I added some small/niche subs to my RSS reader. If something gets posted I'll take a look, but I'm not spending time browsing and getting sucked in anymore.
I still browse reddit occasionally to watch videos like/r/crazyfuckingvideos or to read discussion on thr war /r/credibledefense or certain game subs like /r/chess or /r/slaythespire
I haven't made a comment or voted on anything since the API change though. All of the content I generate going forward will go exclusively to Fediverse.

I'm not giving up Reddit purely because it's more fun, more diverse and better designed.
I used to use libreddit or teddit. But they are unviable now because of the amount of requests. So I sometimes try to check if there is something interesting about SSBM, which is the only subreddit that is not on lemmy which I'm kind of interested in, but I get the same error many of the times. But it doesn't really matter, if you ignore reddit's existence, you will feel no attachment to it.
Nah, My preference setting is "All, new" and there is some wild shit on here. Lots of international instances I would never get to see because of some "algorithm".
OP, make some more recommendations for communities you want to see. Ask instance admins for help grtting those communities to start being active. And crosspost them to "discovery" boards.
I am sorta having this issue - some boards I like don't wanna have deep discussions, and I do. I'm like, so lame, if you tell me to watch a show or read a book to come back and discuss, you're probably doing me a favor.
Nah
Yes. I also quit R after all the bs. There a hole in my internet heart and nothing to fill it with
Nope, checked out July first and never looked back.
I am about to go back to reddit because Lemmy users suck as human beings. I can't believe the user base that was here before Reddit users think they are somehow fucking better.
They think they are alternative to an average person somehow. Constant posts about how they are different but after seeing a post of them comparing trans protesting to the extremism of the KKK and seeing the comments be full of people talking about how they are "middle people" they "stay on the fence" and are "different" because they don't believe in being extremist. I think I am done with this fucking place.
What? You need more furry porn don't you......
Stop talking about it.
There no content on reddit, only ads. You shouldn't mention the platform outside the reddit sub, don't give them visibility
