Reddit

There are dozens of us.

In all seriousness, I do occasionally visit select subreddits even though I no longer have an account. I'd like to think leaving reddit has changed my internet browsing habits in a good way.

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

Never posted on reddit, most communities seemed hostile and unwilling to hear different perspectives. People here seem a lot more reasonable.

You can make a few educated guesses based on the jump in lemme users at the time the protest happened.

I still look at Reddit occasionally. But I my usage is like a tenth what it was.

It's all the New users on Lemmy since June 2023

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

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.

left reddit for good w/ a 50k sub I modded for over a decade. the best thing since: when modcodeofconduct tried to recruit replacements from the userbase, the users ignored them. the new mods are some randos, the subs are full of spam and garbage.

Great works Spez you fucking dolt.

I did so that's at least one.

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!

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 still go back to reddit for specialized subs which don't have equivalents here, but that's only in my work desktop.

I also delete my replies after a few days

All my mobile browsing is done on sync and I'm here 75% of the time

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

Without RiF, there is no Reddit for me.

Yep, and haven't missed it at all.

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

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 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.

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

I'm here. I miss some of the smaller communities I used to be apart of. I go back if someone sends me a link, unless it's NSFW. I don't have the app, so I just tell people I can't see that link anymore. shrug

Me

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

I did too

Not that meant of us obviously.

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

I was a lurker there and I actually participate here. I still go there for videos in specific communities, but I no longer scroll ALL.

I didn't have a choice. I was the victim of a sitewide ban from an overzealous mod...

I did.

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. signed out of all Reddit accounts once on my PC and uninstalled Apollo when it was on life support once Spez started outwardly idolizing Elon Musk. Fuck that shit I’m out

Now I only use Reddit wherever I need tech support and google has something for me that I need. I also installed Reddit to redirect extension to the wayback machine it I go there

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.
