Dropped it and haven't looked back.

Stopped using Reddit when Infinity died

[–] Magnus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

I did so that's at least one.

[–] generic@iusearchlinux.fyi 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I kept Infinity installed until it finally stopped working. In the last few weeks, there was basically nothing good on Reddit anyway so I'm ok with dropping it.

I'm hoping more people come to Lemmy and we get lots of content here!

I did. signed out of all Reddit accounts once on my PC and uninstalled Apollo when it was on life support once Spez started outwardly idolizing Elon Musk. Fuck that shit I’m out

Now I only use Reddit wherever I need tech support and google has something for me that I need. I also installed Reddit to redirect extension to the wayback machine it I go there

[–] regbin_@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I'm still using both. Lemmy is my main but for communities that are non-existent on Lemmy, I revert to Reddit.

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

Too many and, yet, not enough.

I've almost entirely dropped reddit for Lemmy. I still go back to reddit for tech support and some niche communities that haven't made the jump yet. But I'd guess that my reddit usage is down 90% YOY.

You can't actually leave Reddit. That's like leading the city to go to the desert. The people are still in the city. No matter how many blackjack and hookers you bring to the desert.

[–] Blastasaurus@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I quit when Joey for Reddit finally got taken down.

Honestly, the people here seem kinder and more intelligent, even if I don't agree with what they're saying.

[–] Cat@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

I dropped it for the Fediverse. I decided to use kbin after trying Lemmy for a bit.

[–] xill47@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I am switching between Sync for Lemmy and ReVanced clients for Reddit, generally since Lemmy doesn't have enough content that is interesting for me (ff14 community is basically dead on Lemmy, random maghjong riichi content is not there on Lemmy, world/news is basically the same as my meduza feed instead of random "what's around the globe", specific/non-general memes are not there, discussions are not active).
I hope it improves with time. I much prefer the notion of ActivityPub than that of centralized SM, but I guess the only real way forward is to force content gatekeepers to implement open apis...

Without RiF, there is no Reddit for me.

[–] antony@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

I dropped Reddit, but I'm still not 100% into Lemmy. To put it another way: Reddit was a pinned tab, as is Mastodon, webmail, Qobuz, and a whole bunch of other essentials. Lemmy is unpinned and gets looked at briefly every 2-3 days.

I've looked at the site but I don't contribute anymore. I've made a few comments telling people to look at another site for answers to their technical questions. Dropping seeds that will branch away from reddit.

The popular sort for Canada increasingly resembles voat. When it was becoming overrun by the far right dog whistles. The signature right wing botted subreddits seem to be a mainstay on the top sorts. That says a lot about how it's going.

I still read Reddit sometimes, but I don't have an account anymore. It's like reading Facebook posts now. Really, really low quality content. It's sad, but I like the community here. Lemmy is more like what Reddit was 15ish years ago.

[–] Markimus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I still use it occasionally for some things, though I’ve noticed a steep quality drop on Reddit. I spend much more time on Lemmy.

Lemmy > Discovery, Reddit > Specific Subs that haven’t yet migrated.

[–] Washburn@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The last sub I used a bunch was r/traa. I really had no reason to go back to Reddit once it shut down.

Now we have c/traa on Hexbear meow-bounce

lemmy publishes activate user data, im pretty sure most or all came from reddit, but no way to know how many still active there

[–] Wardacus16@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I use both Reddit and Lemmy now. I used to use RiF on mobile but now Reddit for me is pc only. Liftoff for Lemmy has taken over that spot on my phone now. The main reason I haven't been able to completely switch is just the lack of some of my favourite sub Reddits switching over to Lemmy. The Lemmy communities exist but they're lacking numbers.

[–] jcit878@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

me, although my hand was slightly forced with a permaban at the same time. I don't regret it at all, although I do miss some of the niche communities that aren't really taking off here (yet)

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 4 points 2 years ago

Maybe make a poll?

[–] Nottalottapies@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago

Yep. Deleted my account and all previous comment and post history. Haven't gone back.

[–] barnsbauer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

There are dozens of us.

In all seriousness, I do occasionally visit select subreddits even though I no longer have an account. I'd like to think leaving reddit has changed my internet browsing habits in a good way.

[–] void_in_the_egg@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago
[–] Betch@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I left. I check reddit maybe once every 2 weeks for one single subreddit, for medical reasons. It's still the best source of information for me in this particular situation.

Sometimes I miss the constant feed of fresh posts but then I remember that I really don't need that. I'm still up to date on pretty much everything I need with Lemmy and I'm not constantly doomscrolling like I was on reddit.

[–] Goodtoknow@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

I did for Lemmy + Tildes + a bit of Hackernews.

[–] ChamrsDeluxe@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I use lemmy on my phone, but for the rare occasions I am at my PC I still use reddit, because there are active communities there that don't exist here unfortunately.

[–] BilboBallbins@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Never posted on reddit, most communities seemed hostile and unwilling to hear different perspectives. People here seem a lot more reasonable.
