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

The RIF app was reddit to me. I would typically spend over an hour per day on it.
I do still check Reddit maybe once a day on my desktop, maybe for about 5 minutes. There are still a few communities on there which don't have an active alternative here on Lemmy. However, I have deleted all my old posts and comments, and I do not make any new ones.
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.
Nope deleted my account 2 days ago
Nope. Having finally hammered down the local vernacular ("instances"/"communities") of Lemmy, I am so at home here. I miss RiF, but Liftoff is serving me well
Not one little bit. I used to be a big fan of reddit, spent 12 years there but as soon as Sync stopped working I deleted my account and never went back.
Boost was the only thing that made it tolerable, I couldn't use the official reddit app even if I wanted to
I go to check specific subreddits but I'm no longer a daily user
Nope, and I used to do a lot of Reddit - like several times a day, and usually entire evenings just browsing. I used PowerDeleteSuite and deleted my account, and I use an RSS reader with an adblocker for the 2-3 local subs I truly canβt find the same info for elsewhere. One is a university I teach at, and the only exception Iβve made to this was to create a throwaway to answer a question about salaries and point the person who was hoping to teach to our union contract. Worker solidarity > Reddit drama.
Nope! On June 30 I used a script to erase all my prior comments and posts and deleted my accounts.
Fuck u/spez.
Absolutely not. I have not logged in once since the day the protest started.
I really used reddit to lurk and scroll when I was bored. If I can't use the app I'm used to, there is no reason for me to return. Especially with the way they have been treating the community, I havent been back for about 3 weeks. I downloaded a lemmy app and put that in the same spot as rif was, and I havent looked back.
Id say 80% Lemmy 20% Reddit now.
I completely stopped using it.
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 do for a few communities where I want news updates that doesn't seem to have anything comparable here yet.
Other than that though, I try to limit any mindless scrolling to lemmy (managed to cut that down a lot)
On June 30 I deleted my two accounts, ran a script to change all my comments to say the account was deleted in protest (to limited success, and Im sure theyβve probably been reverted by now) and have only been back since twice due to a tech support question only having a google indexed answer easily available on Reddit.
I am no longer actively engaging with that platform. Iβve found though using voyager on my mobile devices and skimming lemmy aimlessly my need for βcontentβ is wholly satisfied.
Nope,
80% is bot reposts anyway.
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
I do, but only to support FOSS users in some communities that are not here [yet]. There is no opnsense community here in Lemmy, so when I see questions there in reddit, I help where I can.
However, my "bio" or whatever it is called in reddit, clearly states that I have moved to Lemmy permanently.
I am actually considering creating a opnsense community here and hoping that Franco will come and join, and take over ownership.

I still have my account, but I dropped all the apps and am no longer logged in in any of my browsers. I also still have some reddit rss feeds
@asklemmy
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.
Not unless a search result sends me there. Although I'll admit there's a couple hobby related subs I'll check once a week for news, but that's about it, dropped it completely otherwise.
Redreader is still working.
I use it for two things: checking out protest stuff and checking the only subreddit (it's a small one) that's actually keeping me on Reddit.
I open the app out of muscle memory a few times a day, infinity still works somehow, but most of my subs have been closed/dead now anyway so not really.
I haven't been back on Reddit since shortly before July 1. I enjoy the vibe here right and the novelty of something new hasn't worn off yet.
Some subreddits I was more into like Destiny 2's and Diablo 4 don't seem as busy here so I have a feeling I may need to lurk over there still from time to time.
Maybe once a week? To check on some specific subs, but I revert back to my old lurker ways when Iβm there and never contribute.
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.
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.
Since I started using Lemmy, not much. I am mostly on here now.
No
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.
Same here. I'm not actively browsing or looking for information from Reddit, but if it's unavoidable, then so be it. I can't ignore the wealth of information still there.
I completely switched to lemmy for my random scrolling. But the main community for a game is still there so sometimes I keep lurking that subreddit only (exclusively from pc)
Maybe once a week using RiF ReVanced for
- Checking two small subreddit
- Delete comments that haven't been visible anymore but now are again (because I deleted newer comments, now the older ones starting to appear again)
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 deleted my 9 year old account once Bacon Reader stopped working for me.
Didn't visit at all since June.
And I don't miss it :)
