With the reddit API debacle far in the review, I’m wondering if any of you went back to the platform.
You must log in or register to comment.
I deleted my account, but still use it for information on occasion. I use a front end for it when I do.
Same here. Reddit is purely an addition I put in Google now. I come to Lemmy for all my socializing. I have come to enjoy you weirdos, and thanks for accepting another weirdo :)
I want Lemmy to be a viable alternative and do use it. But, the lack of niche communities makes it harder. I do go back to Reddit from time to time for that fix and to keep up with a few things.
When searching for info, yes. But just daily use and scrolling no
Exactly.
I didn’t delete my account, but I’ve never logged back in after they killed 3rd party apps last year and don’t visit unless it’s a direct result from a search.
Same, but I did delete my account.
Still will read results anonymously via a search tho.
Only when a contact sends me a Reddit link, which I open through Geddit as to not give them any ad revenue, and I do not comment or vote at all.
I don’t actively search for stuff fhere either.
I end up there sometimes but I don’t seek it out anymore. I don’t have the app on my phone.
Fuck Reddit
There are a few communities on there which I still check, but I spend a significantly less amount of time on Reddit than I used to. I also refuse to post anything or interact on that site anymore.
Subscribed to the RSS for the one very local niche sub that i haven’t found a substitute for. Other than just incidental search results that take me there.
Not really. I left in support of the mod strike/blackout and I stayed away because of Spez’ total bullshit WRT the API.
Sometimes Reddit is still the best place to get or find an answer. As long as old.reddit.com remains functional, I will go and participate while engaging with a question I post.
I was a pretty big contributor before, too. Not like recognizable username big, but big enough to get an IPO invite ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not really. I’ve stopped by a few times because I was looking for specific information and that’s where it was to be found, but other than that, I went from checking in dozens of times a day to quitting could turkey.
Like many others on here, only to search for some specific information. And never logged in to an account anymore.
I miss sports game threads. The Lemmy communities are just not taking off enough for me. I am tempted to open up a reddit account for talking shit in game threads only.
Do it, enjoy your life, don’t feel bad.
No. They ban VPNs, so if I happen to follow a link that leads there, I get the “login to see this” page, shrug, and go somewhere else.
It’s easy to circumvent, but rarely worth the effort. The content was getting mostly shit-worthless even before I left. It’s only gotten worse.
There’s not useful, factual information on 4chan, these days.
Same. Same reason. Same thing.
I will admit that I’ve gone to reddit on a VPN with no sign in to look at 🎶porn-o-graphy🎶!
I think if you have an account you can still use a VPN.
Nope.
Nope, Spez or one of his admin goonies fixed that for me.
Perma-banned, for stating facts about Elon Musk and his Boring Company’s ‘Not A Flamethrower’
Obligatory FUCK SPEZ
Spez and his admin goonies*
Inclusive AND 😂
Occasionally I’ll use Redreader to check in and see if there is anything worth looking at. But for most of my scrolling and all of my comments I end up back on here.
