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.
Nah, abandoned it over a year ago
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 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.
I just deleted all my content but didn’t delete my account. Agreed though there is some useful information on there
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.
Thanks for the info neighbor, downloaded straight away.
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.
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.
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)_/¯
I don’t. I recently logged in just to see what i was missing. More than half my front page was ads, the next 30% was repost bots posting the generic questions for engagement. There were maybe 2-3 posts that were actual posts. I left.
