I dropped reddit but I do occasionally check for specific technical stuff anonymously sometimes.

Stopped (regularly) browsing it mid-June. Still haven't deleted my accounts because I am still not sure if all of my comments and posts over there have been truly cleaned off.

It's a pain when search results point me to Huffman's site, but with the Privacy Redirect add-on redirecting me to an alternative frontend, and failing that, manually checking the archived version of the page, I've mostly eliminated any visits to that place.

I still go back to reddit for specialized subs which don't have equivalents here, but that's only in my work desktop.

I also delete my replies after a few days

All my mobile browsing is done on sync and I'm here 75% of the time

I'm pretty much done with it. I do the occasional search for piracy content with a search engine but other than that I get my fill of internet surfing elsewhere.

+1

Tbh I felt Reddit was getting less interesting and more of a habit, Apollo was the last straw. Lemmy is small and a much less active, but more random. Prob good to reduce the mindless scrolling.

There are dozens of us.

In all seriousness, I do occasionally visit select subreddits even though I no longer have an account. I'd like to think leaving reddit has changed my internet browsing habits in a good way.

Never posted on reddit, most communities seemed hostile and unwilling to hear different perspectives. People here seem a lot more reasonable.

Does use include viewing it in search engine results? Or do you mean actively posting to it?

I do the former but not the latter.

Yeah, I stopped using Reddit completely and it has given me a lot of time back in my day. I enjoy Lemmy, but it is not as content rich - which is good because I don't stick around as much as I did on Reddit. It's just enough, should have kicked reddit years ago honestly

I've only gone back to Reddit when Google lead me there. Otherwise, I'm here.

Most of the people on here probably did, or traded/split time between the two.

Five.

Idk how you would get a clean estimate, however I can say that I no longer use Reddit

I didn't really drop Reddit, I just don't have the easy phone access I used to have so I visit it a lot less now and I don't like their app. I can use Lemmy right here on my phone and found an app that's very similar to BaconReader so I'm good for now.

I use both Reddit and Lemmy now. I used to use RiF on mobile but now Reddit for me is pc only. Liftoff for Lemmy has taken over that spot on my phone now. The main reason I haven't been able to completely switch is just the lack of some of my favourite sub Reddits switching over to Lemmy. The Lemmy communities exist but they're lacking numbers.

I left. I check reddit maybe once every 2 weeks for one single subreddit, for medical reasons. It's still the best source of information for me in this particular situation.

Sometimes I miss the constant feed of fresh posts but then I remember that I really don't need that. I'm still up to date on pretty much everything I need with Lemmy and I'm not constantly doomscrolling like I was on reddit.

me, although my hand was slightly forced with a permaban at the same time. I don't regret it at all, although I do miss some of the niche communities that aren't really taking off here (yet)

Yep, and haven't missed it at all.

Yep. Deleted my account and all previous comment and post history. Haven't gone back.

Got suspended with no explanation from a heavily used professional sub...asked for an explanation and was banned/ suspended (2 different accounts) Appealed ban, ask for explanation...nothing, just more ban/suspensions. ....deleted 2 accounts, ridiculous.

Me but reddit comes up in searches and I still have to go to it for things like local postings and gaming stuff

I set on Lemmy.zip during the blackout protest on Reddit, and haven't gone back to it. Don't miss it. Lemmy has grown a lot in the past few months. It's only a fraction of the Reddit userbase size, but steadily filling out and getting better.

Count me in. Removed my account after I had heard that admins are removing mods from the closed/nsfw subreddits. The content on Lemmy is not that diverse yet, I miss regional or nieche technical communities sometimes. But I hope things will get better eventually.

I guess you could look at how many users Lemmy added during the drama, most likely near 100% of those were Reddit refugee. I did switch when it became clear reddit overall was getting too shitty, too big & corporate.

I switched the day after Boost went dark. The only times I go on Reddit are when I Google something and a reddit link comes up. Lemme definitely isn't a 1:1, but I kinda like it more because the user base seems better quality. I've made more posts/comments in my few months on Lemmy than I did in my few years on Reddit.

I did too

I switched and in the end that's all that matters, you're welcome everyone

Me

I did for Lemmy + Tildes + a bit of Hackernews.

I can't access reddit with infinity no more so I guess I'm here

I use lemmy on my phone, but for the rare occasions I am at my PC I still use reddit, because there are active communities there that don't exist here unfortunately.

I basically did. I stopped using mobile on July 31 since I was using boost and never looked back.

I wrote a case study on the API thing and spent a ton of time researching the different things going down on reddit and off throughout June and July so I used it on PC for that. Haven't really been back since.

I did, completely. I don't spend as much time on Lemmy as I used to on Reddit, but I net more enjoyment out of the experience.

Not for Lemmy precisely, but I said f it and never gone back(excluding random click). Trying to help AK community I was involved past few years. Moderating a bit on kbin AK magazine, but mostly either spend time on Discord where mix of reddit and non reddit sitting. Mastodon for more serious information and interaction with Lemmy, while Misskey for Arknights fanart/art with hopes that some federates to Kbin magazine(lately # not picking up sadly). Waiting for better mod tools, federation fixes.

I tried using reddit again twice since the exodus. it's just not the same.
