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.

    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.

    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.

    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 reddit usage is 99% on Boost for reddit and 1% on web. Since Boost doesn’t work right anymore. I don’t use it 99% anymore.

    Yes, because Lemmy is still at that early phase of its existence where half of the posts complain about reddit, Threads, Twitter, etc, and that’s just not something I’m interested in. Waiting for it all to die down a little.

    If I do a Google search and a Reddit thread comes up with relevant info or discussion, I’ll check it out but I have completely stopped browsing and interacting with it.

    I want to stop using Reddit, but every Google search I make that’s tech-related has an answer on either StackOverflow or Reddit. Even if most people move to Lemmy, Reddit would probably come up once in a while when I’m looking for answers to a problem only a few people would care about.

    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.
