Be honest, do you still use reddit? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don't look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I'd go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I got my uBlock Origin ready to kill all the ads. That shitty website will not get a cent out of me.

What about you? Do you still use reddit?

Totally off reddit. I have seamlessly replaced one with the other.

Honestly yes, at first I really thought Lemmy could replace it but the content is just bad on Lemmy’s all. The platform is good, but when 60% of posts are shitty memes or shitpost it just kills it for me. I still browse Lemmy almost every day, but I really feel like we spoiled the momentum we had a few weeks ago.

Roughly a month on Lemmy now and the habitually visit of Reddit completely faded out. Lemmy replaced Reddit without any compromises for me. I'm also trying to establish a Bass-guitar related Community here, so there's a bigger investment for me to get things going here.

Nope, and I even stop searching for episode discussions on TV shows because most of it is on reddit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Yes, but I've realised that I go in less and less.

r/traa is gone, so there's not much keeping me there

[–] [email protected] -1 points 11 months ago

Only if a search sends me there and other links aren't giving me what I need

[–] [email protected] -3 points 11 months ago

Nope. No interest.

I had a web result that the result I was looking for was on Reddit. I guess that's technically using it, but I wasn't logged in and didn't touch anything. It still counts as a visitor though, and I'm disappointed in that.
