I only use reddit through Relay third party app, once it is gone, I cannot use reddit anymore, reddit without it is so bad that it is same to jump to Lemmy. So I am adjusting now and just using Lemmy/Jerboa.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, 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.

No, I haven't spent any time on Reddit since the closure, except for looking at r/Pics and their John Oliver err, protest. I haven't spent too much time on Lemmy though, that's because I've been busy helping out with an app for it :P
Only came back to reddit to edit my profile stating where Ive switched to (kbin in my case).
Left one comment on a post asking for advice telling them an answer was posted on the subs's kbin equivallent.
Other than that, I don't plan to log back in, and if I need to search something I do it adding https://reddit.adminforge.de/
Same, replaced RIF with Jerboa in my home screen. I do miss few communities but I think is only matter of time.
The only thing I look at on reddit now is save3rdpartyapps for updates, and check my 3rd party app subreddit from news from the dev hoping he announces a Lemmy app.
This is coming from someone with a severe reddit addiction where minutes couldn't pass without opening the app lol. 13 year old account.
Thanks for curing my addiction spez!
I'm still using Reddit more when I'm on my phone. I haven't been able to log in on my phone, for some reason. Tried everything I can think of.
We'll see what happens when Apollo goes down though. Probably won't spend much time on Reddit after that.
Though this is my first post over here, uninstalled RIF on the 12th (after buying premium as a thanks for the last decade of using that great app) and haven't been back to reddit since.
There are certainly plenty of subs I miss and things aren't all rosy here yet, but I refuse to ever go to reddit again. They brought me from a 4hr/day, decade long happy reddit user to a complete boycott overnight. Amazing business acumen.
Same here.

I’m enjoying it more than I thought
I'm working on transitioning over. I mean all the subreddits I follow are hard to just replace on a whim but slowly I'm getting there. Probably gonna download one of the phone apps for lemmy too.
Right now its hard because you are going from a site with a lot of people posting all the time, and here its a lot fewer people contributing.
The only reasons I still go to Reddit now are to:
- shit on Reddit and promote Lemmy, using RIF on mobile and an adblocker on desktop so that they get $0 revenue from me;
- check out the tiny NSFW shitposting sub I'm in as I made some friends there.
For anything else I go straight to lemmy.world which is my new home now.
As of now, yeppp
I just made a fresh new account here. Still trying to find my way around here. Will keep my reddit account for a little bit but just like with Instagram, the ads just became too annoying for me.

I've abandoned Reddit ever since a couple days before the blackout and it's been really nice. It feels refreshing to be part of what seems to be an upcoming community.
I haven't cut Reddit out completely, as much as I dislike the organisation, I did enjoy the community and it'll still be a huge source of information for a while yet. But once RIF stops working I won't be using my phone anymore, just my PC. Lemmy is growing and it's fun to witness it
Since they confirmed that won't change their mind about the API changes, I uninstalled infinity and I only spend time here. So far has been great!
I love infinity. Hopefully they can migrate it onto here. Jerboa is promising but painful and has its issues.
I barely even used Reddit in the first place... but I did find myself spending more time on Mastodon than Twitter after the whole Elon thing happened. Noticeably less toxicity in the places I hang out in. Even went as far as to wipe my account clean with a service so I'm not contributing any content to them, but keep my handle so nobody can steal it from me and say things.
Pretty much haven't gone back to reddit at all. I've been trying to transfer to Lemmy, but getting much of my scrolling fix off instagram nowadays.
My only traffic to Reddit in over a week was search based. My only engagement was here and Facebook.
I miss Relay something awful. The mobile lemmy site has some strong inconveniences, the mobile app is missing some outright features.
I'd still rather be here than there.
I’m new here, is it stupid that I made an account here and on kbin.social?
Technically you can access anything posted in either instance from either site. But I did the same thing before I understood federation, so don’t worry. You are not alone. Except maybe in a philosophical view.
I see! Guess I need to read up on how federation works
I've been bouncing between them when kbin is having server issues. That's another plus to the fediverse, if one instance is down you just log in to another.
I am
Yes, since yesterday I replaced Sync Pro on my screen with Jerboa, so I click it dozens of times per day. Today I haven't go on Reddit once.

I'm definitely spending more time on lemmy than reddit nowadays. Reddit still has too many great resources and info to abandon completely, but with more time to grow, hopefully lemmy will eventually replace reddit for me.
Yes. The fact that I routinely view by All, and it's pleasant, is lovely.
I am for sure. I just head over for one maybe two subs that I cannot replace (yet), and only once or twice a day (instead of constantly).
Besides that may random scrolling and news related needs are fully satisfied by lemme.
I try to spend most of my time over here, but i head over to Reddit when I want a sub that isn't available on Lemmy.
