Nope, and I used to do a lot of Reddit - like several times a day, and usually entire evenings just browsing. I used PowerDeleteSuite and deleted my account, and I use an RSS reader with an adblocker for the 2-3 local subs I truly can’t find the same info for elsewhere. One is a university I teach at, and the only exception I’ve made to this was to create a throwaway to answer a question about salaries and point the person who was hoping to teach to our union contract. Worker solidarity > Reddit drama.
I go to check specific subreddits but I'm no longer a daily user
Not one little bit. I used to be a big fan of reddit, spent 12 years there but as soon as Sync stopped working I deleted my account and never went back.
I do, but I'm trying to quit
Yes, I'm using Lemmy on my phone but on my lunch at work and stuff on my computer it's Reddit still. I am evangelizing Lemmy though.
On June 30 I deleted my two accounts, ran a script to change all my comments to say the account was deleted in protest (to limited success, and Im sure they’ve probably been reverted by now) and have only been back since twice due to a tech support question only having a google indexed answer easily available on Reddit.
I am no longer actively engaging with that platform. I’ve found though using voyager on my mobile devices and skimming lemmy aimlessly my need for “content” is wholly satisfied.
Redreader is still working.
Maybe once a week using RiF ReVanced for
- Checking two small subreddit
- Delete comments that haven't been visible anymore but now are again (because I deleted newer comments, now the older ones starting to appear again)
managed to shift my idle browsing here. though i was kind of weening off reddit slowly over the past years. with lemmy exploding it has brought back some of that feeling of exploring and looking for communities i was missing on reddit haha
sadly nebula.tv sends you to reddit for comments on their exclusives, that is one holdover that is also unlikely to go away...
I've visited a couple of times. My preferred app (relay) is still working, but I'm guessing I'll jump ship completely once relay is affected, Lemmy has mostly replaced my Reddit habits anyway.
I do for a few communities where I want news updates that doesn't seem to have anything comparable here yet.
Other than that though, I try to limit any mindless scrolling to lemmy (managed to cut that down a lot)
Basically my heart is here now and this is where I come for social media , that does not mean I will not use reddit from time to time , but those times are getting less and less, my main reason to use reddit now is to promote lemmy. To give a better idea I spent probably an hour a day on reddit or two or three visits. Now I have not visited for over a week and recent visits have been a few minutes.
I do, but only to support FOSS users in some communities that are not here [yet]. There is no opnsense community here in Lemmy, so when I see questions there in reddit, I help where I can.
However, my "bio" or whatever it is called in reddit, clearly states that I have moved to Lemmy permanently.
I am actually considering creating a opnsense community here and hoping that Franco will come and join, and take over ownership.
I still use it. The HFY community is still on Reddit and I enjoy reading the stories.
The API changes haven't really affected my experience since I always browsed Reddit on my desktop through the browser.
I have reduced my usage by about 90%. The hockey community here is just not active enough for my hockey news needs.
Absolutely not. I have not logged in once since the day the protest started.
I am lurking and watching the dumpster fire at this point , reddit went full Authoritarian on Dndmemes and sacked a bunch of cool mods because we turned it into a goblin porn subreddit for the shutdown/blackout and the admins did not like that... so I am posting here now and watching Reddit burn in the distance.
I don’t browse at all on mobile now.
I only use old.reddit on the desktop occasionally now. My Reddit usage has dropped by 80% now I think.
I completely switched to lemmy for my random scrolling. But the main community for a game is still there so sometimes I keep lurking that subreddit only (exclusively from pc)
Since I started using Lemmy, not much. I am mostly on here now.
No
Me personally no, I quit on June 11th and I haven't looked back. My husband on the other hand looks at it periodically. He showed my something from r/PartyParrot yesterday thinking it was cool and I had to tell him it was a popular repost. Pretty much cemented the fact that I'm not missing anything.
Nope, not at all. Uninstalled weeks ago. Actively avoid in search results. Had been subconsciously looking to move on for a long time. See ya later, better things to do and places to be.
Maybe once a week? To check on some specific subs, but I revert back to my old lurker ways when I’m there and never contribute.
I open the app out of muscle memory a few times a day, infinity still works somehow, but most of my subs have been closed/dead now anyway so not really.
I still use reddit but only when Google search results points me to it and via a teddit (alternative frontend) instance so I don't give them a dime with ads nor a visit, but teddit is slowly dying (Error: 429 "Too Many Requests") because they decreased the limit of posts it could load, so you have to switch between instances until it finally loads, but thankfully, a script does that for you automatically (thanks to bezier-curve from Hacker News https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36726442) : https://pastebin.com/zFJ5nb42
Also, to be automatically redirected from reddit to your favorite teddit instance, you could use this extension for Firefox (I'm not using Chrome sorry) : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reddit-to-teddit-redirect/
To help prevent 429 errors from happening, you can still help by creating more teddit servers! : https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit
I deleted my 9 year old account once Bacon Reader stopped working for me.
I haven't been back on Reddit since shortly before July 1. I enjoy the vibe here right and the novelty of something new hasn't worn off yet.
Some subreddits I was more into like Destiny 2's and Diablo 4 don't seem as busy here so I have a feeling I may need to lurk over there still from time to time.
Same here. I'm not actively browsing or looking for information from Reddit, but if it's unavoidable, then so be it. I can't ignore the wealth of information still there.
No. I went cold turkey in mid-June. I logged back in last week to use Power Delete Suite to automatically edit every post and comment I ever made to this and then deleted my account.
I'll still use Reddit read-only and with cookies blocked if I stumble upon (ahahaha) it through a search or something.
Haven't been there since the blackout, don't miss it. I've always gone there with desktop browser running uBO so I never did see adds there except for inline stuff once in a while. That's one nice thing about Lemmy, looks exactly the same whether the blocker is on or off.
Nope.
I just recently got around to archiving posts of mine before deleting my account, so I literally have no ties other than those on the Wayback Machine.
Needless to say, I don't go back and I do my absolute best to avoid any and all links from it whenever possible.
Nah. I’m more casual, and didn’t even need it for specific information. I haven’t been back in weeks. Plus, I really like the more civil environment I’ve found on the instances I’ve joined. Additionally, the users are actually listened to, and the mods/devs are genuinely trying to create a better experience. It’s something I want to be a part of, rather than the dumpster fire of greed, anger, and manipulation that is reddit.
Didn't visit at all since June.
And I don't miss it :)
I only check my profile occasionally to see if I need to run the super deleter on it again.
Nope deleted my account 2 days ago
Got a couple niche subs I still check once in a while. Otherwise I don't read reddit anymore nor do I comment and vote.
I have always lurked Reddit, I have never made an account. With Lemmy, I contribute instead of lurk as I feel I have a part to play in it's early growth for it to succeed. But that being said, I occasionally check the front page and a few specific subreddits but not quite as frequently since I joined Lemmy.
Oh, and when I do, I use LibReddit to view reddit, so nothing even official.
Occasionally I use reddit to find answers to questions about topics that aren't really available on lemmy
Kept using 3rd party apps until they shut down. I personally wouldn't be caught dead on the offical reddit app just on principal. I tried using the desktop site a couple times until I found Lemmy!
The major exception to this is if I look up a question or something and theres an answer on Reddit, I'll still click that link.
