Reddit

There are dozens of us. DOZENS!

I haven't been back to Reddit since the first day of protests.

Not gonna lie though, I miss it. The niche stuff I went to Reddit for in the first place came here during the drama, but despite an initial push to get some replacement communities going here, they've gone almost completely inactive now.

According to Google trends, the people who left are an insignificantly small number, Reddit has still grown in search popularity over the last year. However, if you've browsed Reddit since the shutdown, you know that this isn't the whole story, engagement and quality are both down.

Dropped Reddit and never went back.

Edit: Gotta take the flow and promote !bassment@feddit.de while this post is hot. A community for Bass-Guitar players I've been building since the Reddit blackout. Come join us!

Sure it is possible to estimate, but the chance the estimate is any better than a guess is pretty much zero.

The only definite number I have is one.

I did. To all the people on Reddit who confidently said "you'll be back in a few days" turns out you were very wrong lmao

I stopped using Reddit on my phone, which was most of my Reddit time, but I still use it on my PC.

On mobile I exclusively browse Lemmy.

I would totally migrate completely to Lemmy, but the general audience here is a bit too... radicalised for me. Sometimes I just want to relax, read some interesting link and interact in the comments.

After reading @StarkillerX42@lemmy.ml's comment, I'm not sure if there is a way to estimate.

I do think we can reliably say: Not enough. However, it's pretty cozy here so I don't mind for now.

Said bye bye ever since the blackout, haven't been back. RIP RIF

I did. Fuck reddit.

I'm smart enough to know you're looking for a calculated estimate, yet dumb enough to add "I did it" for you to add to your count. Happy counting!

Me! I'll still end up on Reddit occasionally from Google searches for stuff but I very much appreciate having a place to mindlessly scroll and read which isn't capitalistic

I just switched from Sync to Sync. The transition was bumpy but I'm still on Sync.

I was a heavy reddit user. Don't go there anymore. I'm done. There's just a moral line that was crossed, and that's that. Same with facebook. It's over. Now it's the constant fight to keep google at bay, but that's what it is.

Hardly use reddit anymore. Won't lie, Lemmy doesn't seem to be anywhere near as rich in content but its a blessing in disguise because I mindlessly scroll less.

I was mostly a lurker so my dropping it didn't have much impact other than deleting a decade old account. If there's niche knowledge or communities I might still look (if it comes up in search results) but the urge to do so voluntarily is gone.

I quit with the death of RiF.

I dropped Reddit but my Lemmy usage certainly isn't what my Reddit usage was. I wish more of the websites I frequented had their own forums like the old days.

I actually use both. Reddit to watch or partake in nonsensical angry at the internet posts and Lemmy for real discussion in a niche that I fancy.
Lemmy feels like Reddit did 10 years ago.

I've almost completely stoped using Reddit, I only see it if I find it in a web search and it has an answer I'm looking for, this community is amazing, btw.

You might find your responses here a bit biased.

I did! But as for estimates of people, you could probably compare total daily users in like, March to total daily users today, and that eould get you most of the way there

I still have my account on Reddit, but have not logged in since the API events.
Very happy to have found Lemmy, with great content and great people.

Same about going from Twitter to Mastodon.

I haven't been back. I suspect that may be true for many regular users of Lemmy.

I did so by Nielson ratings logic about 2400 of us?

No Appolo, no reddit for me. I will still go to searches that link there.

I made the switch after the API.changes. i wasn't about to endure a bullshit interface. Also. It's been 10~ years of using reddit, as an adult looking to grow, it was time to find new and strange pastures. Lemmy may not be where we all end up, but its a journey and so far being an 'Internet forum surfer' from AOL 4.0 days. things have been a wild ride

I had forgotten about reddit until I saw this post.

Not using it at all.

I dropped and deleted the account. Only time I go to Reddit now is if I am searching for something and a Reddit link is part of the search and happen to have the answer I need.

I was using Reddit Is Fun on mobile and a heavily curated desktop feed and migrated here fully when RiF died.

When I've looked at Reddit on desktop, it feels like a shadow of it's former self in so far as some of the default subs are missing and others just seem filled with the same content reach time I've looked.

While the place won't die overnight, it will become more overrun with bots and karma farmers posting same content over and over.

I check Lemmy everyday before going to bed, only time I use reddit is when it comes up in web search results for my queries. I’ll use reddit again if they announce fair pricing for 3rd party apps as I miss my small communities there.

I made the switch when RiF died. In all honesty I wish it wasn't necessary, because the niche communities here are a shadow of what Reddit had before the blackouts. And while Reddit had trolls just like Lemmy, it was big enough that you didn't have to share general spaces with them.

I spent 99% of my time on Reddit through Sync. When they decided to restrict API use, which killed third-party apps, I decided I was done. If the Sync dev didn't switch over to making a Lemmy app, I probably never would have heard about it. I've only gone to Reddit a handful of times since, and that's only because I was searching for something and a Google search took me to a Reddit thread.

At least 6

Me. Probably wouldn't have stayed this long if it wasn't for the Sync app. There's just no other good Reddit-like app.

I use both. Lemmy by deafult. Reddit for the few very specific communites Lemmy is lacking . Also questions go to Lemmy since beacuse lemmy is smaller pepole are actually answering you instead of ignoring your questions or mods deleting them beacuse this belongs to the daily thread for small questions or the similars.

Look at the user figures for Lemmy instances and it becomes very clear that the number of people using Lemmy isn't even in the hundreds if thousands. So yes I'd say it is possible to estimate that less than 100k people made the switch.

I never use reddit unless someone sends me a link for something specific (that someone could be google) - I don't have their app installed and I never go to them naturally...I probably see 1 reddit post a week on average.

I fucking did. Long live 196

I did. RIF stopped working
