Asklemmy

Roughly a month on Lemmy now and the habitually visit of Reddit completely faded out. Lemmy replaced Reddit without any compromises for me.

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.

Only in google search results.

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

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.

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

only for specific thinks, whrn i was searching for something

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.

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

Only for porn, really.

There's a couple of subreddits that haven't made it to the Fediverse yet, and some that still benefit from the years of personal experience that doesn't exist here, so after I overwrote and deleted my account I created a reader account. I know it's hypocritical, but at least they're (hopefully) not profiting off my contributions. Or they probably are, I've heard they've been quietly restoring overwritten and deleted posts.

Nope

Nope. No interest.

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

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.

No more reddit at all. I even blocked reddit on my search engine. Everyday lemmy as a service, the apps we use, and the content we see here are improving. It just takes time.

Fediverse is truly the last bastion we have against shit like twitter and reddit. Why do you think Threads will try to federate with us? its because they see the potential aswell. However we'll see how that shakes up with almost everyone agreeing not to federate with them.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Fuck no

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.

No I dont't actually.

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.

Since deleting my account the only times I've been on it were when a search for a solution led me to it. So like 5 times.

I only troll and break the terms of service on Reddit now

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 drop by Reddit 1-2 times per day but only at home on my PC and using old.reddt. There are still a couple of communities on there that haven't moved to lemme yet.

And my porn account.

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.

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.

No. I've checked my inbox and profile page several times, but that's it. Reddit is dead to me.

I use it for finding information on Google, but other than that nah

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.

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

No.

Purged all my posts and comments, deleted my 12-year-old account (65k+ karma) and uninstalled Boost. Now I only go there occasionally from search results.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

Only if a search sends me there and other links aren't giving me what I need

I deleted my profile, but of course I still land there sometimes from Google results

Aside from the occasional support questions and browsing of some subreddits that most likely may not make it over* (unless that’s changed, in which case I can reduce what little time I spend on reddit even further), I spend the majority of time on beehaw & the other connected sites to browse stuff.

*this isn’t to say that those communities aren’t willing to come over. My understanding is that certain NSFW content isn’t permitted here and as those communities fit the description, who knows if they’ll ever become a part of these communities? Hopefully I’m wrong and such places exist.

I haven't seen reddit since sync stopped working.
