Asklemmy

Almost every subreddits to specific games that I play (Celeste, Hollow Knight, etc), either has no federative alternatives or is still far more active on Reddit. Like 95% of contents I watch does not exist anywhere else.

Yes, and I've noticed something very odd. There seems to be some sort of false engagement and fake upvotes going on for average users.

Normally I post a smart-ass comment, and either get ignored, or down-voted a couple times...

Ever since the API restrictions, it's like no matter what I post, it gets a few upvotes very quickly. Some of these have mini explosions and gain a bit of traction.

I'm also seeing A LOT more activity on some of my other niche subs.

It just seems so fake and contrary to my prior 11 years of experience, makes no sense unless it is being bot driven.

I was following it for the drama involving the blackouts. I logged in today and started browsing around, and can't help but wonder if it's recently become even more polarized and radicalized with regards to absurd, hateful opinions, or if my bias' against it are making it look that way.

Either way, the experience made me feel gross, and it occurred to me that I just don't want to be there anymore.

I only visit reddit if I google something and a reddit thread about the problem pops up in the results. Otherwise, I'm completely off reddit.

I do not. I thought I would... I even told people such even as I supported the good fight. But, no... I haven't been back.

I guess I'm actually pissed off enough to not give incompetent, shithole billionaires and millionaires that extra win.

Not once.

Nah. This is my shitpost home now.

I do not. I stopped using it the day they announced the API changes, and I deleted my account the following day.

I still use it for Google searches. For the subreddits that aren't private anymore, it's still a good resource to get reviews from actual human beings. But I made use of Power Delete Suite to both edit and delete all my comments, and I deleted my accounts back in June.

No. I went cold turkey in mid-June. I logged back in last week to use Power Delete Suite to automatically edit every post and comment I ever made to this and then deleted my account.

I'll still use Reddit read-only and with cookies blocked if I stumble upon (ahahaha) it through a search or something.

I've stopped using reddit, unless I need to search for historic content related to some tech gadget or something. And then only on desktop/laptop.

I've subbed to audible and kindle unlimited and been happier since.

Negative - occasionally I'll find something on Google but I search for other options before resorting to Reddit haha.

Mainly using Lemmy. Was recently trying to migrate all of the Subreddits to Lemmy. Still have ReVanced Sync for Reddit installed, and Relay. Reddit has many more communities that I'm afraid Lemmy won't get to see, perhaps because the audience just uses the default Reddit app, but I'm hopeful. Even for Subreddits that moved to Lemmy, I feel like I get to see more content that I'm interested in, in the same period of time, even if I change the sorting. I usually see different content if I reopen any Reddit app, but Lemmy often shows me mostly the same posts for a day or so.

Nope

I still use Reddit, but have used it significantly less. I am experimenting with alternatives like Lemmy.

Now and again I jump on for niche information for my hobbies. But only on desktop, and only on old.reddit.com

Very rarely. If it's a terminally online day and I run out of content I might go on reddit.

I did until they killed joey today. Now I have no reason to go back.

Removed reddit bookmarks and apps and went all in on Lemmy, haven't touched Reddit.

I purged every post I had made over the years before walking away. Haven't looked back. Fuck'em.

My daily reddit use has dropped by an order of magnitude. Now I just subscribe to a few subreddit RSS feeds that I skim through once a day, and that's pretty much it. If I really feel compelled to post something, I'll begrudgingly grab my laptop and head to old.reddit ... we'll see how long that lasts.

I deleted all my posts and comments, most of my accounts and the official app. I’ve been maybe twice in the past few weeks because of search results. Before it was numerous times a day. Most of the subs I followed moved elsewhere and the Reddit stuff I get second hand via BORU’s discord

I just got here

Not since Boost stopped working

I still do, but only read a few nosleep stories on my mobile browser before bed. If I had another option for spooky stories from indie authors I would quit completely.

Nah deleted my acct like a month ago

what is this “reddit” thou speak of?

Not since the blackout, no.

I'm mostly just using it for subreddits that don't have an equivalent Lemmy community yet.

I'm not using reddit as a daily driver, but I visit it when I'm looking for answers.

All the time. Still getting my feet wet with lemmy

Only when a general search brings me to it. I no longer scroll it or actively choose to visit.

Only if it is a google result. I still have sync app installed :(

I'm the same way now, I used to use reddit daily.

Now, I only use it when I have question, I still google "my question" reddit.

The moment sync died, my engagement with it died.

It's sad, it was great.

But... It is the way he wants it... Well.. He gets it. I don't like it anymore then you do.

You know the song ;) https://youtu.be/5e3sI5xkA0M

I basically only use my phone these days and when third party apps died so did Reddit to me.

Me personally no, I quit on June 11th and I haven't looked back. My husband on the other hand looks at it periodically. He showed my something from r/PartyParrot yesterday thinking it was cool and I had to tell him it was a popular repost. Pretty much cemented the fact that I'm not missing anything.

Never really used it that much and I've been much more active in Lemmy than ever in Reddit.

However, if I have problem that need a quick answer, I usually search Reddit. This in not because it is somehow amazing, but because Google searches suck nowadays. Typing Reddit into the search query usually brings out the answer I need instantly.

No I dont't actually.

A bit. Not much, but a bit.

Lemmy is still missing some things I enjoyed from Reddit, things I can't just snap my fingers and create here by typing a name into the "create community" page.

I'm not bothered by it. The transition will happen in time. Rome wasn't built in a day. Etc.

I only check my profile occasionally to see if I need to run the super deleter on it again.

Nope, in fact after trying the super delete Suite (failed) I'm creating my own userscript to delete all my old comments. Once it's finished later today I'll post about it on Lemmy for others to use.

15yr old account dead and banned. The only time I check out Reddit is to look at the Western Europeans taking the piss out of each other on 2westerneuropean4u.
