Be honest, do you still use reddit?

Roughly a month on Lemmy now and the habitually visit of Reddit completely faded out. Lemmy replaced Reddit without any compromises for me. I'm also trying to establish a Bass-guitar related Community here, so there's a bigger investment for me to get things going here.

The Lemmy apps are fine, but I've been disappointed in the quality of Lemmy posts and discussion. It's too many memes, not enough good quality thoughts, discussion, content, community. It's unfortunate. Wanted this to be the place I die.

Permanently Deleted

Nope. If I can't use Sync I won't use Reddit.

I return for some very specific subreddits, but each day less and less.

Only when a search engine points me to a very obviously correct and well worded answer to a tech problem. I don't log in.

Nope. Gone all-in on Lemmy. Also used it as an opportunity to cull communities that I'd subscribed to ages ago and never got round to removing. Started from scratch and building my subscriptions again - quite therapeutic actually!

Honestly yes, at first I really thought Lemmy could replace it but the content is just bad on Lemmy’s all. The platform is good, but when 60% of posts are shitty memes or shitpost it just kills it for me. I still browse Lemmy almost every day, but I really feel like we spoiled the momentum we had a few weeks ago.

Like a lot of people are saying, if reddit comes up in a search result, I'm clicking it. You know that's your best shot at finding the answer you're looking for.

But opening the app? Scrolling and socializing? I checked my comment history just now, and since joining Lemmy on July 1st, I have commented 5 reddit comments; 1 of them was a reply to someone replying to me. 4 of them were specifically about ActivityPub social networks.

In that same thirteen days, I left 33 comments on Lemmy.

No app, no user.

My reddit usage is 99% on Boost for reddit and 1% on web. Since Boost doesn't work right anymore. I don't use it 99% anymore.

Nope. No interest.

No

Only in google search results.

If I do a Google search and a Reddit thread comes up with relevant info or discussion, I’ll check it out but I have completely stopped browsing and interacting with it.

Yes, because Lemmy is still at that early phase of its existence where half of the posts complain about reddit, Threads, Twitter, etc, and that's just not something I'm interested in. Waiting for it all to die down a little.

I want to stop using Reddit, but every Google search I make that's tech-related has an answer on either StackOverflow or Reddit. Even if most people move to Lemmy, Reddit would probably come up once in a while when I'm looking for answers to a problem only a few people would care about.

Reddit is dead to me. Only time I go there is if a Google search leads me there, which is not that often.

Not really since RIF is RIP. I do miss some extra content from niche communities, but I'm hoping Lemmy will grow enough to fill those gaps. Reddit was also a big news source, but I'll be hitting other news outlets until Lemmy gets there too.

Here's hoping Lemmy will be able to scratch my various music and art itches enough. No interest in going back to reddit these days though. The site I knew and loved over the last decade+ is no more. It's sucked seeing it devolve over the years. Feels a lot like when everyone's mom got facebook.

Have I visted reddit, yes. Do I use it? No. I have grown to love lemmy. Disconnecting from a hyper charged, conterversy seeking website has done me good!

No. They killed bacon reader so I no longer post.

If Reddit is in the search results I'll click, but that's it.

Nope. I uninstalled boost and no come back.

Yeah, I do. There's just more content there. More articles. More questions. More discussion. Not all of it is good, but a lot of what I use reddit for is taking the temperature on things... games, movies, books, general opinions on news articles, etc. I like Lemmy, but it doesn't have the userbase to make this my only "front page of the internet" for now.

I only do when something spicy happens like all mods get demodded and see if they post a sticky to a new community like dndmemes did

Shout-out !rpgmemes@ttrpg.network

When I need to find a specific answer on a topic and a Google search brings me to a Reddit thread, yes. Otherwise, Lemmy and Discord have replaced my Reddit addiction

Haven't logged in to Reddit since one day after I created this lemmy account on June 13th.

I've just switch to lemmy after JoeyForReddit stopped working this afternoon. Lemmy doesn't have the same amount of content as Reddit but there is potential.

Sometimes I'm googling a tech issue and the only useful results are Reddit. I don't abstain on such an occasion, I need my answers and I've never seen a Lemmy post show up in the results.

The other main situation is here on lemmy I'll click a link based on the title without paying much attention only to discover it's taken to content on reddit which is a weird phenomena that I kinda hope fades with time.

No. Once my app stopped working, I quit cold turkey. I deleted all content from my reddit account and switched to Lemmy.

Permanently Deleted

Yes, but I’ve deleted all of my posts & comments.

