I've popped over a couple times too see what floats to the top of all (or whatever it is that's displayed when you don't log in), and a couple more times when I did a search and Reddit's answers were part of the results set. But I honestly can't be missing that much since every other soc media site I look at has at least half of their threads linking back to something that originated on Reddit.
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 have a couple small communities that I have pull into an RSS reader that still works somehow, but I stay logged out and never comment. 12 year account with 29k karma and I quit cold turkey and mostly went back to RSS feeds.
I deleted my account 1st July. I won't lie there is still a couple of subreddits I'll check out through old.reddit, but mostly due to a recent crush on John Oliver.
I only use it when googling questions that I know reddit has the answer for. And I hate it the whole time. I spend only enough time on there to get my answer then immediately close the web page. Call me silly or what you will, but I personally want to give as little interaction with that website as possible now. Fuck u/spez
As for the drama, I subscribe to a couple Lemmy instances that share the drama through Lemmy, that way I can be in the loop without having to be on the actual website.
I don't scroll through reddit anymore but will use it if a friend shares a link or when looking for something. It was hard the first few days as I found myself opening Sync only to be greeted by the goodbye message. Safe to say I was quite addicted to doom scrolling but happy to have stopped.
Been using Jerboa for 2 weeks now and have not doom scrolled yet, feels good
Nope! On June 30 I used a script to erase all my prior comments and posts and deleted my accounts.
Fuck u/spez.
Until yesterday, Joey for Reddit still worked, but since today it doesn't anymore. I miss r/BestOfRedditorUpdates, so I'll probably use it just for that sub.
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.
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.
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
Nope, been browsing Lemmy since July 1 when I was no longer able to use RiF.
No I gave reddit this Reson why I deleted my reddit "I'm done with all the oooo we want money for are investors and so we can go public so lest raise the api price and then foreseeable reopen subreddits that Locked themselves for a protest then say if you don't like it then we will find people who do"
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.
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.
no
I still look at a few specific subreddits when they pop-up in a search result.
Sometimes when I need an answer I use wayback machine to read reddit. Don't want to give reddit my engagement and have their cookies in my browser.
I clicked by accident on a few links on Feddit that lead to Reddit (people should post archive links instead) and closed the site without reading immediately, otherwise I am clean since I made this account on June 12. I do still miss Reddit a bit, but I will not go back, no matter what the site does. I also reduced my online time drastically which is doing wonders for my mental health and how much I get done in my household.
I went from several hours a day to zero after the blackout, morally I just don't want to support them anymore. I still add 'reddit' to google searches sometimes and look at those, but no more mindless scrolling of the front page.
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.
Still active on some niche communities that they don't want to leave Reddit and only using it on desktop.
For porn yeah but not for anything else. Been away for as long as my lemmy account is old
nope
Cold turkey. I trad an interesting crosspost back-and-forth about the new gold deprecation thing, but other than that, no. 
The official app has bad performance and that's why I only browse on my pc. Usually that's once a week.
Nah, I created a Lemmy account at the start of June (at least the Jerboa installation date says that) and uninstalled boost a few days later. Only checked in on Reddit from time to time with libreddit, to have a look at the John Oliver party.
I deleted or mass-edited all my comments and sent an GDPR request. Only thing left after that is the account deletion.
Didn't want to give them any traffic anymore, so I avoided everything about it.
I’ve noticed I haven’t really been enjoying my time on Reddit anymore. Since the shutdown of Apollo, I’ve found simple tasks like search and going to my favorite subreddits a chore.
Discussions inside of the posts also have deteriorated and I feel like I’m seeing way more AI generated content on askreddit and aita etc. Bots have also run rampant on subreddits like interestingasfuck.
Lemmy is reminding me of Reddit from 2010 . Lots of memes, smaller communities with great discussions. Also love it being connected to Mastodon.
What I’ve realized is I’ve just ended up spending more time outside of any of these apps, which might have ended up being a blessing.
I've checked the frontpage from time to time just to monitor what's changing, but I have yet to log in.
I’ve done some Google searches and looked at Reddit results, and I view some choice subreddits on an RSS feed. But I have not logged in to Reddit since Apollo went down. Lemmy still seems to be getting better every day. While the content drought is still there I have taken to reading a book at night before bed instead. I’m hoping that just becomes a long lasting habit in lieu of scrolling.
I used to spend hours everyday there. Now I only visit for a few minutes a week to check up on a game.
But I'll never touch the official app and I'll never come back, even if they backtracked the API decision, because f u/spez
Not really, since I went back once or twice but then realised how little value I get from there and how much time I waste there. I also try to reduce my time on lemmy but at least everything is new and fresh here.
Nope they got porn here now
But not enough... so I've been told.
I still use Reddit, I didn't move here because I was pissed at apps going away (never used them anyway), just wanted to familiarize myself before I'll be forced to move when they inevitably remove old reddit in the future.
There's still communities important to me that either only exist on Reddit or have way too little engagement here. Until they remove old reddit or that changes, I'll stay on reddit. But I'm doing my part by having disabled ads on reddit (I had them enabled before the third party app stuff).
Some of the specific communities are there but not here or barely alive here (like my phone's brand) so I'm visiting them from PC. Spez gets no moni because I'm always using unblock there though
Occasionally, after seeing something in the news regarding Reddit, I will use libreddit.kavin.rocks to see if that news, or any other negative press is anywhere on r/all.
Most recently was about them removing rewards and coins, and prior to that was code in the app that appears to allude to a cash for karma reward system.
I occasionally poke my head in to see if it's dead yet, but other than that no.
Just checked today and found out that they decided to rob all users of their coins.
Unfortunately some topic specific subs haven't made the jump to Lemmy yet, so for those I still have to check there occasionally
Yes and No.
Smaller communities with no equivalent, I'm there and still active. Technology, memes and world news, I'm here. But I'm also on other sites more again.
I still check some subs, like recent infos on the war in ukraine. And some others that have not catches up in terms of activity…
But it’s getting less and less. I also open Apollo less frequently, realising that it doesn’t work anymore
