Asklemmy

I take the occasional peek to see if it imploded yet. I do miss certain communities. Only last week I was looking for some info on a historical subject. Google turned up nothing so I wanted to r/askHistorians. I hate they decided to stay on reddit and don't switch to lemmy.

Lemmy exclusively on my phone (Memmy app) and reddit occasionally when on my PC.

I visit the Ukraine livethread on worldnews once a day and that is it. I use Lemmy or Mastodon mostly.

I am not logged into my reddit account, and ads are blocked. I use a VPN. I cancelled my reddit premium subscription when the API changes were announced.

I used to visit reddit for fun. Now I just check it if it comes up in a google search.

I occasionally check https://reddit.com/r/artifexian which is the official community for a youtube channel and podcast that I like.

Other than that, I'm out.

there's a single community there that i read but don't engage with, because they haven't found a new home. also, while problem solving some tech issues, qwant and ddg both feed me reddit as threads to find solutions, but i digest the info and dont sign in, upvote, comment etc

Yes but as Lemmy grows I’ll probably stop. There’s still some local subreddits that haven’t made the move. Since I don’t use Facebook, it’s the only way to get the local happenings.

Only if my search engine gives a result for technical advice I need.

Yup. I never used any of the apps (always opened reddit through my mobile browser) so I wasn't affected that way. I am sympathetic to all the issues brought up, and I do really like the fediverse, but I don't think the users are here yet.

I like going to reddit to read about opinions or someone more knowledgeable than me talk about things. I find there's a lack of discussions in the fediverse at the moment for me, and maybe that's due to me having to curate my experience more. I don't know. But for now, yes, I still use it.

I created a libreddit instance for myself, so if I want to browse a specific subreddit that hasn't moved away, (e.g. /r/warthunder) I can without using the official site.

Sometimes I use Reddit to search up nonfiction book recommendations on r/books with searx.be (it automatically fetches you results on the old reddit website) because to be honest, it's pretty much one of the few places where I can find nonfiction recommendation for niche topics or just nonfiction readers in general (that isn't just about self-help books). Not only that, the users generally give a synopsis so it's easier to find what book you'd be interested in. But since Reddit made porn less accessible, my reddit usage dropped significantly.

I will occasionally browse because Relay still works, but I stopped contributing content.

Nope, I haven't been there even once since switching over to Lemmy

I still hang out mostly on Reddit. As much as the site’s gone downhill, I’m mostly active on the fandom-specific subs, which don’t have nearly as much of a presence on Lemmy. The general meme communities have been flourishing, but the fandom communities are basically ghost towns, and even those that see a bare minimum of activity are far from enough to pop up in my feed. Right now, /r/yugioh has ten times as many online users as /c/yugioh has subscribers period - and that’s one of the more active niche communities I follow! I’ll still be keeping an eye on Lemmy and post to both sites when I can, but we’ve got a lot more growing to do before I’m ready to finally ditch Reddit.

Also, Reddit has the hentai. The specific fandom subs at least have small barely-active communities here but their NSFW counterparts are totally nonexistent.

yes, but only for specific content. my city and state have a very active subs that just hasn't really taken off on Lemmy yet. there's a lot of news from both that i can't get anywhere else. similarly i'm pretty active on r/dmacademy and there just isn't a community on lemmy that i've found that is similar yet. i think when those communities take off here i'll finally cut the cord on reddit.

I lurk with an ad blocker. I do still have an account and am logged in so I can vote and save some posts.

Once or twice a week I check my local subreddit and a couple of best of subs.

Hell no! FU Spez

Still active on some niche communities that they don't want to leave Reddit and only using it on desktop.

For porn yeah but not for anything else. Been away for as long as my lemmy account is old

nope

Nah, I created a Lemmy account at the start of June (at least the Jerboa installation date says that) and uninstalled boost a few days later. Only checked in on Reddit from time to time with libreddit, to have a look at the John Oliver party.

I deleted or mass-edited all my comments and sent an GDPR request. Only thing left after that is the account deletion.

Didn't want to give them any traffic anymore, so I avoided everything about it.

I’ve noticed I haven’t really been enjoying my time on Reddit anymore. Since the shutdown of Apollo, I’ve found simple tasks like search and going to my favorite subreddits a chore.

Discussions inside of the posts also have deteriorated and I feel like I’m seeing way more AI generated content on askreddit and aita etc. Bots have also run rampant on subreddits like interestingasfuck.

Lemmy is reminding me of Reddit from 2010 . Lots of memes, smaller communities with great discussions. Also love it being connected to Mastodon.

What I’ve realized is I’ve just ended up spending more time outside of any of these apps, which might have ended up being a blessing.

I've checked the frontpage from time to time just to monitor what's changing, but I have yet to log in.

Not really, since I went back once or twice but then realised how little value I get from there and how much time I waste there. I also try to reduce my time on lemmy but at least everything is new and fresh here.

Nope they got porn here now

I stopped by once to double check my stuff was still deleted.

I still check some subs, like recent infos on the war in ukraine. And some others that have not catches up in terms of activity…

But it’s getting less and less. I also open Apollo less frequently, realising that it doesn’t work anymore

Yes, just a lot less because theres no app for it, so I only check it from a desktop PC instead of constantly the way I have in the past.

Maybe it's just me but the volume of interesting posts has fallen off a cliff after July 1st. The front page has much less activity and noticably more of it is reposts (which were there before, just a much higher ratio now).

The niche subreddits were always the key draw though, those still only exist on Reddit and nowhere else on the internet.

Occasionally, after seeing something in the news regarding Reddit, I will use libreddit.kavin.rocks to see if that news, or any other negative press is anywhere on r/all.

Most recently was about them removing rewards and coins, and prior to that was code in the app that appears to allude to a cash for karma reward system.

Not really. The only time I ever go to reddit is if I want info about a really niche subject and the post is usually several years old anyway.

Just checked today and found out that they decided to rob all users of their coins.

Unfortunately some topic specific subs haven't made the jump to Lemmy yet, so for those I still have to check there occasionally

Yes and No.

Smaller communities with no equivalent, I'm there and still active. Technology, memes and world news, I'm here. But I'm also on other sites more again.

Just for the porn tbh.

I do not at all. I’m avoiding even Google Search results that go to Reddit. I have not used Reddit since June 12, other than to fully wipe all of my accounts on June 30. I’ve moved on and it’s been an easier transition than I thought it would be.

Literally just the HFY subreddit and looking for answers to questions about 3d printing etc.

I only go to reddit now if I look something up and get a link to it. I don’t go there to browse anymore.

Maybe 2 or 3 times a week. There's some support communities on there that I'm a part of and check in with on there.

But learning about Reddit's behaviour the last month or so has been something of an eye opener and for now I'm enjoying exploring here (and actually reading ebooks again) as an alternative

Yes. I even still use Sync for Reddit (patched by ReVanced Manager).

Yes, mostly for sharing content here.
