I’m out of there for good, but I take a look every once in awhile. That place still looks like it’s thriving. It’s unfortunate.

[–] Endorkend@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I check both Reddit and Kbin, have both of them open in pinned tabs.

But I spend a whole lot less time on Reddit than I used to.

And it's not like I now spend the less time I spend there on Kbin either, I'm just mostly beyond browsing it obsessively and do other crap instead.

Same with Twitter.

After I quit Twitter and moved to Mastodon, I do read my feed once or so a day, but compared to a year ago, I barely participate anymore.

I dropped it.

I will probably use it just for my nhl teams sub once the season starts up. But that's it.

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

I still use it via the limited 3rd party apps that are still available, but my usage has dropped by 90%.

Lemmy is mostly fine for news sharing and commenting, but my more niche subs aren't really built out enough here yet. I'm relatively hopeful that Lemmy will continue to grow, and the non-meme communities will grow with it.

JFC the meme communities are everywhere here. I block all that I find. Maybe that's how Reddit is now as well, but my subs had been curated and fine toned over a decade so I didn't see the content I wasn't interested in.

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

I did a few months back.

[–] theamigan@lemmy.dynatron.me 1 points 2 years ago

Me. I never directly browse to it. If I end up on a reddit post from a google search on desktop, meh, I'll click the link. No chance in hell on mobile.

[–] TheMadnessKing@lemdro.id 1 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure that not even 1% .

[–] Lolen10@lemmy.fmhy.net 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

I did mostly. But when I really need reddit for something, I use a libreddit instance I set up on my raspberry pi.

But my Reddit-Account still exists.

At this point, only on mobile, really tbh. Usability is... It's a time.

Reddit is PC only using the old site. But I've been using it much less now despite most of my usage was on PC already. I much prefer Lemmy on my PC and Summit on mobile now.

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I mostly moved. There's one sub I still frequent because of the community there. And often I find answers to tech questions there, and take part in those discussions.

I mostly dropped reddit for the fun bullshit I used to enjoy. But Lemmy hasn't replaced that fun. Lemmy is kinda self righteous and squeamish, obsessed with defederating and bitching about tankies. I need to find a new home.

[–] snowbell@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I did at first but I'm using Reddit again alongside this because Lemmy is kind of depressing/exhausting, and also doesn't have a lot of the content I want. Namely firearms and motorcycle stuff, along with lots of food related subs.

It is possible to estimate?

No. Everything from zero to everyone here may still use Reddit in parallel.
Personally, I use kbin exclusively now.

[–] VioletRing@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I'm on kbin exclusively now, with the exception of a couple weeks ago. I was looking for exceptional rock shops near where I was visiting. Wanted suggestions/reviews from the more geological geared, and specifically not metaphysical/crystal shops. Reddit was the best resource for my purpose.

That said, I believe the fediverse can become a similar resource. For the time being, there just isn't a large enough, or old enough library of information to draw from. Given time this should change, but for now Reddit still fills certain types of needs that other areas of the internet cannot.

Anyone who isn't stupid

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I go back every now and then to search the Cybertruck community for new posts, but that's about it.

[–] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 2 years ago

I still use reddit to vent frustrations about life in general. Anything serious/productive goes on Lemmy.

[–] ChiliChickenSandwich@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago

When Sync came out I moved to Lemmy. Using that familiar and customizable software made the switch super easy. Nowadays I primarly browse Lemmy but tend to check Reddit for official movie discussions and gaming issues/help, rarely use the web client to that though. RedReader for mobile.

[–] Ignacio@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago (8 children)

I deleted my Reddit account some months ago. But if I knew how much toxic is Lemmy becoming into, I wouldn't come here either. Because right now I can't tell the difference between Reddit and Lemmy, to be honest.

I did. At first week lemmy was kind of cool. All nerd and cool people. Then normies started to flood with their shitty political posts. So now it's like reddit just in smaller capacity.

Well I did, but the community in Lemmy is suffocatingly left leaning for me. So I had to go back to Reddit for fresh air. (Never have I thought I'd go back to Reddit because some other community is even more left, but here we are.)
