Reddit Migration

Someone pointed me to an extension that redirects to other sites, so for the two subreddits I still track (Hololive and Arknights) I redirect them instead.

Hololive has barely moved but will probably be able to drop Arknights soon as the community here is building up more.

Pretty much everything else is here now.

I'm still occasionally browsing it as I still enjoy using Apollo, its really just that good of an app. But I'll be cutting ties on the 30th once the API key expires.
As others meantioned, I'll make sure to delete my accout with GPDR and pursue action should they bring my content back.

Redditor of 10 years, gone for good. I might leave this website too, since I'm being branded a "trans-hater" here for asking what constitutes an "anti-trans law"

My account was 15 years old, I think? Whilst I am at home here. I do find out of habit open Reddit up on Desktop or Mobile. That's only been four or five times since the start of June.

Haven’t been back since June 1st. I am enjoying Lemmy and the Fediverse greatly. I am trying to contribute and comment as much as I can.

They still have the best soccer place

Some of my Google searches have resulted in reddit links. I question real hard how much I need whatever info is stored in that link before deciding to click.

It's unfortunate, but Reddit has SO MUCH valuable content that we have given to it. I'm hoping the fediverse will gradually start acquiring that same content along with more content.

Deleted my account during the AMA. Reddit is dead to me.

I'm still somewhat present on Reddit, but I definitely feel a sort of "winding down" going on. I'm not commenting much any more and I rarely scroll past the first page. I'm sticking around because there's still some groups of interest over there that aren't present here yet but I foresee that changing over time.

I quit it around the end of the blackout, when a lot of redditors started to get nasty towards protesting mods and even got all smug at their own impotence. Too many people being like "what, you really think that's gonna do anything?". They have no self-respect, no passion, no appreciation for the efforts of others. What good can there be of being surrounded by people like that?

Outside of looking up some very niche stuff (r/NoContract, etc) on desktop, haven't touched it. Granted, haven't been on bin.social much either.

Same. Can we just stop talking about it and let it die

I've pretty much only commented on threads related to protesting and what I think of the situation. Not much else.

Yeah same for me. Ever since the problem with the API and stuff i just drifted away from Reddit.

I was just thinking about this this morning. 14 year old account. The only reason I've been back in the last couple of weeks has been to work on purging my comments, posts, etc and to harvest information from saved posts (all with the intent to delete the account entirely on the 30th). I do find myself missing some subreddits occasionally, but for most of the content I've been able to find suitable alternatives.

What I have really noticed is how much browsing reddit had become an "idle activity" for me - don't have something immediately in front of me to do? Why not browse reddit? It's become really apparent just how much time every day I was wasting there.

12th for me, but yes. This place works for me.

Same. Used to go there daily like it's my home but It doesn't feels like home anymore.

I kept accidentally going back by clicking on the rif app on my phone. Then I'd quickly exit out. I went back to see a result from Google for a recent event I went to. Other than that I haven't been back.

Basically same here. Only exception is when I've googled a question I had and ended up there.

We dropped off the day that rif announced they were folding, we don't remember which day that was. Technically we've been there since then occasionally, either because we accidentally clicked a link in google search, or because the other day we went back there to grab a list of our subscribed subreddits to do a proper migration, but the moment the writing on the wall became clear, we jumped ship.

Same, even though I miss some communities and their knowledge base.

I still check it every now and then to see updates on where some of my more niche communities are moving if they are at all.

My only interactions with Reddit since the blackout have been google search results. I admit that I do miss it, but the behavior of spez and his lackeys has been despicable, and totally killed any enthusiasm I had left for Reddit.

Reddit refugee here since the 12th. i'm glad i gave up my subs and left reddit. I haven't looked back. the whole thought of the #fediverse and being able to talk to anyone from other instances is amazing!

gotta say i'm quite surprised that some communities are thriving here. sure it's only a fraction of what's on reddit, but it's still quite active

I haven't been on Facebook in almost 10 years, I deleted both my Twitter accounts the day Elon officially bought the site, but I gotta confess, I've been back to Reddit a few times via Google, to get some niche questions answered. It's become such a backlog of discussion for so many topics that it's kind of not feasible to just wipe it off the map, we have to be able to migrate all that stuff somewhere Spez isn't able to fuck with it.

And of course, I don't know where else to find an easy compilation of over 14 different imgur albums and GDrive documents for Monster Hunter meta builds, so even if I bookmark them now, I still had to go back to get the links in the first place.
