i still scroll a little bit. a few subs with content i cant really get anywhere else. tbh the content on lemmy is very bare so iβll scroll twitter moreβ¦
I look into niche communities that I can't find in a suitable way on the fediverse, but I don't engage anymore. No comments, no posting, no up- or downvotes, no gilding (lol). I am sitting on 17100 of these coins and I will watch them melt away when Reddit removes rewards.
I lurk on my country's subreddit once a day through libreddit or on browser with ads blocked. I used to do that for a couple other small subs but I don't bother doing it as much anymore, I just check what's posted there like 1-2 times a week at this point
Nope. Not once since June 12th.
I have an RSS subscription to r/ebookdeals and an account that was previously to keep nsfw browsing separate from main browsing and access that now is subscribed to r/modcoord and r/3rdpartyapps to watch the drama that I occasionally check in on once a week or so, but otherwise Lemmy is my regular browsing home.
I do for niche communities, especially those for reading / books / literature. Thereβs fewer of those here on Lemmy, and the ones in languages other than English are nonexistent.
Only if it turns up in a search result for something. I refuse to install their crappy app on my phone and Lemmy scratches enough of the itch that I havenβt been tempted back
only when searching for minecraft modding stuff, although i don't have an account anymore
Drastically reduced my usage and now spend that time on other side projects / reading. I miss the large volume of comment but don't miss being treated like an obstacle (like how reddit leadership sees their users)
Two subreddits that I check on occasion for information/memes, both of which I'm hoping will eventually gain traction here. I don't have an account though.
Nope, not at all. Uninstalled weeks ago. Actively avoid in search results. Had been subconsciously looking to move on for a long time. See ya later, better things to do and places to be.
I don't use it any more. At most when people refer to something Reddit here, specially in c/snoocalypse, I check it then archive it then link the archive.
That said I don't blame people who still use it, even if I encourage people to not to.
Sometimes I open up the home page to see what's up, then I see what's up is less interesting than it used to be and less interesting than what's happening here. And I close it pretty quickly. I'm still using it as part of my Google searches when I need quick human answers. It's gonna continue to be a historical resource in that regard. No getting around that. But my account only exists so that I can access those resources without too much fuss. It's not something I use to post or contribute. I used the Sign In With Apple feature to just generate a throwaway anonymous account after I deleted my 11 year old account.
I literally only use it to check if there's a new Chainsaw Man chapter out so I open r/ChainsawMan once every two weeks, that's about it
I think I'm like most people here on this one. I avoid Reddit unless I absolutely need to find an answer to a question that can only be solved by a random saint from, like, 5 years ago
No. I bounce between here and my main Lemmy instance. I prefer KBin in general, but there are already usable apps for Lemmy.
I don't really go to reddit since the apps got killed and I refuse to use the pile of garbage the official app is. Aside from a few niche subs there really isn't much to see there anymore, especially in summer. It's all edgy kids and bots now for the most part.Whatever sense of community there once was is long gone.
I purged my feed from over 150 subs I would spend the first and last few hours each day browsing and commenting from my bed to less than 20 I lurk every few days from my pc, almost all of which are gaming communities with no fediverse replacements.
Only if a Google search points me to an answer to a specific problem.
It still comes up on google when you need to figure out an obscure issue and is usually the best answer, although I'm trying to limit it. Other than that, I deleted my account and am long gone.
I still use it for a couple of hobby related things although I could probably use discord for some of it.
Whilst I am using lemmy it's not quite hitting the spot so I use it less. I'm getting an awful lot more reading done.
Nah, deleted that shit as soon as they announced the API.
I saw the writing on the wall.
Only for superstonk and wallstreetbets. I find the fediverse including Mastodon enough for me. I was never a Twitter guy, but I created a Mastodon account on Infosec and it's amazing the knowledge and people you can find out there.
I donβt but if I have a question Iβll google and add site:reddit.com for sureβ¦
Yup for those little weird subs I'm still on.
Only rss of gamedeals and buildapcsales. Those are functionally useful subs. Good deal alerts.
Have no interest in anything else like random discussions in hobbies or games or television or shows or sports which are stuff that are easy to quit. Even /r/Heat family I have left behind despite basically no activity here. Those are more entertainment and don't offer utility. That includes niche subs I enjoyed like gunpla or dedicated tv show or game subs. It just falls into category of entertainment that isn't so useful I need it.
I knew it essentially coming to a close when I didn't have Reddit Enhancement Suite installed anymore.
I have been using the official Reddit app from my cakeday (did not know about all the other apps until they were gone), and have opened the app like every other day but haven't made a comment since I switched to Lemmy.
I still do, but not in the same capacity.
With the death of BaconReader I don't scroll as much, and just from looking at my front page, I imagine it's not only the summer doldrums that have thinned it out so much. It's just... harder to find good discussion there, and what I do find is often charged in some way, or very thin. So, I stick around for some of the communities that I'm more active in, but I'm also doing things on Lemmy, and a few other places. Honestly, idk that I'll ever full drop Reddit in the same way that I did, say, MySpace, mostly in that there's probably going to be some value somewhere on the site. But, it's certainly not my main source of idle scrolling or engagement anymore.
Also, yes, I know I can still make BR work, but at this point I'll just keep using Reddit in browser with uBlock Origin.
I still use Reddit, I didn't move here because I was pissed at apps going away (never used them anyway), just wanted to familiarize myself before I'll be forced to move when they inevitably remove old reddit in the future.
There's still communities important to me that either only exist on Reddit or have way too little engagement here. Until they remove old reddit or that changes, I'll stay on reddit. But I'm doing my part by having disabled ads on reddit (I had them enabled before the third party app stuff).
Iβve done some Google searches and looked at Reddit results, and I view some choice subreddits on an RSS feed. But I have not logged in to Reddit since Apollo went down. Lemmy still seems to be getting better every day. While the content drought is still there I have taken to reading a book at night before bed instead. Iβm hoping that just becomes a long lasting habit in lieu of scrolling.
The official app has bad performance and that's why I only browse on my pc. Usually that's once a week.
I used to spend hours everyday there. Now I only visit for a few minutes a week to check up on a game.
But I'll never touch the official app and I'll never come back, even if they backtracked the API decision, because f u/spez
Been 16 days since I last checked Reddit. Lemmy has been a refreshing experience.
theres a couple communities stuck on there I still check on, but no longer casually browse.
I do, from desktop, mainly as force of habit.
my chosen mobile app, Relay, actually still works, but I am trying to train myself to use Lemmy more.
I just wish the content changed over faster, and there were more comments.
Only here and there for one specific sub
Only the NSFW content, I got everything else here.
No
Swapped in Memmy at the Apollo spot on my phoneβs home screen, and not looking back! Itβs been great so far.
Unfortunately there are a couple of very specific subs which have no equivalent on Lemmy and I have gone back for them once or twice. Iβm considering leaving those communities behind. Although it sucks to have to do so, ultimately it feels like the right thing to do.
I've gone back and lurked a single sub a fee times that doesn't have an active user base here. Even the sub is slower now, than before the protests and app removals. The mobile site is cancer compared to RIF, which really helps to not go there.
Lemmy got active enough after the API changes took effect that I have rarely been back.
No. Have not logged for weeks and can't think of any good reason to go back.
