I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don't look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I'd go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I got my uBlock Origin ready to kill all the ads. That shitty website will not get a cent out of me.

What about you? Do you still use reddit?

Only via libreddit.hu

[-] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I still use reddit if I'm at my desktop which is rarely. Haven't touched it on mobile since the API change.

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 i’ll scroll twitter more…

[-] BromSwolligans@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sometimes I open up the home page to see what's up, then I see what's up is less interesting than it used to be and less interesting than what's happening here. And I close it pretty quickly. I'm still using it as part of my Google searches when I need quick human answers. It's gonna continue to be a historical resource in that regard. No getting around that. But my account only exists so that I can access those resources without too much fuss. It's not something I use to post or contribute. I used the Sign In With Apple feature to just generate a throwaway anonymous account after I deleted my 11 year old account.

I slipped maybe twice by accident via google search results but that’s it. Until I need to get opinions to buy something it will be okay I guess.

[-] styx@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I do. I have a personal libreddit instance on a vps tho, so no login, no update, no comments, no ads. Basically no touch, only watch 😆

[-] Nath@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Use reddit? I still have my work account for when Google sends me there.

Visit Reddit? No.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

No. I only really use my phone for everything. It's impossible to see the old website on mobile and the regular website is hot garbage, and somehow their app is even worse. There is no way for me to access Reddit and have a pleasant experience anymore.

Reddit basically forced me to go to Lemmy. I was mad at first, but now 3 weeks into it (1 week casual before the Baconreader died and then 2 weeks of redditesque addiction) I really don't mind. There are some subs I really miss, but hopefully someone makes communities for them soon. (Malicious compliance and HobbyDrama are what immediately pop into my head)

i still have a million things 'saved' on reddit i need to check out and there's that one niche sub i lurk that doesn't seem to want to migrate but other than that nah

[-] coros@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes but as Lemmy grows I’ll probably stop. There’s still some local subreddits that haven’t made the move. Since I don’t use Facebook, it’s the only way to get the local happenings.

[-] neko@fishfry.cheese.beer 1 points 1 year ago

My small 3rd string city's community is only like one guy on here, but it's active on there

[-] eldrichhydralisk@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Nope. I quit cold turkey on June 30 and haven't been back. Well, not on purpose, at least. Sometimes a Google result sends me to Reddit, but when it loads I just close it and move to the next result. Lemmy works fine for everything I used Reddit for.

[-] Kritoke@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Not completely, there are still some niche, non-technical communities that are probably never going to switch. I hope at some point they do, but still go once in a while to check. I don’t go daily like I used to, mostly do lemmy daily since the apps are getting so good now.

[-] phoenix591@lemmy.phoenix591.com 1 points 1 year ago

theres a couple communities stuck on there I still check on, but no longer casually browse.

[-] Resistentialism@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I do. But only when I absolutely need to. I kind of miss the uk motorbike dub. But, eh, that's just life.

If I do need to use it. I go firefox with ghostery, and Ublock origin. But that's only because, if I search for a problem, reddit usually has it. If it asks me to use the mobile app, then, I can always just tell Firefox to use the desktop site, and I haven't had an issue with that yet.

[-] lalay721@feddit.it 1 points 1 year ago

There are just two subs I check about once every two days, but I'm yet to log in again after I disconnected my account last month. I used to only visit it through Libreddit as the UX is better anyway but now that one's gone too...

[-] B3_CHAD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Yes as there are certain subs that aren't on lemmy. But I have been visiting it a lot less since lemmy.

[-] RagnarokOnline@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Went back for like a day after my main amount on v.lemmy went down with the server.

After a day I couldn’t stomach it anymore. Reddit All is just a bunch of warzone footage or clickbait news.

I created a new main on a new Lemmy server and am loving being here.

[-] notun@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Of course I do. It's reddit.

[-] mdmachine@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I was a joey user. But already had my lemme already set up for this day. I might use reddit just to track the events of the Ukraine war and some stable diffusion stuff. But most of that discord and telegram can be used instead.

Maybe occasionally subredditdrama to see the meltdowns happening. For now I'm trying to see which lemmy app I like best. Right now connect seems to be the one I am using most.
