Less than I thought would to be honest...

I actually caved in and remade a reddit acccount, yeah i feel dirty about it but i really mised the most niche comunities, specially the monster hunter one since the one thats here is more inactive than active. Though interactions are pretty terrible since the first coments i posted got downvoted and now im on negative karma and anytime i try to comment after that i get ignored. I think that account was shadowbanned so ill probably delete it and make a new one, but is not that important since i like to lurk more than interact with reddit since the discourse there is becoming more 4chany but without the with and censored af.

I will also mention that i made second one strictly for nsfw browsing on reddit, since the nsfw comunities on lemmi are surprisingly prudish on certain fetishes. Now im not into the most extreme shit but i really dont like that they dont allow certain stuff thats perfectly legal on the normal nsfw instances, like CNC is just a form of roleplay, why is it banned? But trans and femboy shit isnt with their whole penis chastity cages, they have plentyfull suply of that. Im not into neither of those fetishes and i dont kinkshame the lgbtq shit, but the only option to see shit thats not allowed (like cnc) would be to go to the extreme nsfw instances that thend to host legaly dubius shit like straight up real rapes and other stuff of the same variety that i rather not mention, and nobody whants to see that nor be exposed to it, so i rather go to reddit for porn, at least they dont kinkshame and i wouldnt be in danger of being put on a watch list.

While I'm still in the process of closing down my Reddit account due to having a lot of useful saved posts. A big thing that has helped my switch is the my favorite Reddit client infinity got forked( or repurposed by the dev. I'm not sure which) into a Lemmy version called eternity, so the move in terms of app familiarity has been almost seamless. I do find quality posts and content in general is on a much smaller scale on here, but that has actually been a good thing for me as I now spend a lot less time on social media.

For years I have rallied against the dark forces working to consume Reddit's glorious mission statment but the minor inconvenience of a subpar app was just too much!

Reddit is such a shitshow now, I'm considering keeping my old account only to add fuel to the fire by insulting idiots. Let's burn the whole thing to the ground.

I check into Reddit once in a while, but I mostly hang out here now.

I only use it once a week on a specific niche subreddit that hasn't migrated elsewhere. I may very occasionally browse a post or two if I'm bored, but I don't comment on or upvote anything outside that one niche subreddit. So I haven't 100% stopped using it, but my usage has dropped by a lot.

I have not fully dropped lemmy but I still use it to check out the latest (tech and tech related) news. Lemmy is good at that aspect these days.

Wait, Lemmy? Or Reddit? 🤔

I did. No apps on my phone anymore, and any time I have to visit the site I block Google from automatically signing me in. So I've used the site but not as an active user.

Still waiting for good search engine discoverability for Lemmy. Seems like Reddit is set up for that but not Lemmy. If that would work, I'd dropped Reddit altogether and start prioritizing Lemmy.

[–] Steak@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Not 100% but like 95. Still go to Reddit for a couple niche subs

[–] RunawayFixer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I visit Lemmy with sync on my phone and tablet. On pc I still visit reddit. I actually haven't visited anything of Lemmy on pc yet.

The content of Lemmy does feel lacking compared to what reddit used to offer me. And so does the content on reddit actually (feel lacking compared to what reddit used to offer me when I visited it with sync for reddit).

The home tab when logged into the reddit app is just weird, so many subs that I have no interest in seeing are being shown, while subs that I'm actually a member off are shoved down the list. The worst offender for me, was that reddit had decided for me that I should be interested in my countries' fascist sub, just because I'm a member of the pluralist main sub. When I was using the reddit app for a few weeks, I would see racist dog whistle posts daily. So now I don't login into reddit anymore, I just browse it anonymous now.

I left before apollo died so i had time to properly ween myself to a new platform and see what i like. Sure i still have the reddit app but it’s not signed in and only there so the website doesnt pester me to login when i just wanted a question answered

[–] Frawley@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Both. I use the connect app to browse lemmy while on my phone and when I'm on my computer I go on Reddit with ad blocker.
