Does anybody else continue to frequent Reddit, albeit without an account? (lemm.ee)

There are simply some communities I can't find on Lemmy. For example, I use subreddits based on admissions to specific colleges that would never be able to function on Lemmy due to its size. I'd much prefer to abandon Reddit altogether but the information I need is usually only there.

I've cut out 99% of my Reddit activity. No comments, no votes, mostly stop by some sports subreddits, read headlines then leave.

In the past, I used to post some of my creative work in daily/weekly feedback threads. I could reliably get at least ONE REAL PERSON to leave a comment which was good enough for me. I tried doing this again last week and all I got was some rando douchebag using a chatbot to give fake feedback and try to drive traffic toward his Instagram.
