what is this “reddit” thou speak of?

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 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.

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.

I really used reddit to lurk and scroll when I was bored. If I can't use the app I'm used to, there is no reason for me to return. Especially with the way they have been treating the community, I havent been back for about 3 weeks. I downloaded a lemmy app and put that in the same spot as rif was, and I havent looked back.

I completely stopped using it.

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.

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.

Id say 80% Lemmy 20% Reddit now.

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 go to check specific subreddits but I'm no longer a daily user

I basically only use my phone these days and when third party apps died so did Reddit to me.

Not unless a search result sends me there. Although I'll admit there's a couple hobby related subs I'll check once a week for news, but that's about it, dropped it completely otherwise.

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'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.

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)

Nope deleted my account 2 days ago

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.

Yeah, but with RedReader. There's a few niche subs I like that aren't well-established here yet.

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)

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.

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.

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.

I deleted my 9 year old account once Bacon Reader stopped working for me.

No

I only check my profile occasionally to see if I need to run the super deleter on it again.

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.

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

Nope.

Nope. A couple of clicks via Google, but that’s it.

I did until they killed joey today. Now I have no reason to go back.

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.

Redreader is still working.

Nope, nothing proprietary on my watch.

I still have my account, but I dropped all the apps and am no longer logged in in any of my browsers. I also still have some reddit rss feeds
@asklemmy

I use it to check anime episode discussions, it will probably get worse with time but its the only place I trust to read the comments. Also I still put reddit at the end of the search bar cuz the internet right now is just so full of useless articles about everything

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.

Yes but way less. Voyager app for Lemmy is dope by the way

Didn't visit at all since June.

And I don't miss it :)

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.

Occasionally I use reddit to find answers to questions about topics that aren't really available on lemmy
