Not really. I've stopped by a few times because I was looking for specific information and that's where it was to be found, but other than that, I went from checking in dozens of times a day to quitting could turkey.

I don't. Fuck Reddit and fuck spez

Like many others on here, only to search for some specific information. And never logged in to an account anymore.

I miss sports game threads. The Lemmy communities are just not taking off enough for me. I am tempted to open up a reddit account for talking shit in game threads only.

Only time there is because Google links to an answer there. Other than that, nope.

There are a few communities on there which I still check, but I spend a significantly less amount of time on Reddit than I used to. I also refuse to post anything or interact on that site anymore.

Unfortunately yes. Unfortunately Lemmy is too small for many of the things I did on Reddit. I mainly enjoyed lurking around in discussions on Reddit, only posting comments when I really cared (just like I do now here on Lemmy). Whenever I played a game, watched a show, etc I'd go to Reddit to read about other people's opinions and discussions. But Lemmy is too small to have any meaningful discussion about a specific game or some other content.

Often I see here the "if you miss it why not create it" sentiment, but that's just not how I used Reddit. I often don't want to have a meaningful discussion with s small group of people but rather read the opinions and memes of a large group of people.

So far, I've been able to limit it to browser usage though. The web experience of Reddit is abysmal, but at least I can block the ads etc. And I'm still here for all the content that is on Lemmy.

I deleted my account, but still use it for information on occasion. I use a front end for it when I do.

Nope, Spez or one of his admin goonies fixed that for me.

Perma-banned, for stating facts about Elon Musk and his Boring Company's 'Not A Flamethrower'

Obligatory FUCK SPEZ

Don't use my Reddit account anymore, and now I obsessively check and contribute to discussion on Lemmy instead of Reddit.

As a search result, sure I'd click on a Reddit link once in a while, but other than that I've stopped interacting with Reddit altogether.

I don't log in or post there any more, but there are still a few occasional subreddits that don't have analogs here that I'll sporadically browse anonymously.

I still use it if searching for information on a search engine; like, doing a site search on Reddit for answers on certain things.

I don't expect to be going back unless something blows up here. For most purposes, the Threadiverse has passed the traffic threshold I need to be engaged.

Yes, because niche communities are much smaller here if not non-existant. Communities about Classical Chinese, poetry, various academic humanities subjects and the like isn't exactly thriving on here. I try to use the fediverse when I'm able to though, and also try to support smaller communities, but yeah..

Only when a contact sends me a Reddit link, which I open through Geddit as to not give them any ad revenue, and I do not comment or vote at all.

I don't actively search for stuff fhere either.

I want Lemmy to be a viable alternative and do use it. But, the lack of niche communities makes it harder. I do go back to Reddit from time to time for that fix and to keep up with a few things.

Without an account and on a web browser? Yes.

Do I regret it? Also yes. That site barely works half the time anymore. It's kinda funny how my only real choices of browsing Reddit are either super bloated or super ugly (the latter refers to old.reddit.com). Want neither? As of 2023 you can't.

Only when I'm googling a question and I see an answer in reddit.

Never interacting tho.

No

Nope. Not unless I need to Google something and the best result is a reddit thread

Fuck Reddit

I use old for some of the technical subreddits like cisco, Fortinet, and sysadmin.

Nope.

No

On a browser, yes, but only for one sub because the community there is 1M+ and over here is 10 and no one has posted in 9 months.

Yes but only on desktop, not mobile. I use lemmy from both.

nop

I never left, I just started using both.

Probably the "final straw" would be shutting down old.Reddit. Unless they do something else unexpectedly awful that I haven't thought of.

Only to answer obscure questions I have. But I'm not there to participate

Nah, abandoned it over a year ago

Yes but primarily via RSS feeds to keep up with news

Generally no. R/ sysadmin is very helpful; but I usually end up there from a search rather than browsing reddit

Not unless a random search takes me there for a non-answer to my obscure question.

I didn't visit Reddit for 8 months or so after the API fiasco, but gradually started going back for a handful of niche communities whose fediverse counterparts are dead or nonexistent.

No. There's just repost bots left. There's no point in going back, I've already seen all the posts several times over the years.

Yes, but less than I did. Mostly to visit my local sub. The one one Lemmy is just me shouting into the void it seems...

I was banned, so I cannot.

Yup. Stuck to my guns for over a year, and Lemmy didnt grow like I thought it would. Started using Reddit more regularly again in September.

Now, I do still only use it in the browser, no app, so my usage of Lemmy still far surpasses Reddit.

But there are some communities that either never made the migration or faced active hostility, so, gotta go to Reddit to be a part of them 🤷‍♀️.

The porn is still better over there so...

Not unless I need to get some info from a niche country sub that barely exists on lemmy

And even then no login, read only.

Much prefer messing around here. I only just got my first ban from NCD because I said the US would prevent Ukraine from joining NATO which kind of made me look like a Russian shill which I assume is the #1 spam NCD receives.

Otherwise I have really enjoyed being able to share my opinion without getting admin/mod banned, even on communities and instances with a lopsided set of users.

I have pissed off both ml and world users which is funny because they each claimed I was from the opposite instance. But no such thing as shadowban or user nuking. I can actually discuss things here in detail, as well as receive quality posts from all of you :)

Deleted my account the day third-party apps were killed. I do browse it on the phone daily using Libreddit though, but only specific communities. I also have LibRedirect setup on my computer, so it redirects me to an Libreddit instance when I click on Reddit links from search results. There’s still a lot of valuable knowledge there so it is hard to avoid.

Yup. My town has a pretty active subreddit, and the Cyberpunk RED subreddit has great material.

Not since the API debacle. It is sad to see that the user base could not organize enough to change Reddit. I bet the takeaway for Reddit was that they can do whatever and people will always come back.
