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?

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

    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.

    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

    managed to shift my idle browsing here. though i was kind of weening off reddit slowly over the past years. with lemmy exploding it has brought back some of that feeling of exploring and looking for communities i was missing on reddit haha

    sadly nebula.tv sends you to reddit for comments on their exclusives, that is one holdover that is also unlikely to go away…

    Roughly a month on Lemmy now and the habitually visit of Reddit completely faded out. Lemmy replaced Reddit without any compromises for me. I’m also trying to establish a Bass-guitar related Community here, so there’s a bigger investment for me to get things going here.

        The problem is if there are only 10 people 7 of them only lurking, on Reddit, this is what happeneds if you do that on Lemmy:

        Every beginning is hard.

    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, that was the final drop for me too. Going to delete my account and 8 year history next time I’m at the PC.

    I usually check the subreddit redditmobile to see if they actually fixed the app.

    Edit: But yea, honestly I probably won‘t go back to Reddit. Lemmy seems to be a great alternative.

    I open the app out of muscle memory a few times a day, infinity still works somehow, but most of my subs have been closed/dead now anyway so not really.

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