Drastically reduced my usage and now spend that time on other side projects / reading. I miss the large volume of comment but don't miss being treated like an obstacle (like how reddit leadership sees their users)
I do for niche communities, especially those for reading / books / literature. There’s fewer of those here on Lemmy, and the ones in languages other than English are nonexistent.
Two subreddits that I check on occasion for information/memes, both of which I'm hoping will eventually gain traction here. I don't have an account though.
only when searching for minecraft modding stuff, although i don't have an account anymore
No
Nope,
80% is bot reposts anyway.
I literally only use it to check if there's a new Chainsaw Man chapter out so I open r/ChainsawMan once every two weeks, that's about it
No.
I have a few RSS feeds of niche subreddits that I can’t find alternatives to, but I deleted my account on 30th June
I'm trying to stay away and I do feel like there is a reasonable chance I might be able to.
I recently subscribed to a Lemmy "self-hosted" and "asklemmy" group and content is starting to trickle in real good.
Mostly I feel it's a matter of consolidating Lemmy groups with the same topics into super-groups. This should help with general useability as well as making things more friendly for people moving over from Reddit.
Federation support for other Fediverse products towards Lemmy also will need some work still.
Only if I'm researching something and the top results are Reddit links. Otherwise no.
I lurk on my country's subreddit once a day through libreddit or on browser with ads blocked. I used to do that for a couple other small subs but I don't bother doing it as much anymore, I just check what's posted there like 1-2 times a week at this point
I look into niche communities that I can't find in a suitable way on the fediverse, but I don't engage anymore. No comments, no posting, no up- or downvotes, no gilding (lol). I am sitting on 17100 of these coins and I will watch them melt away when Reddit removes rewards.
Nah
I have an RSS subscription to r/ebookdeals and an account that was previously to keep nsfw browsing separate from main browsing and access that now is subscribed to r/modcoord and r/3rdpartyapps to watch the drama that I occasionally check in on once a week or so, but otherwise Lemmy is my regular browsing home.
I keep the app on my phone. I use it as a porn site at this point.
I don't use it any more. At most when people refer to something Reddit here, specially in c/snoocalypse, I check it then archive it then link the archive.
That said I don't blame people who still use it, even if I encourage people to not to.
I've clicked a few links about walkthrough questions for niche games, but deleted the app (yes, I used the official app) on the 12th and haven't logged in since. Kbin/Lemmy is great for content and I'm loving the interaction on Mastadon.
Eh, I still use it a little bit. I follow Blue Jays games via the team's subreddit, and the Pathfinder community hasn't really migrated over, so scan that every couple of days. And the memes have just clobbered my feed these last couple of days, even after blocking most of the meme groups.
But I'm using Reddit very differently now.
Actually I left reddit long before migration.... Came to know about Lemmy only after the API controversy...
I nuked all the content of my Reddit account, then forced it to be banned from Reddit. After that, blacklisted the domain from my computer so that it just returns a (ERR_NX_DOMAIN) and migrated to KBin instead
Been happy since
After everything went down and Sync stopped, my usage dropped considerably. I was still using Joey and Infinity for light browsing, but I haven't really browsed Reddit in about a week and have been on Lemmy and Kbin exclusively. I feel more engaged here too.
Browsing Reddit just seemed different, like the quality of posts and comments dropped considerably.
I usually check the subreddit redditmobile to see if they actually fixed the app.
Edit: But yea, honestly I probably won‘t go back to Reddit. Lemmy seems to be a great alternative.
I log in for one niche sub that has no activity in the Lemmy equivalent, and only once every few days.
Literally have not been back since I decided to leave before the blackout.
Considering incised to spen hours a day s rolling that place, I haven't missed it and just moved on. 12years or more I was a regular contributor and viewer and quit cold turkey style :)
I still visit about 3 sub-reddits, all on a browser with ad-block, and I completely avoid commenting, I probably should start using libreddit. Haven't touched the front page since the initial blackout
Totally off reddit. I have seamlessly replaced one with the other.
I stopped entirely. When I draw a fanart of something I'll post it, but I haven't drawn any fanart recently.
About 85% of my reddit browsing had been on pretty niche subs, so I'm still using reddit to engage in those communities (of those that haven't shut down). I'm trying to contribute to the equivalents here too, but the engagement is still on reddit for now.
The other 15% was just the occasional trip to /r/all to see if there was anything interesting going on there, to which the answer was usually... no. That's pretty much been replaced by here now.
I slowed down when the announcement was made about third party apps. I quit entirely when RIF turned off. Now I participate here, started my own community, contribute to others as much as I can, and finally figured out how to host my own instance. It's been fun seeing it grow slowly.
lemmy has completely replaced reddit for me ngl, it's pretty much the same experience, for me at least, and I actually like it here more, people are more engaging and I got 100+ upvotes on a post for the FIRST TIME!
honestly I don't see myself going back, I will miss finding a niche sub and having enough content there for me to scroll for hours but hey, we'll get there too eventually!
I’m currently in the process of replacing Reddit with Lemmy. I’m keeping Reddit for the sole purpose of being linked there from Google Results and until I get used to Lemmy, how it works, and find communities that are relevant to me.
I do find Lemmy interesting in how , despite being in an instance, you can still see posts from other instances and such. I am still getting used to it, so will keep Reddit around until I am completely accustomed to it.
Someone linked mlmym.org
which mimics oldreddit... I feel at home now.
I go back to check hometown sub once or twice a day. if I go to the front page, I only make it through about half before I realize what I'm doing and switch. Quite honestly, it feels poisonous. Whatever algorithm they have my brain has decided it can live without.
I logged in once to look up something I had saved, but the mobile site is so irritating to use I gave up.
Scrammed and deleted all comments and got accounts banned [for saying fuck u/spez].
I only lurk a few places that don't exist here in a meaningful way. Discovery is harder here and desktop socks without RES.
I was searching for a fix for some MS bullshit and clicked on a link that had a good answer... and lo and behold, Reddit. "Came for the cats, stayed for the empathy." Yes, they still have that on the banner. Lol!!
I deleted my account during the "strike", and this was my first time back. I couldn't upvote the poster, and for a second that made me sad.
I used reddit pretty much exclusively on my phone through the Boost app. When that went dark, I didn't really feel the need to go out of my way to download a far worse app, so I stopped checking reddit.
Tech support searches sometime bring me back, but I haven't really been back otherwise since the boycott started.
Yeah, unfortunately. I'm trying to switch over fully but there's still some subreddits that I can't replicate on Lemmy. I'll be off once I get alternatives to all the snake, big cat, and bird subs that I use to look at cool animals, though. iNaturalist just isn't as browsable.
