I go there through Tedit sometimes when info I need comes up in a search, but I haven't logged in or browsed the site directly since the API protest blackout.
Weird how I seem to have more free time now. Must be a coincidence.
Only if a Google search points me to an answer to a specific problem.
No I don’t, why would I when there’s Lemmy with all this fine people?
I do. But only when I absolutely need to. I kind of miss the uk motorbike dub. But, eh, that's just life.
If I do need to use it. I go firefox with ghostery, and Ublock origin. But that's only because, if I search for a problem, reddit usually has it. If it asks me to use the mobile app, then, I can always just tell Firefox to use the desktop site, and I haven't had an issue with that yet.
Only when I search for something and there is a result from reddit, I read that and only that one. Otherwise, no.
No. I only really use my phone for everything. It's impossible to see the old website on mobile and the regular website is hot garbage, and somehow their app is even worse. There is no way for me to access Reddit and have a pleasant experience anymore.
Reddit basically forced me to go to Lemmy. I was mad at first, but now 3 weeks into it (1 week casual before the Baconreader died and then 2 weeks of redditesque addiction) I really don't mind. There are some subs I really miss, but hopefully someone makes communities for them soon. (Malicious compliance and HobbyDrama are what immediately pop into my head)
I use it for finding information on Google, but other than that nah
@001100010010 Nope, all gone. I used to browse daily via an app on my phone.
Nowdays I've setup my own lemmy instance, and typing "reddit" on my phone will launch jerboa instead, so that takes care of covering for the bad habbit :D
There are just two subs I check about once every two days, but I'm yet to log in again after I disconnected my account last month. I used to only visit it through Libreddit as the UX is better anyway but now that one's gone too...
Yes as there are certain subs that aren't on lemmy. But I have been visiting it a lot less since lemmy.
Went back for like a day after my main amount on v.lemmy went down with the server.
After a day I couldn’t stomach it anymore. Reddit All is just a bunch of warzone footage or clickbait news.
I created a new main on a new Lemmy server and am loving being here.
Only via libreddit.hu
I still use reddit if I'm at my desktop which is rarely. Haven't touched it on mobile since the API change.
i modded a copy of apollo to use my private api. until they cut that off, i still do.
reddit is a source of information. (fact).
but i logged out and will not be going back.
boost for reddit has become unusable, many subs i frequent are still blackout. i have no real use for reddit any more, ill use the web client for google results when the sub i need isnt gone
this has done wonders for my social media addiction, more tjme spent with my friends on discord rather than doomscrolling reddit
Not really. Checked it a couple of times, but I'm sticking with Lemmy. Don't miss it, don't need it.
I used to visit reddit for fun. Now I just check it if it comes up in a google search.
I created a libreddit instance for myself, so if I want to browse a specific subreddit that hasn't moved away, (e.g. /r/warthunder) I can without using the official site.
there's a single community there that i read but don't engage with, because they haven't found a new home. also, while problem solving some tech issues, qwant and ddg both feed me reddit as threads to find solutions, but i digest the info and dont sign in, upvote, comment etc
I admit I wasn't intending to leave Reddit. Sure, I absolutely wasn't going to install the damn official app, but I browse Reddit way more on desktop that on my phone. But it turns out my time spent on Reddit absolutely tanked without me doing much. Lemmy turned out to be a better replacement for me than I expected, I could find a lot of interesting activity here unlike, say, Mastodon where I had to dig further.
That does not mean I left Reddit entirely lol, but I sure enter way less now.
Yup. I never used any of the apps (always opened reddit through my mobile browser) so I wasn't affected that way. I am sympathetic to all the issues brought up, and I do really like the fediverse, but I don't think the users are here yet.
I like going to reddit to read about opinions or someone more knowledgeable than me talk about things. I find there's a lack of discussions in the fediverse at the moment for me, and maybe that's due to me having to curate my experience more. I don't know. But for now, yes, I still use it.
Of course not!!
<.< >.>
Use reddit? I still have my work account for when Google sends me there.
Visit Reddit? No.
Yes but as Lemmy grows I’ll probably stop. There’s still some local subreddits that haven’t made the move. Since I don’t use Facebook, it’s the only way to get the local happenings.
Rarely. Without RiF I legitimately hate reddit on mobile using old reddit. I'll lazily browse sometimes when I'm at a PC but it's super limited to topics I haven't found on here yet.
Not really. The only time I ever go to reddit is if I want info about a really niche subject and the post is usually several years old anyway.
There's a few things that I follow that do have communities here, but little to no engagement in those communities. I'll occasionally get on to look at those subreddits for updates, but I don't have an account anymore so I don't log in and I don't engage with the communities. I also use RES so they don't get any of my advertising revenue. Someone had linked a read only Reddit client before but I can't remember what it was, If anyone does remember let me know so I can switch to that.
NO
