Reddit

Does use include viewing it in search engine results? Or do you mean actively posting to it?

I do the former but not the latter.

I'm pretty much done with it. I do the occasional search for piracy content with a search engine but other than that I get my fill of internet surfing elsewhere.

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.

I did. I deleted my Reddit account on July 2. I was using Lemmy.world as my main since the middle of June, but lately I've been using this instance because of lemmy.world's constant issues.

I refuse to use the official Reddit app, and while Narwhal is fine and all, it seems like any third-party app's days are numbered, whether they pay up or not. And while spez said Old Reddit isn't going anywhere, he also said he wasn't going to copy Elon.

I didn't really drop Reddit, I just don't have the easy phone access I used to have so I visit it a lot less now and I don't like their app. I can use Lemmy right here on my phone and found an app that's very similar to BaconReader so I'm good for now.

I tried using reddit again twice since the exodus. it's just not the same.

Count me in. Removed my account after I had heard that admins are removing mods from the closed/nsfw subreddits. The content on Lemmy is not that diverse yet, I miss regional or nieche technical communities sometimes. But I hope things will get better eventually.

I've only gone back to Reddit when Google lead me there. Otherwise, I'm here.

Idk how you would get a clean estimate, however I can say that I no longer use Reddit

Not that meant of us obviously.

Enough that it has really helped Lemmy. Too few to materially impact Reddit.

Yeah, I stopped using Reddit completely and it has given me a lot of time back in my day. I enjoy Lemmy, but it is not as content rich - which is good because I don't stick around as much as I did on Reddit. It's just enough, should have kicked reddit years ago honestly

Five.

Me but reddit comes up in searches and I still have to go to it for things like local postings and gaming stuff

I did too

I set on Lemmy.zip during the blackout protest on Reddit, and haven't gone back to it. Don't miss it. Lemmy has grown a lot in the past few months. It's only a fraction of the Reddit userbase size, but steadily filling out and getting better.

Yep, and haven't missed it at all.

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.

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)

I guess you could look at how many users Lemmy added during the drama, most likely near 100% of those were Reddit refugee. I did switch when it became clear reddit overall was getting too shitty, too big & corporate.

I did.

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

I haven't loved back in since Sync for reddit stored working.

I dropped reddit but I do occasionally check for specific technical stuff anonymously sometimes.

Got suspended with no explanation from a heavily used professional sub...asked for an explanation and was banned/ suspended (2 different accounts) Appealed ban, ask for explanation...nothing, just more ban/suspensions. ....deleted 2 accounts, ridiculous.

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

I switched the day after Boost went dark. The only times I go on Reddit are when I Google something and a reddit link comes up. Lemme definitely isn't a 1:1, but I kinda like it more because the user base seems better quality. I've made more posts/comments in my few months on Lemmy than I did in my few years on Reddit.

I can't access reddit with infinity no more so I guess I'm here

I basically did. I stopped using mobile on July 31 since I was using boost and never looked back.

I wrote a case study on the API thing and spent a ton of time researching the different things going down on reddit and off throughout June and July so I used it on PC for that. Haven't really been back since.

+1

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.

I did. Barring search results.

I did, completely. I don't spend as much time on Lemmy as I used to on Reddit, but I net more enjoyment out of the experience.

Me too. I haven't used Reddit at all since RIF stopped working on 1st July.

Me

Most of the people on here probably did, or traded/split time between the two.
