No, I uninstalled Boost and Infinity about a month ago and haven't looked back.

If I have to Google something, and the answer is on Reddit, then yes.
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.
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 don’t browse Reddit routinely anymore like i would before. But I’d still visit it once in a while to read about discussion on niche subjects.
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
no
I visit some subs occasionally on old reddit, but have never logged in again. Fuck u/spez.
Yes, just a lot less because theres no app for it, so I only check it from a desktop PC instead of constantly the way I have in the past.
Maybe it's just me but the volume of interesting posts has fallen off a cliff after July 1st. The front page has much less activity and noticably more of it is reposts (which were there before, just a much higher ratio now).
The niche subreddits were always the key draw though, those still only exist on Reddit and nowhere else on the internet.
Not really. The only time I ever go to reddit is if I want info about a really niche subject and the post is usually several years old anyway.
I logged in once to look up something I had saved, but the mobile site is so irritating to use I gave up.
nope
Yes and No.
Smaller communities with no equivalent, I'm there and still active. Technology, memes and world news, I'm here. But I'm also on other sites more again.
I’ve been there a couple of times from random search results. Haven’t browsed it since July 30th and honestly, I’m kinda surprised how little I care that I left.
I’ve noticed I haven’t really been enjoying my time on Reddit anymore. Since the shutdown of Apollo, I’ve found simple tasks like search and going to my favorite subreddits a chore.
Discussions inside of the posts also have deteriorated and I feel like I’m seeing way more AI generated content on askreddit and aita etc. Bots have also run rampant on subreddits like interestingasfuck.
Lemmy is reminding me of Reddit from 2010 . Lots of memes, smaller communities with great discussions. Also love it being connected to Mastodon.
What I’ve realized is I’ve just ended up spending more time outside of any of these apps, which might have ended up being a blessing.
I do, from desktop, mainly as force of habit.
my chosen mobile app, Relay, actually still works, but I am trying to train myself to use Lemmy more.
I just wish the content changed over faster, and there were more comments.
I told myself I would leave gradually but in reality I'm never over there anymore. Its just so annoying and slow to not be able to use RIF.
Meanwhile the fediverse is so new and interesting and way more friendly.
Nah, I created a Lemmy account at the start of June (at least the Jerboa installation date says that) and uninstalled boost a few days later. Only checked in on Reddit from time to time with libreddit, to have a look at the John Oliver party.
I deleted or mass-edited all my comments and sent an GDPR request. Only thing left after that is the account deletion.
Didn't want to give them any traffic anymore, so I avoided everything about it.
Once or twice a week I check my local subreddit and a couple of best of subs.
Hell no! FU Spez
I don't really go to reddit since the apps got killed and I refuse to use the pile of garbage the official app is. Aside from a few niche subs there really isn't much to see there anymore, especially in summer. It's all edgy kids and bots now for the most part.Whatever sense of community there once was is long gone.
I have an RSS subscription to r/ebookdeals and an account that was previously to keep nsfw browsing separate from main browsing and access that now is subscribed to r/modcoord and r/3rdpartyapps to watch the drama that I occasionally check in on once a week or so, but otherwise Lemmy is my regular browsing home.
Still active on some niche communities that they don't want to leave Reddit and only using it on desktop.
I still check some subs, like recent infos on the war in ukraine. And some others that have not catches up in terms of activity…
But it’s getting less and less. I also open Apollo less frequently, realising that it doesn’t work anymore
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.
I lurk with an ad blocker. I do still have an account and am logged in so I can vote and save some posts.
Nope.
Eh, I still use it a little bit. I follow Blue Jays games via the team's subreddit, and the Pathfinder community hasn't really migrated over, so scan that every couple of days. And the memes have just clobbered my feed these last couple of days, even after blocking most of the meme groups.
But I'm using Reddit very differently now.
I am surprised how little I miss Reddit after June. I realised I was really dependent on RIF. I downloaded an RSS app instead (Inoreader) and followed some subs that I used to frequent. I check it once every few days as opposed to many times a day before the collapse.
I will occasionally browse because Relay still works, but I stopped contributing content.
I nuked all the content of my Reddit account, then forced it to be banned from Reddit. After that, blacklisted the domain from my computer so that it just returns a (ERR_NX_DOMAIN) and migrated to KBin instead
Been happy since
Nope. Without RIF it's painful to look at.
Nah, deleted that shit as soon as they announced the API.
I saw the writing on the wall.
I literally only use it to check if there's a new Chainsaw Man chapter out so I open r/ChainsawMan once every two weeks, that's about it
lemmy has completely replaced reddit for me ngl, it's pretty much the same experience, for me at least, and I actually like it here more, people are more engaging and I got 100+ upvotes on a post for the FIRST TIME!
honestly I don't see myself going back, I will miss finding a niche sub and having enough content there for me to scroll for hours but hey, we'll get there too eventually!
Nope, I haven't been there even once since switching over to Lemmy
Only when googling stuff I sometime add site:reddit.com
, but I am no longer browsing reddit on my phone. With the death of RIF and APIs I just can't stomach looking at the page.
And good bless old.reddit redirector plugin.
Two subreddits that I check on occasion for information/memes, both of which I'm hoping will eventually gain traction here. I don't have an account though.
