Asklemmy

Nope, nothing proprietary on my watch.

I still use reddit but only when Google search results points me to it and via a teddit (alternative frontend) instance so I don't give them a dime with ads nor a visit, but teddit is slowly dying (Error: 429 "Too Many Requests") because they decreased the limit of posts it could load, so you have to switch between instances until it finally loads, but thankfully, a script does that for you automatically (thanks to bezier-curve from Hacker News https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36726442) : https://pastebin.com/zFJ5nb42

Also, to be automatically redirected from reddit to your favorite teddit instance, you could use this extension for Firefox (I'm not using Chrome sorry) : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reddit-to-teddit-redirect/

To help prevent 429 errors from happening, you can still help by creating more teddit servers! : https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit

Basically my heart is here now and this is where I come for social media , that does not mean I will not use reddit from time to time , but those times are getting less and less, my main reason to use reddit now is to promote lemmy. To give a better idea I spent probably an hour a day on reddit or two or three visits. Now I have not visited for over a week and recent visits have been a few minutes.

Kept using 3rd party apps until they shut down. I personally wouldn't be caught dead on the offical reddit app just on principal. I tried using the desktop site a couple times until I found Lemmy!

The major exception to this is if I look up a question or something and theres an answer on Reddit, I'll still click that link.

Nope, I actually deleted my Reddit account. I already had low support for Reddit because of the response they gave after the last time there was a Reddit blackout. I had been using Lemmy on and off on my old account on the main instance, so when the recent blackout happened, I gave Reddit one last chance but the way they handled the situation was the last straw for me. I came back to my account on Lemmy and used it until the main Lemmy instance started having server problems due to the influx of users.

Redreader is still working.

Sometimes for fixes and stuff but not much anyomore

Just to check some niche subreddits. Browser only, no sign in. And once I find what I need on the lemmyverse I'm all done.

I've visited a couple of times. My preferred app (relay) is still working, but I'm guessing I'll jump ship completely once relay is affected, Lemmy has mostly replaced my Reddit habits anyway.

I told myself I would leave gradually but in reality I'm never over there anymore. Its just so annoying and slow to not be able to use RIF.

Meanwhile the fediverse is so new and interesting and way more friendly.

Since I started using Lemmy, not much. I am mostly on here now.

Yes, I'm using Lemmy on my phone but on my lunch at work and stuff on my computer it's Reddit still. I am evangelizing Lemmy though.

I have always lurked Reddit, I have never made an account. With Lemmy, I contribute instead of lurk as I feel I have a part to play in it's early growth for it to succeed. But that being said, I occasionally check the front page and a few specific subreddits but not quite as frequently since I joined Lemmy.

Oh, and when I do, I use LibReddit to view reddit, so nothing even official.

Nope. Deleted my account as soon as I heard about the API pricing and never looked back. As far as I was and still am concerned, even if they backtracked the API bullshit the writing is on the wall: reddit no longer cares about providing value to users, if they ever did. They're no in the endgame of enshittification of trying to extract value from anywhere they can, quality of service be damned.

I am lurking and watching the dumpster fire at this point , reddit went full Authoritarian on Dndmemes and sacked a bunch of cool mods because we turned it into a goblin porn subreddit for the shutdown/blackout and the admins did not like that... so I am posting here now and watching Reddit burn in the distance.

Maybe once a week? To check on some specific subs, but I revert back to my old lurker ways when I’m there and never contribute.

Nope. Not once since June 12th.

Haven't been there since the blackout, don't miss it. I've always gone there with desktop browser running uBO so I never did see adds there except for inline stuff once in a while. That's one nice thing about Lemmy, looks exactly the same whether the blocker is on or off.

managed to shift my idle browsing here. though i was kind of weening off reddit slowly over the past years. with lemmy exploding it has brought back some of that feeling of exploring and looking for communities i was missing on reddit haha

sadly nebula.tv sends you to reddit for comments on their exclusives, that is one holdover that is also unlikely to go away...

I do, but I'm trying to quit

Just for the porn tbh.

Occasionally I use reddit to find answers to questions about topics that aren't really available on lemmy

I just recently got around to archiving posts of mine before deleting my account, so I literally have no ties other than those on the Wayback Machine.

Needless to say, I don't go back and I do my absolute best to avoid any and all links from it whenever possible.

I deleted my account 1st July. I won't lie there is still a couple of subreddits I'll check out through old.reddit, but mostly due to a recent crush on John Oliver.

Lemmy still has some issues that need to be addressed for it to fully replace Reddit for my needs

Be honest, do you still use reddit?

Only when searching about a particular topic or problem, whether I'm looking something up in a game or just troubleshooting.

Otherwise nothing, no account nor any browsing.

I don't browse it (I have a redirector rule that links me right out of Reddit), but if I need to access it for something, I just tack on old. as a bypass.

If I do a web search I'll still go to reddit if it as a useful thread but I don't actively go on it.

I pretty much only use it to add at the end of a google search. I feel like lemmy might be lacking in hits if I tried that

I have reduced my usage by about 90%. The hockey community here is just not active enough for my hockey news needs.

I don’t browse Reddit routinely anymore like i would before. But I’d still visit it once in a while to read about discussion on niche subjects.

Yes, the /r/Cricket sub hasn't moved from reddit yet. But nothing more.

However, I don't use the reddit app. I'm using Boost only. If it stops working, I might not use reddit at all.

Nah, sometimes google tries to make me enter but I just scroll a lil more and use any other result.

I do. Lemmy is great for general purpose stuff, so far the best alternative I've found as far as the crossroads between layout and community involvement. However I follow a lot of fandoms and more specific communities, and those just aren't there yet. I'm trying to start contributing here to encourage it, but the communities for those are still for the most part on reddit.

Stopped using on June 30, deleted content. Nuked account on July 9 (10th cake day).

Need a replacement for r/xwingtmg and come October, hopefully c/anes will be as game day active as r/canes, but fuck Spez.

I logged in once to look up something I had saved, but the mobile site is so irritating to use I gave up.

Nope deleted it completely

Scrolled for maybe 3 minutes total in the past month... Was a heavy commenter before that.

no

Occasionally, but always logged out and with an adblocker. It seems to get worse every time I check it.

I don't scroll through reddit anymore but will use it if a friend shares a link or when looking for something. It was hard the first few days as I found myself opening Sync only to be greeted by the goodbye message. Safe to say I was quite addicted to doom scrolling but happy to have stopped.

Been using Jerboa for 2 weeks now and have not doom scrolled yet, feels good

I don’t. I suspect we’re the minority of Reddit users though. It’s a hard addiction to give up even with an okay replacement like Lemmy or kbin.

I just did some searching for the best grind size settings for my Aeropress. Some of the search results led to Reddit, I clicked on them and felt a bit dirty lol. Funnily enough a few of results still led to private groups. Reddit will still be a source of information about niche topics. Let's hope Lemmy becomes that source instead...

Deleted the app, deleted my account. Haven't been back.

I do when a Google search leads me to a thread, but I don’t have an account. I don’t keep browsing like I used to. I’m also both annoyed and happy to see replies to threads deleted or replaced with goodbye phrases.

I stopped entirely. When I draw a fanart of something I'll post it, but I haven't drawn any fanart recently.