I needed a tech question answered, and a Reddit post had the exact question I was asking, I clicked on it and the answer had been deleted.

The irony made me laugh.

I quit Reddit as soon as it came out how much they wanted to charge Christian for running Apollo. Joined up on /kbin and have been incredibly happy with it.

I’m using it when looking for specific information about specific topics (tutorials, product reviews) but I haven’t looked at the front page since the announcement

I signed up to Reddit in 2014 and loved the platform to the point it was my goto when researching new purchases by looking for real world users of products, and would visit the platform multiple times each day. But sadly with all the stunts that have been pulled I have moved over to Lemmy like many others and in have to say i don't miss reddit at all.

Although Lemmy is now my goto I guess I'll still make occasional visits to Reddit.

This has a very "still obsessed with my ex" vibe, just saying.

Nope, not at all.

If a search directs me there or if there is some news that I really need to check. I have abandoned the account.

Yes, but a lot less. I unsubscribed from everything except some niche communities that are inactive/nonexistent on Lemmy, plus a few related to the Fediverse.

But the loss of Rif means I'm using it a lot less anyway.

Permanently Deleted

So, peronally 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 fireseable future. See, there's this chatgroup we maintain with my not ultra tech savvy parents and a handful of goofy dog/cat/bird videos a day brigthens their work days. 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 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 if content in the fediverse any time soon, if ever. So yeah, i still go there.

Nope, I stopped browsing Reddit the moment they killed RIF. Now I only get on it if it has the answer to something I googled.

When the Bacon(reader) was done, I was done.

RIF was my app for Reddit so once that went down I've cut it like 99%. Similarly I'm there now for questions that I can only seem to find there unfortunately but not logged in since.

My usage just plummeted off a cliff after creating a Lemmy account. Infinity for Reddit is still working at the moment but I don't even have the app on my home screen anymore so I rarely open it.

Within the last month or so, I've stumbled upon reddit links a total of ~3 times. It's still damn useful for looking up info and the best links on Google are often reddit. Ublock origin was enabled of course.

I used reddit until Sync stopped working, and I haven't been on since, except to delete a bunch of old posts.

My pc is logged in with my reddit account. Few Google results take me to reddit, I use only that time. I don't visit reddit to see what's happening there.

For the moment it is still a massive repository of useful esoteric knowledge. I've stopped using it for anything active / current, but so long as it exists and is searchable I don't see that I'll be able to move away from accessing it entirely.

Twitter, however, is dead to me.

I lost power last night and had nothing to do... lemmy, sadly, doesn't have as much content yet so I popped in once just to see. Spent like 10 min there with no account since I did delete it and realized it also wasn't showing me much either.

Having an account with everything you like really helps the experience, glad I looked and felt better when it also didn't really give me the fix I wanted. Power is back and I don't forsee myself going back anytime soon, outside very specific google searches where I might find relevant information needed to do my job.

fuck no

since baconreader no longer works i stopped using reddit. only time i visited was because of a duckduckgo search result

I only visit it from a search engine when searching for something. It's still a vast repository of useful content.

When subs started blacking out and the only posts I were seeing on my feed were from r/hamsters, I cut the chord without looking back. My friends have all tried to find workarounds to be able to use reddit without official means like using apps that get the pass for accessibility and I'm just thinking "imagine going out of your way just to access reddit" 😂

The only subreddits I cared about were very few at that point with how shitty reddit had gotten as a whole, so it wasn't hard.

No, and honestly don’t really miss it. Lemmy is fine for what I need it for. Sometimes if I search for an answer I’ll get a result that happens to be on Reddit so if that counts then so be it.

Only to view NSFW images when I really don't have any other option. I don't have an account anymore though so usually it's not worth the trouble. Lemmy really just doesn't have the diversity reddit did with that yet.

I don't visit the homepage or use my mobile client. But it still pops up in searches and often has answers I need, for now.

Intentionally, only when a search directs me to a Reddit thread. Unfortunately, it's still a great resource in that regard.

Unintentionally, habit has me typing reddit.com before I realize what I'm doing. Otherwise, I try to stay here.

Only when I'm googling something that points to reddit. But even then not really as I'm using an extension that redirects all reddit links to their webarchive version.

I don’t. I’ll find myself there occasionally because friends still do. I silently judge them as enablers of corporate scummery. I had been talking up Lemmy.world to the point of being insufferable and have stfu since it was hacked.

I honestly still do, though not on my phone.

And more often than not if I’m on my PC I’m working/gaming.

