With the reddit API debacle far in the review, I’m wondering if any of you went back to the platform.
No
Only time there is because Google links to an answer there. Other than that, nope.
Same
I don’t log in or post there any more, but there are still a few occasional subreddits that don’t have analogs here that I’ll sporadically browse anonymously.
I still use it if searching for information on a search engine; like, doing a site search on Reddit for answers on certain things.
I don’t expect to be going back unless something blows up here. For most purposes, the Threadiverse has passed the traffic threshold I need to be engaged.
I use old for some of the technical subreddits like cisco, Fortinet, and sysadmin.
Yes but only on desktop, not mobile. I use lemmy from both.
Yes, but less than I did. Mostly to visit my local sub. The one one Lemmy is just me shouting into the void it seems…
Nah, abandoned it over a year ago
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 :)
When searching for info, yes. But just daily use and scrolling no
I use it for a couple of communities specifically for foreigners living in Japan as it’s a great source of info from people who’ve been here longer than I have or have dealt with situations I have not. It’s also useful for info on dealing with the obscenity that being an American citizen trying to invest for retirement while overseas brings (I can’t use the ISA here or other tax-advantaged things because the US government considers them all PFICs which removes any tax advantage and causes even more pain after that).
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.
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.
Thanks for the info neighbor, downloaded straight away.
Fuck Reddit
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.
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.
