Reddit

I'm trying right now. Just signed up n got approved.

My reddit account got soft locked over a year ago making me re-evaluate my relation with social media. I never bothered to reset my password as i could still lurk where i was previously logged in. The app-ocalypse meant i would have needed to get it fixed so i moved to lemmy instead and never looked back.

I'm one, but Lemmy doesn't have it. Idk if it is the hot or top algorithm, the development of mature communities, or moderation of the communities, but Lemmy doesn't engage me like Reddit does. I moved on from reddit, but Lemmy is much less engaging.

Fuck em.

I left Reddit for good. Aside from the garbage spez pulled, I can’t use the site without Apollo.

I'm about 1% as active on Reddit as I used to be. I unsubbed from most of the subreddits I used to follow. I only stick around for a few communities that haven't moved to other platforms, but I make an effort to not comment or post nearly as often as before.

Crazy what happens when you kill the tool that 99% of my use of your platform was done through, huh, Spez?

It's a bit harder to estimate because it's global and no matter where you are goong to ask, you will ask a specific bubble but with enough time, money and people you can do that. In my case I would ask to make a University project out of it.

I use both but my Reddit usage is down. There are communities there that don’t have a replacement here yet

Instead of using Reddit's site, I opted to use Libdirect which redirects you to privacy respecting front-ends instead of Reddit's website. It's kinda handy once you figure out some instances, the downside is that some instances are down and you need to take the time pinging those instances if they are working.

Here's the current use-case for me: I'll type reddit.com/r/privacy on my browser but then the extension will find the working instance you set and will completely redirect you to https://l.opnxng.com/r/privacy.

The only problem for this one is that you can't really comment to those questionable takes on r/unpopularopinion lol

I left as soon as the news dropped, didn't wait for it to happen.

Fuck Reddit!!!

We need so someone that can count all the "I did" messages and use that as a crappy metric lol.

I did

I go back to Reddit (Adblock enabled) only to see new posts from my favorite lewd cosplayers because I'm too cheap for OnlyFans.

While I doubt it is possible to estimate how many left Reddit since the spez crap went down, the total growth of others like Lemmy, Mastadon and even Threads is probably the most indicative of that estimate.

I too left Reddit when RiF died, but we're still a drop in the bucket compared to the numbers that still frequent the platform.

I did

I use Lemmy to browse, and Reddit for search. E.g. If I want to checkout general online stuff people are discussing/sharing this is the place. If I want to look up frying pan recommendations I google "reddit le creuset"

I think that I am in some federated space connected to here from somewhere else. Or I don't know. But I quit socializing in that other place and socialize around here where I can see and communicate with yous peoples.

I did.

I think we can be reasonably accurate on how many people are using Lemmy/Kbin, but not on how many people are not using Reddit. Even how many people are actually using Reddit is less accurate as the data is locked away and estimated from other metrics.

If Reddit is going to IPO then accurate usage stats is the last thing it once, like any company it'll go for the most flattering numbers it can generate and push thatball the way.

I am read ~70% lemmy vs 30% reddit. In my opinion this is because community is important. And reddit-community still be a big and active 🤷🏻‍♂️

I did. 💀

Me!

Here. I quit after so many subs went dark and they started kicking mods out. I‘m a mod on reddit myself and thats the only reason I open the app every couple of days, just to check my queue.

Me, Sync for Lemmy. Sync was reddit for me. Now ita Lemmy for me.

I changed my reddit link to lemmy but kept the snoo symbol.

I don't really visit too much, I will sweep by a few times a week or so. Reddit I only go to when Google takes me there, which is often enough thst I had to install the official turd of an app.

But I do t have a user over there anymore, so I am not logged in.
