Reddit

I mostly have. However I do not spend anywhere near as much time on Lemmy as I did on reddit. When all the third party stuff started going down I really started to assess how I used the Internet and had to change things. I was using Sync for Reddit on Average 2.5 hours a day which is just insane. Over the course of a decade it was like a year of real time and was really eye opening how much time I was wasting.

Now I set an app timer for Sync for Lemmy for 1 hour a day I rarely hit it.

I do check reddit, but I do not have an app installed, it's mostly to check something specific rather than endlessly scroll.

I did.

There are some communities that never transitioned to Lemmy, so I'll be using them untill old.reddit is disabled.

Dropped fully, not yet. But I am smoothly porting over more and more of my usage to Lemmy.

Dropped it on mobile for lemmy but still use desktop.

I'm here to stay. I was using Infinity to lurk Reddit, but I stopped using it when it went towards the subscription model.

Here. I quit after so many subs went dark and they started kicking mods out. I‘m a mod on reddit myself and thats the only reason I open the app every couple of days, just to check my queue.

I did too.

I pop over to reddit maybe 1-2 times a day for a few subs. My daily driver is lemmy though.

top six hours page is very good

Other than occasional query leading to it at work - i haven't been there at all.

It was very easy for me, though. This is the same environment as the one Inhad found on Google+ when that launched - full of technical geeks. I like that so I stayed.

I still browse Reddit about as much as Lemmy, because many communities haven't taken off here yet.

i go through phases, around the blackout it was 100% lemmy, then like 25% lemmy, but lately i'm getting really fed up with reddit so it's like 90% lemmy

Recently discovered revanced could patch boost and I'm back on Reddit.

After a few months on just Lemmy, I found too much of the content was about Linux, foss, and how much the internet sucks now.

I've been slowly migrating over. I'm using relay so once that dies or goes paid I'll be here exclusively.

Yup

sour was here ._.

I Reddit exclusively on my desktop now, not on mobile where I did most of my browsing. I also pared back my usage to fewer communities.

I use Discuit primarily now, checking Lemmy (Beehaw mostly) very occasionally.

This is actually an interesting question. First thing to note is that any estimation is by accounts, not by actual people (one person can have multiple alts on both). Honestly I don’t think it’s possible to have meaningful estimation.

That said, I think the first task is to figure out if we can estimate the number of accounts deleted on Reddit during the controversial period (let’s say April when the API change was starting) up til now.

I’m not aware whether there’s public daily data on it from Reddit, but there have been attempts at archiving reddit during this time and of course before. So one can theoretically use the archives to find out “all” existing users. And check the links now via browser (or curl) to see if they still exist, treat that as a good-enough proxy for deleted account.

One may get an estimate of when they were deleted by checking the links in the archives if possible. If not, there’s also Wayback machine that we may use to get a sense, but there are limitations of that.

Lemmy tracks account registration daily, I believe. I don’t know what stats one needs to run but maybe if we can line up the time series of account creation on Lemmy and account deletion on Reddit, we might have some sense of what a lower bound is for those who jumped ship forever.

I didn't. However, I read Lemmy until I run out of interesting posts, then switch to reddit until the ads make me angry. Then I do something productive.
