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?

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.

[-] Knightfall@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] FapMaster69@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I use it for two things: checking out protest stuff and checking the only subreddit (it's a small one) that's actually keeping me on Reddit.

[-] NekoKamiGuru@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] haywire7@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Logical@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Since I started using Lemmy, not much. I am mostly on here now.

[-] olorin99@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Only when a link brings me there or though a ddg search. No more browsing.

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.

[-] opux030@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

Nope! Not once since the blackout began.

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

Yeah I check hydroponics subs occasionally.

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

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.

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

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.

[-] J12@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Hadn’t been in 3 days besides accidentally opening Apollo. I’m going to stop by one of these days and edit and delete my comments and posts.

[-] 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?

[-] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Almost never.

Sometimes when I need to troubleshoot or am looking for specific information, then I will add reddit. It still shines there.

But don't have a login anymore and I don't visit daily. Lemmy has become my main now.

Yes, but much less than I used to. When I don’t have a particular goal in mind and just want to doomscroll a bit, I find myself checking Lemmy first, and only if I run out of things to read, which I usually don’t, do I move on to Reddit.

There are still some niche communities that are active on Reddit and not here. So I do still go over there on purpose for those.

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.

[-] Steve@compuverse.uk 3 points 1 year ago

I think its been almost a month, since I intentionally went to Reddit. More than 3 weeks anyway.

[-] 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

I have reduced my usage by about 90%. The hockey community here is just not active enough for my hockey news needs.

[-] 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.

[-] Lotsen@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Sometimes for fixes and stuff but not much anyomore

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

Just to check some niche subreddits. Browser only, no sign in. And once I find what I need on the lemmyverse I'm all done.

[-] oyenyaaow@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

2 subs, one of them i go in every few days and go through almost every new posts and some older ones for quite some time now, and haven't found a similar one here. and /whatisthisthing because seriously there are a lot of new interesting things there. and i guess i'll answer if i ever were there. if old reddit is gone, i'm gone.

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

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

[-] 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.

[-] 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

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

Yeah unfortunately. There are some subs that haven't migrated over yet and some subs that are active that have really useful info for me (school, language learning, etc.)

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

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.

[-] jhn@xffxe4.lol 3 points 1 year ago

I logged in once to look up something I had saved, but the mobile site is so irritating to use I gave up.

[-] circuitfarmer 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.

[-] a4ng3l@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I slipped maybe twice by accident via google search results but that’s it. Until I need to get opinions to buy something it will be okay I guess.

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

Deleted the app, deleted my account. Haven't been back.

[-] King@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lemmy still has some issues that need to be addressed for it to fully replace Reddit for my needs

Be honest, do you still use reddit?
