It is possible to estimate?

Well I kept using it until Infinity died, which was only at the start of this month!

If I do decide to go back, it will be by compiling the infinity APK with my own API key, but I'm not feeling much of an urge to bother at the moment.

I deleted my Reddit account (24k karma, I think, about 10 years old?) and went with Lemmy. It's fine, though I miss a couple gaming subs.

I did. I do visit once every few days for the communities that haven't seen a big exodus. I was a Sync user, now I use Jerboa. It's actually on par with Sync imho. So I donated to Jerboa the exact amount Sync's developer was asking (sixteen euros).

I sort of did. I still have an account, but I only use it in the browser and very rarely, from like hourly use to maybe once a week when I can remember.

I still browse Reddit about as much as Lemmy, because many communities haven't taken off here yet.

Other than occasional query leading to it at work - i haven't been there at all.

It was very easy for me, though. This is the same environment as the one Inhad found on Google+ when that launched - full of technical geeks. I like that so I stayed.

I mostly stopped using it when RIF announced they'd drop support. Deleted my account and everything, although I do still pop into subs that haven't migrated over.

I stopped participating, and mostly using it. I've been back a couple times when a search for information led me there, but otherwise I haven't used it.

I'm Spartacus!

I Reddit exclusively on my desktop now, not on mobile where I did most of my browsing. I also pared back my usage to fewer communities.

I use Discuit primarily now, checking Lemmy (Beehaw mostly) very occasionally.

I lurk but Reddit is completely dead to me. I haven't used it more than once or twice since the API change

I miss some of the content but certainly not Reddit the company.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I didn't. However, I read Lemmy until I run out of interesting posts, then switch to reddit until the ads make me angry. Then I do something productive.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I mostly have. However I do not spend anywhere near as much time on Lemmy as I did on reddit. When all the third party stuff started going down I really started to assess how I used the Internet and had to change things. I was using Sync for Reddit on Average 2.5 hours a day which is just insane. Over the course of a decade it was like a year of real time and was really eye opening how much time I was wasting.

Now I set an app timer for Sync for Lemmy for 1 hour a day I rarely hit it.

I do check reddit, but I do not have an app installed, it's mostly to check something specific rather than endlessly scroll.

Almost entirely dropped reddit except sometimes for specific games or some 3D printing stuff

When the blackout started I deleted sync for reddit and a month ago I heard of lemmy, and now I'm back on sync, but for lemmy this time

I use it for one of the niche communities I usually went to. But other than that, I stopped voting other subs. So much rage bait and bigotry. It's only gotten worse since people started leaving. I just instantly go to the sub I want, check out some posts, which sometimes only take about a minute, and then leave.
