Reddit

I did. Way less content, but higher quality content.

I did so by Nielson ratings logic about 2400 of us?

I was mostly a lurker so my dropping it didn't have much impact other than deleting a decade old account. If there's niche knowledge or communities I might still look (if it comes up in search results) but the urge to do so voluntarily is gone.

I cut my Reddit usage by about 90%. I never intend to fully quit while it still offers things I can't get anywhere else.

Lemmy gives me the dose of random scrolling I want and Reddit gives me specific info I need

I was a heavy reddit user. Don't go there anymore. I'm done. There's just a moral line that was crossed, and that's that. Same with facebook. It's over. Now it's the constant fight to keep google at bay, but that's what it is.

I made the switch after the API.changes. i wasn't about to endure a bullshit interface. Also. It's been 10~ years of using reddit, as an adult looking to grow, it was time to find new and strange pastures. Lemmy may not be where we all end up, but its a journey and so far being an 'Internet forum surfer' from AOL 4.0 days. things have been a wild ride

I left when Apollo died. Never went back.

I have only been back a handful of times in the browser. Usually when information I need is only on reddit. From someone who used reddit for hours and hours a day I'm shocked how little I miss it. I'm glad it went down the toilet.

I haven't been back. I suspect that may be true for many regular users of Lemmy.

I still have my account on Reddit, but have not logged in since the API events.
Very happy to have found Lemmy, with great content and great people.

Same about going from Twitter to Mastodon.

I was using Reddit Is Fun on mobile and a heavily curated desktop feed and migrated here fully when RiF died.

When I've looked at Reddit on desktop, it feels like a shadow of it's former self in so far as some of the default subs are missing and others just seem filled with the same content reach time I've looked.

While the place won't die overnight, it will become more overrun with bots and karma farmers posting same content over and over.

I'm now spending 90% of my shit scrolling time here instead of Reddit (using Sync mainly) and I love it!

I had forgotten about reddit until I saw this post.

Not using it at all.

No Appolo, no reddit for me. I will still go to searches that link there.

I actually use both. Reddit to watch or partake in nonsensical angry at the internet posts and Lemmy for real discussion in a niche that I fancy.
Lemmy feels like Reddit did 10 years ago.

I did. RIF stopped working

I haven't been back since RIF died.

At least 6

Left after RiF went down. Stuck with Lemmy, mostly because my consumption of useless doomscrolling was in need of a reduction. Still here, even if lemmy does have a stark difference in user interaction compared to Reddit. This place is slightly less toxic overall, and I think that's worth something.

I left Reddit after 14 years. Was really sad to see what it had changed into over time.

I made the switch when RiF died. In all honesty I wish it wasn't necessary, because the niche communities here are a shadow of what Reddit had before the blackouts. And while Reddit had trolls just like Lemmy, it was big enough that you didn't have to share general spaces with them.

I still visit Reddit, but I stopped participating- I don't post, comment, or vote.

You might find your responses here a bit biased.

Well, theres only one way to find out. Ill start:

I did

I check Lemmy everyday before going to bed, only time I use reddit is when it comes up in web search results for my queries. I’ll use reddit again if they announce fair pricing for 3rd party apps as I miss my small communities there.

I left out of principle but there are a few communities I'll scan from time to time because they don't quite exist here and I don't have the energy to make it myself.

Now that sync works with lemmy, I pretty much forgot about reddit. I wish there were the same communities, but I figure it's just a matter of time.

I stopped using Reddit the moment sync for Reddit died, I occasionally end up in the website when I'm googling for a tech problem

I have to stop by there every now and then because I'm looking for something and the answer is on a reddit post.

But for daily chilling/posting I'm all for Lemmy.

I never came back after the protests. I don't understand the people who said "why should I care if I don't use 3rd party apps". After seeing reddit's true colors on full display, I didn't want anything more to do with that company.
