Asklemmy

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.

I made a private LibReddit instance so I can still get the news from specific communities that aren't elsewhere.

Only if a Google link takes me there. The unfortunate truth is Reddit is really the only information repo for a ton of niche interests.

Only through Google search results if I'm looking for a solution to something. I spent the vast majority of my time using Apollo, and without it I don't have much interest using it on mobile they way they want me too. I've probably avoided it on PC a little more due to getting involved in Lemmy and Squabbles.

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 still look, but mostly to: a) Keep up with the Oakland Athletics fan protest efforts as the A's sub is where that really got coordinated with the larger community b) Try to figure out if some of the oddball subs I am on there and enjoyed have equivalents here, on the Matrix, Telegraph, etc.

I feel like I will kill my account there once those things are resolved enough to make Reddit fully pointless for me.

Not since Boost stopped working for personal use. I have looked at a couple of technical questions that I couldn't find an answer too on other sources.

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

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.

Yes. But instead of spending ever free minute on it I'll only check it once or maybe twice a day.

Boost was the only thing that made it tolerable, I couldn't use the official reddit app even if I wanted to

No, I do not. Except when I'm looking for something and reddit is the only place where I can find my answers. But that rarely happens.

Nope deleted my account 2 days ago

theres a couple communities stuck on there I still check on, but no longer casually browse.

Yes as there are certain subs that aren't on lemmy. But I have been visiting it a lot less since lemmy.

The official app has bad performance and that's why I only browse on my pc. Usually that's once a week.

Went back for like a day after my main amount on v.lemmy went down with the server.

After a day I couldn’t stomach it anymore. Reddit All is just a bunch of warzone footage or clickbait news.

I created a new main on a new Lemmy server and am loving being here.

I've only touched Reddit when it comes up when I google something. Haven't used it for anything else for the past month or so.

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.

Yes, mostly for sharing content here.

No.

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!

only for 1 subreddit, 1001albumsgenerator. i have unfinished business there

In the rare case I need a result that I can't find anywhere else. Otherwise, nah. The way Spez treated the Apollo dev disgusted me enough that I want nothing to do with that site anymore.

Occasionally. From my desktop. Not really from my phone anymore. I like lemmy well enough but there still isn't as much content especially for niche subjects.

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.

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.

No. Haven't touched it since they killed 3rd-party apps and don't intend to (exception are Google search results, though I use Teddit as a frontend there.

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.

No app, no user.

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.

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.

Scrolled for maybe 3 minutes total in the past month... Was a heavy commenter before that.

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.

Nope deleted it completely

I just got here

only for r/piracy megathread

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I used to check reddit everyday, some days I'd spend hours browsing. I think I've checked it twice since Apollo went down?

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