Reddit

Me

I am still lurking at reddit from time to time. But my account got permanently suspended because mods over there are wankers. So... sort of.

Me

I did. Add 1 to your count.

Me too

Count me in.

Yep and I haven't missed it.

I did! I only end up back there if I'm searching for something like a tech problem and reddit is the only place my particular issue was discussed.

I haven't posted or commented on Reddit since over a month, but I haven't deleted my account yet. I have consulted Reddit a few times since, notably when it showed up in the results for a question I was looking up, or to see the posts from the r/Askhistorians weekly roundup (of which I follow the RSS feed). While the way I've been using Reddit lately doesn't require an account, I'm unsure of whether I intend to delete mine; partly because if for whatever reason, I needed to post a question somewherebit will get a big audience, that's the biggest I can currently get, and partly because I don't want all my great posts and comments of the past to be lost to history...

I'm trying right now. Just signed up n got approved.

My reddit account got soft locked over a year ago making me re-evaluate my relation with social media. I never bothered to reset my password as i could still lurk where i was previously logged in. The app-ocalypse meant i would have needed to get it fixed so i moved to lemmy instead and never looked back.

I left Reddit for good. Aside from the garbage spez pulled, I can’t use the site without Apollo.

I use both but my Reddit usage is down. There are communities there that don’t have a replacement here yet

Instead of using Reddit's site, I opted to use Libdirect which redirects you to privacy respecting front-ends instead of Reddit's website. It's kinda handy once you figure out some instances, the downside is that some instances are down and you need to take the time pinging those instances if they are working.

Here's the current use-case for me: I'll type reddit.com/r/privacy on my browser but then the extension will find the working instance you set and will completely redirect you to https://l.opnxng.com/r/privacy.

The only problem for this one is that you can't really comment to those questionable takes on r/unpopularopinion lol

I still visit specific subs like localllama, which is just a fantastic resource. But I never just browse Reddit anymore, the content is bad. I browse Lemmy all the time.

Also, the mobile 3rd party app I use to interact with Reddit hasn't been shut down. If that happens, it will likely be the final nail for me.

I did

Fuck Reddit!!!

We need so someone that can count all the "I did" messages and use that as a crappy metric lol.

Found out about lemmy through r/place, I was with a group allied with the join lemmy group. The group was encouraged to join lemmy.

I did. Only connect to Reddit if I want to find something from saved items.

+1

Does it count people banned from Reddit?

dropped reddit, yes. For lemmy? Not sure yet.

I dropped reddit on mobile, but on desktop i still use it from time to time. Although i was never really a heavy user to begin with.

I did

It depends on your definition of "dropped." Most people who moved from Reddit to Lemmy don't fall into the category of deleting their account and switching over 100%, rather Lemmy has filled the role of Reddit for most but not all of their browsing.

I use Lemmy to browse, and Reddit for search. E.g. If I want to checkout general online stuff people are discussing/sharing this is the place. If I want to look up frying pan recommendations I google "reddit le creuset"

i only use Reddit for technical questions on communities that don't exist on Lemmy or are inactive. I'm not using Reddit anymore for browsing but I'm not gonna artificially limit myself from that great resource for some performative activism

I am read ~70% lemmy vs 30% reddit. In my opinion this is because community is important. And reddit-community still be a big and active 🤷🏻‍♂️

I did. 💀
