I've been slowly migrating over. I'm using relay so once that dies or goes paid I'll be here exclusively.

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

Recently discovered revanced could patch boost and I'm back on Reddit.

After a few months on just Lemmy, I found too much of the content was about Linux, foss, and how much the internet sucks now.

Fuck Reddit!!!

My Reddit account is there laying dormant, I've signed out and don't even look at the moderation queue.

I dropped reddit years ago. I'm currently on lemmy. So I didn't drop reddit for lemmy, but I did used to use reddit and am now a user here.

I've tried many of the alternatives but most of them were ended up pretty bad. Lemmy shows promise but is pretty reddit-y and I think over time it's basically going to become a big circle-jerk just like reddit. It's decent-ish for now though.

I don't know how you could track uninstalls outside of informal polls. I'd consider myself as having fully dropped Reddit for Lemmy, but on occasion I'll follow a link on Lemmy to the Reddit site.

Monthly active users gives a rough estimate but doesn't account for people registering on multiple servers and alt accounts (and of course we can't forget the occasional toxic spammer). But subtracting that from Reddit traffic barely puts a dent in it.

I think Reddit will stay a similar size or continue to grow a bit, but overall quality of it has been circling the drain for a while now. I don't think the IPO is going to help at all with that, only make it worse.

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

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

I did. Only connect to Reddit if I want to find something from saved items.

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 replaced it with a number of communities, but I still need to use reddit for NFL news. I'm a massive fan and that community is not going to make the jump

Only for the porn.

I'm here to stay. I was using Infinity to lurk Reddit, but I stopped using it when it went towards the subscription model.

I left and never looked back ever since.
