I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I got my uBlock Origin ready to kill all the ads. That shitty website will not get a cent out of me.
What about you? Do you still use reddit?
You must log in or # to comment.
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.
Yeah, unfortunately. I’m trying to switch over fully but there’s still some subreddits that I can’t replicate on Lemmy. I’ll be off once I get alternatives to all the snake, big cat, and bird subs that I use to look at cool animals, though. iNaturalist just isn’t as browsable.
Yeah I check hydroponics subs occasionally.
Only if a search sends me there and other links aren’t giving me what I need
I stopped by once to double check my stuff was still deleted.
Literally just the HFY subreddit and looking for answers to questions about 3d printing etc.
I do, but not nearly as much. My reddit time when from a couple hours a day, to maybe 15 minutes here and there when I’m at a PC only. Even then, it’s not as active. Only my local sub is because the community didn’t migrate.
Only when I’m searching things on google. Unfortunately Reddit is still a gold mine of technical knowledge that’s not replicated anywhere.
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.
Not since the blackout, no.
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
I only go to reddit now if I look something up and get a link to it. I don’t go there to browse anymore.
Nope, I actually deleted my Reddit account. I already had low support for Reddit because of the response they gave after the last time there was a Reddit blackout. I had been using Lemmy on and off on my old account on the main instance, so when the recent blackout happened, I gave Reddit one last chance but the way they handled the situation was the last straw for me. I came back to my account on Lemmy and used it until the main Lemmy instance started having server problems due to the influx of users.
I’m not using reddit as a daily driver, but I visit it when I’m looking for answers.
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
