I was there for about 15 years, shortly after launch, when there were only a handful of predefined subreddits. I would say "good times" but there was also shit like jailbait as a default sub...

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Yep, part of the 11-year club as well. I stopped browsing on mobile when Apollo died. I still browse on old.reddit in a browser, but I've found about 60%-70% of the content on here that I was looking for over there. So, not too shabby.
Redditor for almost about 12 years now. Signed up on Sun 28th Aug 06:12:41 2011. Nuking my account as soon as I can get my data take-out.
Thirteen years, roughly 800k karma.
Nuked it all when RIF went down.
10 years, 120k karma
The changes would have had no immediate affect on me, but it’s the mods that made the place useable. I just can’t see it working after alienating so many of the people wrangling content
However I also expected to be next on the chopping block. I prefer to use a web browser and the constant nag to use the app was getting irritating, and they seemed to be eating away at the old UI to push us to the fiasco that replaced it (it probably doesn’t help that I use Safari on iPad and their attempt to get fancy is less compatible)
almost 11 years and over half a million karma.
11+ years with an account and 15 or so as a lurker checking in
12 years for me. Havent gotten back on since finding out about Lemmy. Reddit fonally becoming fully enshittified lead me to the fediverse, which actually gives me HOPE. I'm very happy to be here. I'm even happy to see the right wingers here, because if they de-federate from traditional social media they'll ALSO BE BETTER OFF and hopefully stop being activley manipulated for 20 minutes.

14 year account
Welcome here!
I spent 5 years on Reddit, a made a lemmy account after the API changes
I saw the writing on the wall,
12 years on my account if I remember right. The account still exists, but I'm not logged in anymore - if I need to open reddit as part of a search result, it gets opened in a disposable container tab.
Just checked: oldest account i still have is 16 years old.
12 years for me, bye bye! I really don't miss it much.
13-15 years old so. Went there during the Digg migration.

About 13 years of daily use for me, I haven't been back since the blackout started.
16y Redditor here
I started my first account in 2012 because my ex husband was into it. I ask don't understand "why does the narwhal bacon" but I slowly figured out reddit and recommended it to all of my friends. Sad to see it go; but I'm glad... except for a few small communities (Neopets, Microgrowery, AIDKE, shrimptanks, succshaming, etc.) it was turning into a cesspool of ads and manipulated visibility.

8 Years myself
About a decade or so on Reddit. Most of it through Relay when I was an android user or Apollo for the last few years.
Deleted my account. Don’t really think about Reddit anymore unless it comes up on a news site or here.
Yep was there 12-13 years and haven't been back since sync stopped working.
I changed accounts often but I was using the site from around 2010/11
I deleted my account of over 10 years and only go back anonymously for Ukraine and World News. I haven't found a replacement for those on Lemmy.
13 years. Adios.
Joined in January, 2013 so just over 10 years. Ialmost exclusively lurked though.
12 years!
12 years. Used a cleaner trying to remove everything. Noticed that still shows up in searches and I can still find them. Disappointing.
So where do I sell the reddit account? Make something good come of it.
13 years. Don't even notice it, loving kbin.social. hoping it gets app support soon!
Been on Reddit since 2011 while my main account is only 9 years old. Regardless, Lemmy is now my go-to except for smaller subreddits that haven't fully migrated yet. That said, I've noticed more and more activity in those lemmy communities so I have high hopes the trend continues!
