I just did some searching for the best grind size settings for my Aeropress. Some of the search results led to Reddit, I clicked on them and felt a bit dirty lol. Funnily enough a few of results still led to private groups. Reddit will still be a source of information about niche topics. Let's hope Lemmy becomes that source instead...
I still look at a few specific subreddits when they pop-up in a search result.
I don't browse it (I have a redirector rule that links me right out of Reddit), but if I need to access it for something, I just tack on old.
as a bypass.
I don't scroll through reddit anymore but will use it if a friend shares a link or when looking for something. It was hard the first few days as I found myself opening Sync only to be greeted by the goodbye message. Safe to say I was quite addicted to doom scrolling but happy to have stopped.
Been using Jerboa for 2 weeks now and have not doom scrolled yet, feels good
I visit some subs occasionally on old reddit, but have never logged in again. Fuck u/spez.
Nah. Iβm more casual, and didnβt even need it for specific information. I havenβt been back in weeks. Plus, I really like the more civil environment Iβve found on the instances Iβve joined. Additionally, the users are actually listened to, and the mods/devs are genuinely trying to create a better experience. Itβs something I want to be a part of, rather than the dumpster fire of greed, anger, and manipulation that is reddit.
Just to check some niche subreddits. Browser only, no sign in. And once I find what I need on the lemmyverse I'm all done.
Only when a link brings me there or though a ddg search. No more browsing.
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.
No, I uninstalled Boost and Infinity about a month ago and haven't looked back.
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, not at all. Uninstalled weeks ago. Actively avoid in search results. Had been subconsciously looking to move on for a long time. See ya later, better things to do and places to be.
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.
No, and I blocked it on my DNS server so I don't accidentally go there either
Sometimes for fixes and stuff but not much anyomore
I only use it when googling questions that I know reddit has the answer for. And I hate it the whole time. I spend only enough time on there to get my answer then immediately close the web page. Call me silly or what you will, but I personally want to give as little interaction with that website as possible now. Fuck u/spez
As for the drama, I subscribe to a couple Lemmy instances that share the drama through Lemmy, that way I can be in the loop without having to be on the actual website.
Logged out, sometimes I use rif to check on some subreddits.
Not going to delete my 9 year old account because if I do that they will keep all the comments.
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 only check my profile occasionally to see if I need to run the super deleter on it again.
Nope! On June 30 I used a script to erase all my prior comments and posts and deleted my accounts.
Fuck u/spez.
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.
No. I've checked my inbox and profile page several times, but that's it. Reddit is dead to me.
No.
Nope. Deleted my account and moved in at sh.itjust.works signed in on jerboa and never looked back.
Actually I left reddit long before migration.... Came to know about Lemmy only after the API controversy...
Mostly using libreddit, when I need to refer to a specific thread. Otherwise, most of my browsing is in Lemmy.
Also, feel free to have a look at the search function on the sidebar, this question has been asked quite a lot lately, such as https://lemmy.ml/post/1846338
I use it to check anime episode discussions, it will probably get worse with time but its the only place I trust to read the comments. Also I still put reddit at the end of the search bar cuz the internet right now is just so full of useless articles about everything
no
Only if a search sends me there and other links aren't giving me what I need
Nope
Yeah, briefly, but the quality has dropped and I usually just switch back to Lemmy since it feels different. Also, only until Infinity for Reddit stops working; no idea why it still works but it's a matter of time.
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
I deleted my profile, but of course I still land there sometimes from Google results
I do, but not nearly as much as Lemmy.
I used to go to reddit for everything. To scroll aimlessly, just to look at aesthetic photos, to read stories...I even had a multi reddit for text based subs, and a third party app on my watch so I could read text based reddit posts at work.
Now, I only go to reddit if i need the resources of a specific sub (earlier i had a question about an app so i went to their sub to browse and see if there was any advice) or if i'm cross posting content to lemmy to get my communities going.
when i just want to scroll and see what's new, ive been coming straight to lemmy every time.
i'm really trying to interact more too.
I have not used it since some time in early June.
I have technically logged into my account -- but only because I've opened Relay Pro. In spite of everything, it appears to still update everything, and the last app patch update message I saw said that they had implemented changes to reduce API usage (this after July 1).
But I haven't interacted with reddit beyond that, and I don't plan to. It's not about anger at reddit anymore either -- I actively like Lemmy better. It reminds me of old reddit.
No
If I have to Google something, and the answer is on Reddit, then yes.
Nope. Having finally hammered down the local vernacular ("instances"/"communities") of Lemmy, I am so at home here. I miss RiF, but Liftoff is serving me well
I'm not using reddit as a daily driver, but I visit it when I'm looking for answers.
I do when a Google search leads me to a thread, but I donβt have an account. I donβt keep browsing like I used to. Iβm also both annoyed and happy to see replies to threads deleted or replaced with goodbye phrases.