So really, I still go to reddit on my PC, but most of my usage used to be on the phone, now here I am on lemmy, on my phone, taking a shit.

In essence Lemmy has replaced Reddit for me where it really matters.

Only on desktop here and there since RES still works. Enjoying Lemmy when on mobile though.

Only when I’m searching things on google. Unfortunately Reddit is still a gold mine of technical knowledge that’s not replicated anywhere.

I used RIF for close 10 years. Comparatively speaking, just trying to browse Reddit via app or in it's browser is straight up r/eyebleach

For me, it's still convinient for asking specific questions. The niche communities were filled with people knowing their stuff so the archives are filled with very reflected opinions and knowledge. For example, if I'm about to, say, buy a cooking knife, I'd google "best cooking knife reddit" and there I have it. Without that I'd be stuck with "top 10 cooking knifes articles" which may be influenced by knife companies wanting to promote their product. Of course I could ask that question here too, but I'd have to wait for an answer and those I would get would only be a fragment of what I'm still be able to find in reddits archives. But for everything else I'm very happy here

No, I've completely replaced Reddit with Lemmy.

only for specific thinks, whrn i was searching for something

Nope, closed account after 5 years and moved to Lemmy

Completely out and I had RIF for at least eleven years. They got rid of a part of me; I don't want shit to do with the site anymore. I'd also be out of Facebook if it weren't for messenger. I look to Lemmy for updates on the dumpster fire that is Reddit now.

Reddit is so frustrating to use without Boost so not really.

Yes I do still use reddit, although only to check specific Subreddits. When it comes to mindlessly scrolling through content, however, the Fediverse has replaced Reddit 100% of the time.

I do. My usage has gone down in half, as blue I have Lemmy and the vibes here are nice and I like the concept but it still doesn't come close to Reddit in terms of content and niche subreddits.

Until I find most of the equivalent Reddit subs on Lemmy, with their emigrated leading lights, you kind of have to. Like you said, only Reddit has the answers. Startpage: "42? site:reddit.com"

I'm too old to enjoy drama.

99% Reddit free. If I need an answer or opinion about something niche, I will be there as shortly as possible and already have adblock

Permanently Deleted

I usually check r/ModCoord and try to post some mandatory fuck u/spez.

For casual browsing I use lemmy

Nope

I do not. I thought I would... I even told people such even as I supported the good fight. But, no... I haven't been back.

I guess I'm actually pissed off enough to not give incompetent, shithole billionaires and millionaires that extra win.

I still use it for Google searches. For the subreddits that aren't private anymore, it's still a good resource to get reviews from actual human beings. But I made use of Power Delete Suite to both edit and delete all my comments, and I deleted my accounts back in June.

Nope. Account und its contents deleted and never looked back.

Only for porn, really.

I was following it for the drama involving the blackouts. I logged in today and started browsing around, and can't help but wonder if it's recently become even more polarized and radicalized with regards to absurd, hateful opinions, or if my bias' against it are making it look that way.

Either way, the experience made me feel gross, and it occurred to me that I just don't want to be there anymore.

Yes with modified Apollo and Boost. But, nowadays, many of my Reddit subs seems get a lot of double post, scam ads. if this problem overwhelms my home feed. I will ditch Reddit

Almost every subreddits to specific games that I play (Celeste, Hollow Knight, etc), either has no federative alternatives or is still far more active on Reddit. Like 95% of contents I watch does not exist anywhere else.

Nah. This is my shitpost home now.

Yes, and I've noticed something very odd. There seems to be some sort of false engagement and fake upvotes going on for average users.

Normally I post a smart-ass comment, and either get ignored, or down-voted a couple times...

Ever since the API restrictions, it's like no matter what I post, it gets a few upvotes very quickly. Some of these have mini explosions and gain a bit of traction.

I'm also seeing A LOT more activity on some of my other niche subs.

It just seems so fake and contrary to my prior 11 years of experience, makes no sense unless it is being bot driven.

Not once.

only if it has an answer to a problem I need an answer to, but I then turn around and leave the second I'm done.

I only visit reddit if I google something and a reddit thread about the problem pops up in the results. Otherwise, I'm completely off reddit.

I check in on my university subreddit from time to time but that's about it

Only if it is a google result. I still have sync app installed :(

Very rarely. If it's a terminally online day and I run out of content I might go on reddit.

I still use Reddit, but have used it significantly less. I am experimenting with alternatives like Lemmy.

Not since Boost stopped working

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

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

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

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.

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.

