It’s the only reason I’m here checking out how this works.

I used the mobile app for reddit while falling asleep and that was 99% of my interaction with the site unless it popped up from a google search while on the PC. I'll still use it for that probably, but no way I am using that dumpster fire of an app. Mobile use died with apollo for me

I deleted my 11 year old account today, don't want to be a part of that community anymore.

Not long made the switch and so far I'm liking it. Subscribing to remote communities is more complicated than I think it needs to be but, meh, you only do it once. Fingers crossed it keeps growing, Reddit was fun for a good while but it's been heading downhill fast recently.

I used Now for Reddit for years. Was a great app. Somehow it's still working. Must not be big enough for Reddit to kill.

If I didn't have a subreddit to moderate, I would walk away now that I can't use apollo.

Reddit directly inspired the creation of the instance I'm on with that shitshow.

I’m certainly walking away for the most part, hopefully lemmy can become my daily scroller. That said though, I’ll definitely get on reddit again at some point. Its just too useful of a resource to never touch again. If I need some question answered and only reddit has it, I’m not gonna pass on it just to make a point that primarily hurts me. Other than that though, my primary reddit usage died with Apollo
