Reddit

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 did! I only end up back there if I'm searching for something like a tech problem and reddit is the only place my particular issue was discussed.

Yep and I haven't missed it.

Count me in.

I did. Add 1 to your count.

The only thing I go on Reddit for now at the moment is to browse their comic sub once every now and then.

But that's not completely dropping Reddit. Because Lemmy/Kbin is still in its early stages there'll be a lot of people who spend most of their time here but occasionally go to Reddit for that one sub or for some particular thing that's not quite made it here yet.

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

I did not dropped reddit completely, occasionally going in there through google searches but ever since the api fiasco I've never visited the site directly. I still haven't deleted my account but didn't used it since then and is planning to delete it. Lemmy does not have a lot of content and the niche communities compared to reddit. That is not a bad thing though and instead it had stopped me from mindless scrolling I picked up from using reddit.

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

Me too

I quitted Reddit and still don't reget my decision.

I am still lurking at reddit from time to time. But my account got permanently suspended because mods over there are wankers. So... sort of.

I have.

I still use both, I'll pop on Lemmy at the start and end of a day to see what is going on, but still use Reddit just because it has so much more content. Plus it's the "home" of several manga communities I can't find anywhere else except Discord, and I'm not a fan of Discord anymore due to the Skype-esque bloat. I did however delete all my comments and relegate my account to purely lurking status, nor do I upvote or downvote anything on Reddit as well.

Me! Admittedly I still do use Reddit occasionally for particularity niche subreddits but I do enjoy Lemmy a lot more!

+1 here

Fuck em.

Found out about lemmy through r/place, I was with a group allied with the join lemmy group. The group was encouraged to join lemmy.

Does it count people banned from Reddit?

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.