I'm mostly just using it for subreddits that don't have an equivalent Lemmy community yet.

Nope! While lemmy is still missing a lot of things, such as large amounts of text posts and comments, and smaller communities, I've found other ways to fill the gaps. I browsed nosleep a lot and have found some nice series', but that won't make me go back. Also Tumblr exists to fill the smaller community gaps

Not since the blackout, no.

I still do, but only read a few nosleep stories on my mobile browser before bed. If I had another option for spooky stories from indie authors I would quit completely.

Only for one community and only occasionally (like once every 3 days or so, I check the news, learn new stuff and move on). Oh, and today I was there to request all my data.

what is this “reddit” thou speak of?

Only when a general search brings me to it. I no longer scroll it or actively choose to visit.

Now and again I jump on for niche information for my hobbies. But only on desktop, and only on old.reddit.com

Only for the naughty stuff. I've unsubbed from everything on my main account and haven't logged in for ages, but not gone as far as deleting my messages (can't be arsed, tbh). Lemmy's Naughty Stuff For Wankers isn't quite where Reddit's is yet but it's getting up there.

Nah deleted my acct like a month ago

My daily reddit use has dropped by an order of magnitude. Now I just subscribe to a few subreddit RSS feeds that I skim through once a day, and that's pretty much it. If I really feel compelled to post something, I'll begrudgingly grab my laptop and head to old.reddit ... we'll see how long that lasts.

I deleted all my posts and comments, most of my accounts and the official app. I’ve been maybe twice in the past few weeks because of search results. Before it was numerous times a day. Most of the subs I followed moved elsewhere and the Reddit stuff I get second hand via BORU’s discord

No I dont't actually.

All the time. Still getting my feet wet with lemmy

Removed reddit bookmarks and apps and went all in on Lemmy, haven't touched Reddit.

I just got here

I've stopped using reddit, unless I need to search for historic content related to some tech gadget or something. And then only on desktop/laptop.

I've subbed to audible and kindle unlimited and been happier since.

Negative - occasionally I'll find something on Google but I search for other options before resorting to Reddit haha.

Nope, in fact after trying the super delete Suite (failed) I'm creating my own userscript to delete all my old comments. Once it's finished later today I'll post about it on Lemmy for others to use.

15yr old account dead and banned. The only time I check out Reddit is to look at the Western Europeans taking the piss out of each other on 2westerneuropean4u.

I purged every post I had made over the years before walking away. Haven't looked back. Fuck'em.

Never really used it that much and I've been much more active in Lemmy than ever in Reddit.

However, if I have problem that need a quick answer, I usually search Reddit. This in not because it is somehow amazing, but because Google searches suck nowadays. Typing Reddit into the search query usually brings out the answer I need instantly.

The moment sync died, my engagement with it died.

It's sad, it was great.

But... It is the way he wants it... Well.. He gets it. I don't like it anymore then you do.

You know the song ;) https://youtu.be/5e3sI5xkA0M

I don't. I thought I would miss it a lot, but after replacing rif with lemmy and a few other apps I haven't really been thinking about reddit recently.

Permanently Deleted

I'm the same way now, I used to use reddit daily.

Now, I only use it when I have question, I still google "my question" reddit.

Mainly using Lemmy. Was recently trying to migrate all of the Subreddits to Lemmy. Still have ReVanced Sync for Reddit installed, and Relay. Reddit has many more communities that I'm afraid Lemmy won't get to see, perhaps because the audience just uses the default Reddit app, but I'm hopeful. Even for Subreddits that moved to Lemmy, I feel like I get to see more content that I'm interested in, in the same period of time, even if I change the sorting. I usually see different content if I reopen any Reddit app, but Lemmy often shows me mostly the same posts for a day or so.

I completely stopped using it.

I still use it. The HFY community is still on Reddit and I enjoy reading the stories.

The API changes haven't really affected my experience since I always browsed Reddit on my desktop through the browser.

Not one little bit. I used to be a big fan of reddit, spent 12 years there but as soon as Sync stopped working I deleted my account and never went back.

Absolutely not. I have not logged in once since the day the protest started.

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

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

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

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)

Nein. I'm done. Ish. If I search for something and the answer happens to be in a reddit post, blahblah.

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.

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.

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.

I haven't for around ten days or so, the last time I went there was to post about lemmy in one of my favorite subs, in order to attract more of them to the same community here on lemmy, but the post was deleted, so im never going back now.

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)

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

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.

Nope deleted my account 2 days ago

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.

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.
