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?

I have been using the official Reddit app from my cakeday (did not know about all the other apps until they were gone), and have opened the app like every other day but haven't made a comment since I switched to Lemmy.

[-] NotSpez@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

If I do a web search I'll still go to reddit if it as a useful thread but I don't actively go on it.

[-] dominoko@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Nope! Not once since the blackout began.

[-] ConstipatedWatson@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I still use it once per day, late in the evening as there are some international communities which are still lacking, I look forward to completely stopping to do it

No. I've checked my inbox and profile page several times, but that's it. Reddit is dead to me.

[-] blazera@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I stopped by once to double check my stuff was still deleted.

[-] SinJab0n@mujico.org 3 points 1 year ago

Nah, sometimes google tries to make me enter but I just scroll a lil more and use any other result.

[-] lfr1138@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I still look, but mostly to: a) Keep up with the Oakland Athletics fan protest efforts as the A's sub is where that really got coordinated with the larger community b) Try to figure out if some of the oddball subs I am on there and enjoyed have equivalents here, on the Matrix, Telegraph, etc.

I feel like I will kill my account there once those things are resolved enough to make Reddit fully pointless for me.

[-] AnonStoleMyPants@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah I check hydroponics subs occasionally.

[-] Gsus4@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

I visit some subs occasionally on old reddit, but have never logged in again. Fuck u/spez.

[-] R9442@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Only when searching about a particular topic or problem, whether I'm looking something up in a game or just troubleshooting.

Otherwise nothing, no account nor any browsing.

[-] daddyrat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] oSillyScope@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Nope. Deleted my account and moved in at sh.itjust.works signed in on jerboa and never looked back.

[-] zanyhog33@lemmy.jcaks.net 3 points 1 year ago

I used to check reddit everyday, some days I'd spend hours browsing. I think I've checked it twice since Apollo went down?

[-] ODuffer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I just did some searching for the best grind size settings for my Aeropress. Some of the search results led to Reddit, I clicked on them and felt a bit dirty lol. Funnily enough a few of results still led to private groups. Reddit will still be a source of information about niche topics. Let's hope Lemmy becomes that source instead...

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nope. Not once since June 12th.

No. I've completely switched to lemmy and couldn't be happier. I'm actually surprised by how much I don't miss reddit, I thought it would be tougher to break out

[-] HerrBoedefeld@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

So, personally i'm done wirh reddit. But i still go there every once in a while to target about ten very specific subs which aren't even remotely replicated in the fediverse for the foreseable future. See, there's this chatgroup i maintain with my not so ultra tech savvy parents and a handful of goofy dog/cat/bird videos a day brightens their work days with a minute of joy. They would never browse reddit or even the fediverse and this tradition came at basically no "extra cost" since i scrolled reddit any day anyways. Now i don't want to stop bettering their lives out of my idealism against reddit so i bite the bullet for now. I'm not engaging in reddit anymore, just go straight to some subs and that's about it. Since this is content often posted by casual users very much like my parents i doubt we will see a big influx of this kind of content in the fediverse any time soon, if ever. So yeah, i still go there.

[-] abnormal_258@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

i still go on it. but i am migrating from reddit

[-] coldv@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Myro@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

No. Haven't touched it since they killed 3rd-party apps and don't intend to (exception are Google search results, though I use Teddit as a frontend there.

[-] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

I have not used it since some time in early June.

I have technically logged into my account -- but only because I've opened Relay Pro. In spite of everything, it appears to still update everything, and the last app patch update message I saw said that they had implemented changes to reduce API usage (this after July 1).

But I haven't interacted with reddit beyond that, and I don't plan to. It's not about anger at reddit anymore either -- I actively like Lemmy better. It reminds me of old reddit.

[-] Alperto@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

no. I mostly used Reddit from mobile, and since Apollo went down, I just used it once from my laptop to find a link. Other than that, 100% lemmy using Wefwef.

[-] uhauljoe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I do, but not nearly as much as Lemmy.

I used to go to reddit for everything. To scroll aimlessly, just to look at aesthetic photos, to read stories...I even had a multi reddit for text based subs, and a third party app on my watch so I could read text based reddit posts at work.

Now, I only go to reddit if i need the resources of a specific sub (earlier i had a question about an app so i went to their sub to browse and see if there was any advice) or if i'm cross posting content to lemmy to get my communities going.

when i just want to scroll and see what's new, ive been coming straight to lemmy every time.

i'm really trying to interact more too.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, briefly, but the quality has dropped and I usually just switch back to Lemmy since it feels different. Also, only until Infinity for Reddit stops working; no idea why it still works but it's a matter of time.

[-] krzysd@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Just check nsfw but images hosted by Reddit that are NSFW are slow to load and seem to have been slow for quite a while, so my rate at which I check it tapered from few times a day to now once or twice a month

[-] inspxtr@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, though to a much lesser extent than I used to. Sometimes it’s just through web searches that lead to Reddit, though I use Libreddit front-end for that.

And other times, it’s specific subreddits about TV shows. The level and frequency of discussion on Lemmy sadly is not there yet for popular shows, and nonexistent for niche shows.

Nope, been browsing Lemmy since July 1 when I was no longer able to use RiF.

I still check out a couple hobby subs every day or two (via mobile browser, not the app). And if I'm looking for a certain type of information or advice, im still typing "[info desired] reddit" into google.

[-] Joe_0237@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago
[-] livus@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I told myself I would leave gradually but in reality I'm never over there anymore. Its just so annoying and slow to not be able to use RIF.

Meanwhile the fediverse is so new and interesting and way more friendly.

[-] SpezHater69@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I pretty much only use it to add at the end of a google search. I feel like lemmy might be lacking in hits if I tried that

[-] datavoid@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Scrolled for maybe 3 minutes total in the past month... Was a heavy commenter before that.

[-] HipPriest@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Maybe 2 or 3 times a week. There's some support communities on there that I'm a part of and check in with on there.

But learning about Reddit's behaviour the last month or so has been something of an eye opener and for now I'm enjoying exploring here (and actually reading ebooks again) as an alternative

[-] Stefh@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

I deleted my profile, but of course I still land there sometimes from Google results

[-] wolf@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don’t browse Reddit routinely anymore like i would before. But I’d still visit it once in a while to read about discussion on niche subjects.

[-] Blaze@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mostly using libreddit, when I need to refer to a specific thread. Otherwise, most of my browsing is in Lemmy.

Also, feel free to have a look at the search function on the sidebar, this question has been asked quite a lot lately, such as https://lemmy.ml/post/1846338

[-] NinjaCheetah@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I only go to reddit now if I look something up and get a link to it. I don’t go there to browse anymore.

[-] shashi154263@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes, the /r/Cricket sub hasn't moved from reddit yet. But nothing more.

However, I don't use the reddit app. I'm using Boost only. If it stops working, I might not use reddit at all.
