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?

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.
I agree. I’m not getting nearly as much content over here, but I don’t miss it at all. I didn’t realize how much of my time on reddit was spent “hate-reading”. It has totally transformed the way I use the internet; I almost never commented on reddit.
Lemmy has been an absolute revelation for me. I was so lucky to find it early on and I want to share this experience so others can have the same happiness. Just waiting for the developers to iron things out first before I try to recruit my normie friends 😅
The Lemmy apps are fine, but I’ve been disappointed in the quality of Lemmy posts and discussion. It’s too many memes, not enough good quality thoughts, discussion, content, community. It’s unfortunate. Wanted this to be the place I die.
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.
Why are you using “All” use “Subscribed” for a much better experience.

Totally off reddit. I have seamlessly replaced one with the other.
Only when I search for something and there is a result from reddit, I read that and only that one. Otherwise, no.
Only when a search engine points me to a very obviously correct and well worded answer to a tech problem. I don’t log in.
Nope. If I can’t use Sync I won’t use Reddit.
That’s what it was for me. I used sync pretty much from the moment it came out. Thanks for all your work on it.
The reason I came to Lemmy is because you said you were moving the app here. I had initially planned on giving up this type of social media (the last one I use).
Long story short, thanks man!
You can still patch it with revanced manager.
But I only use sync to get better ui when researching things. Not to browse reddit.
@ljdawson@lemmy.world is the creator of Sync, I somehow doubt he would use revanced to patch his own app haha
reddit is a source of information. (fact).
but i logged out and will not be going back.Like a lot of people are saying, if reddit comes up in a search result, I’m clicking it. You know that’s your best shot at finding the answer you’re looking for.
But opening the app? Scrolling and socializing? I checked my comment history just now, and since joining Lemmy on July 1st, I have commented 5 reddit comments; 1 of them was a reply to someone replying to me. 4 of them were specifically about ActivityPub social networks.
In that same thirteen days, I left 33 comments on Lemmy.

My usage just plummeted off a cliff after creating a Lemmy account. Infinity for Reddit is still working at the moment but I don’t even have the app on my home screen anymore so I rarely open it.
Have I visted reddit, yes. Do I use it? No. I have grown to love lemmy. Disconnecting from a hyper charged, conterversy seeking website has done me good!
Got a couple niche subs I still check once in a while. Otherwise I don’t read reddit anymore nor do I comment and vote.
Nope, and I even stop searching for episode discussions on TV shows because most of it is on reddit.
