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.
Nah
I do, but I'm trying to quit
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.
Iβm currently in the process of replacing Reddit with Lemmy. Iβm 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.
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.
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 βredditβ thou speak of?
Oh it's just some old myth people have been spreading. Probably doesn't exist.
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 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.
Sometimes for fixes and stuff but not much anyomore
Only if a google search takes me there. I have no way or desire to view reddit otherwise.
since baconreader no longer works i stopped using reddit. only time i visited was because of a duckduckgo search result
I haven't posted in years, but there is still so much content there. Now though without my favourite app (Joey) I probably will go there less. Even less when they disable old.reddit.com.
Yeah I check hydroponics subs occasionally.
I had a web result that the result I was looking for was on Reddit. I guess that's technically using it, but I wasn't logged in and didn't touch anything. It still counts as a visitor though, and I'm disappointed in that.
no
Only when searching about a particular topic or problem, whether I'm looking something up in a game or just troubleshooting.
Otherwise nothing, no account nor any browsing.
Now and again I jump on for niche information for my hobbies. But only on desktop, and only on old.reddit.com
fuck no
No, and I never will again. I was a 15 year veteran. I deleted my account on June 29, 2023. Fuck Huffman. He can rot in whatever hell he may believe in. Long live the Fediverse!
Nope
Only if it is a google result. I still have sync app installed :(
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" π
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.
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
No, and I blocked it on my DNS server so I don't accidentally go there either
Yeah, but with RedReader. There's a few niche subs I like that aren't well-established here yet.
I deleted all my posts and comments, most of my accounts and the official app. Iβve 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 BORUβs discord
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.
I made a private LibReddit instance so I can still get the news from specific communities that aren't elsewhere.
I sometimes go to /r/Apple, because I'm a nerd for that shit.
But I went on there tonight, and most of the comments in one thread were really snipey and bitter - more than usual for that sub. And It made me wonder whether the people who left were the empathetic ones, leaving the bitter, cynical people behind. Much like the move from Twitter to Mastodon.
I'll probably still mooch on there on the odd occasion, but I'm not a regular user any more. Nowhere near it.
Nope.
I occasionally check https://reddit.com/r/artifexian which is the official community for a youtube channel and podcast that I like.
Other than that, I'm out.
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.
theres a couple communities stuck on there I still check on, but no longer casually browse.
Maybe 2 or 3 times a week. There's some support communities on there that I'm a part of and check in with on there.
But learning about Reddit's behaviour the last month or so has been something of an eye opener and for now I'm enjoying exploring here (and actually reading ebooks again) as an alternative
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.
Nope, nothing proprietary on my watch.
I donβt have Apollo anymore so I donβt go to Reddit anymore from mobile, but i use it from time to time on desktop
I only check my profile occasionally to see if I need to run the super deleter on it again.
Boost was the only thing that made it tolerable, I couldn't use the official reddit app even if I wanted to
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.
Yes. But instead of spending ever free minute on it I'll only check it once or maybe twice a day.
Nah, sometimes google tries to make me enter but I just scroll a lil more and use any other result.
Nope deleted my account 2 days ago
