I left Reddit in early 2022 and never looked back.
There's a few things that I follow that do have communities here, but little to no engagement in those communities. I'll occasionally get on to look at those subreddits for updates, but I don't have an account anymore so I don't log in and I don't engage with the communities. I also use RES so they don't get any of my advertising revenue. Someone had linked a read only Reddit client before but I can't remember what it was, If anyone does remember let me know so I can switch to that.
Only when googling stuff I sometime add site:reddit.com
, but I am no longer browsing reddit on my phone. With the death of RIF and APIs I just can't stomach looking at the page.
And good bless old.reddit redirector plugin.
Of course not!!
<.< >.>
I use it for finding information on Google, but other than that nah
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 take the occasional peek to see if it imploded yet. I do miss certain communities. Only last week I was looking for some info on a historical subject. Google turned up nothing so I wanted to r/askHistorians. I hate they decided to stay on reddit and don't switch to lemmy.
@001100010010 Nope, all gone. I used to browse daily via an app on my phone.
Nowdays I've setup my own lemmy instance, and typing "reddit" on my phone will launch jerboa instead, so that takes care of covering for the bad habbit :D
Only if a search result organically takes me to something that happens to be on Reddit.
I do notice that a lot of the subs I find this way are now locked to 18+ (the SwiftUI sub) which means I have to login to view. Since I deleted my account that’s a no go.
I created a libreddit instance for myself, so if I want to browse a specific subreddit that hasn't moved away, (e.g. /r/warthunder) I can without using the official site.
A little bit, but I have been favoring Lemmy. If they kill old.reddit I'm out though.
Rarely. Without RiF I legitimately hate reddit on mobile using old reddit. I'll lazily browse sometimes when I'm at a PC but it's super limited to topics I haven't found on here yet.
I admit I wasn't intending to leave Reddit. Sure, I absolutely wasn't going to install the damn official app, but I browse Reddit way more on desktop that on my phone. But it turns out my time spent on Reddit absolutely tanked without me doing much. Lemmy turned out to be a better replacement for me than I expected, I could find a lot of interesting activity here unlike, say, Mastodon where I had to dig further.
That does not mean I left Reddit entirely lol, but I sure enter way less now.
there's a single community there that i read but don't engage with, because they haven't found a new home. also, while problem solving some tech issues, qwant and ddg both feed me reddit as threads to find solutions, but i digest the info and dont sign in, upvote, comment etc
Only if my search engine gives a result for technical advice I need.
Nope, and I even stop searching for episode discussions on TV shows because most of it is on reddit.
Yes. I like reddit’s posts more, but the Memmy app is more stable on my phone than the official reddit app, plus no ads. So I’m currently using both, but as Lemmy’s community grows and matures I’ll probably start using reddit less.
I still use reddit for an esports club sub and a couple games-specific subs. Most of the fan interaction of said esports club is via reddit, and the game subreddits are semi-official, so they didn't move over.
Still using it with Apollo cause the Apps for lemmy are sadly still leagues behind Apollos UX. Also my fav subs/community’s (eg. HFY) or rather their content is still absent from here. But I am hopeful that in the future that will change.
Not really. The only time I ever go to reddit is if I want info about a really niche subject and the post is usually several years old anyway.
Only when I search for something and there is a result from reddit, I read that and only that one. Otherwise, no.
I purged my comments and deleted my main account on July 1st, which was surprisingly emotional for me. I use Alien Blue on mobile, which still works so far, but now that my main account is logged out, I'll never be able to log another account in because authentication has been broken in Alien Blue for a while.
I'm keeping Alien Blue installed for two reasons: one, for checking on a friend who only posts updates on reddit, and two, I read r/games a couple times a week for headlines and discussion. Lemmy just doesn't have the same level of engagement or discussion as r/games; even though there's a certain brand of insufferable commenters there, the majority of people post thoughtful comments that are more than one or two sentences long and those are the kinds of threads I like reading. Lemmy threads seem to be more shallow; lots of replies to the parent, but very few threads that go more than one or two comments deep.
Why is this pinned? And which apps let you block instances wholesale?
reddit is a source of information. (fact).
but i logged out and will not be going back.
Reddit is my place to check on news about the ongoing war. For some reason it wasn't banned in r*ssia and is availiable without vpns. Lots of exiles from other places joined subreddits there.
I don't feel like this blogosphere would move into fediverse. Occasionally, reddit became the right place for this.
Fuck no
i modded a copy of apollo to use my private api. until they cut that off, i still do.
