I unsubbed from all reddits that don't support the resistance except for a few small ones. And I go to lemmy for most things

I do not at all. Iβm avoiding even Google Search results that go to Reddit. I have not used Reddit since June 12, other than to fully wipe all of my accounts on June 30. Iβve moved on and itβs been an easier transition than I thought it would be.
I occasionally poke my head in to see if it's dead yet, but other than that no.
I've gone back and lurked a single sub a fee times that doesn't have an active user base here. Even the sub is slower now, than before the protests and app removals. The mobile site is cancer compared to RIF, which really helps to not go there.
Swapped in Memmy at the Apollo spot on my phoneβs home screen, and not looking back! Itβs been great so far.
Unfortunately there are a couple of very specific subs which have no equivalent on Lemmy and I have gone back for them once or twice. Iβm considering leaving those communities behind. Although it sucks to have to do so, ultimately it feels like the right thing to do.
NO
Literally just the HFY subreddit and looking for answers to questions about 3d printing etc.
I admit I wasn't intending to leave Reddit. Sure, I absolutely wasn't going to install the damn official app, but I browse Reddit way more on desktop that on my phone. But it turns out my time spent on Reddit absolutely tanked without me doing much. Lemmy turned out to be a better replacement for me than I expected, I could find a lot of interesting activity here unlike, say, Mastodon where I had to dig further.
That does not mean I left Reddit entirely lol, but I sure enter way less now.
I deleted my profile, but of course I still land there sometimes from Google results
Maybe 2 or 3 times a week. There's some support communities on there that I'm a part of and check in with on there.
But learning about Reddit's behaviour the last month or so has been something of an eye opener and for now I'm enjoying exploring here (and actually reading ebooks again) as an alternative
No
Lemmy got active enough after the API changes took effect that I have rarely been back.
I slowed down when the announcement was made about third party apps. I quit entirely when RIF turned off. Now I participate here, started my own community, contribute to others as much as I can, and finally figured out how to host my own instance. It's been fun seeing it grow slowly.
Yes, mostly for sharing content here.
Only here and there for one specific sub
Only the NSFW content, I got everything else here.
I haven't posted in years, but there is still so much content there. Now though without my favourite app (Joey) I probably will go there less. Even less when they disable old.reddit.com.
I made a private LibReddit instance so I can still get the news from specific communities that aren't elsewhere.
I've only touched Reddit when it comes up when I google something. Haven't used it for anything else for the past month or so.
I was pondering about a Mastodon/Kbin issue this morning and the first 10 google hits were on r/kbinmigration :[
Cold turkey. I trad an interesting crosspost back-and-forth about the new gold deprecation thing, but other than that, no. οΏΌ
The official app has bad performance and that's why I only browse on my pc. Usually that's once a week.
Occasionally. From my desktop. Not really from my phone anymore. I like lemmy well enough but there still isn't as much content especially for niche subjects.
only for 1 subreddit, 1001albumsgenerator. i have unfinished business there
I do, from desktop, mainly as force of habit.
my chosen mobile app, Relay, actually still works, but I am trying to train myself to use Lemmy more.
I just wish the content changed over faster, and there were more comments.
theres a couple communities stuck on there I still check on, but no longer casually browse.
I still use it for a couple of hobby related things although I could probably use discord for some of it.
Whilst I am using lemmy it's not quite hitting the spot so I use it less. I'm getting an awful lot more reading done.
I do because there are a lot of valuable infos, but I 'm deliberately not voting and commenting.
Yes, I will only switch when this link,
/c/knitting
Shows every post to /c/knitting on every instance, in chronological order. Without having to subscribe to every instance, without having to create multireddit equivalent.
Just give me lemmyverse's entire /c/knitting
Only to check /r/canadapublicservants and /r/urf, otherwise I'm avoiding it. Unfortunately it still is often one of the best sites in search results
I used to spend hours everyday there. Now I only visit for a few minutes a week to check up on a game.
But I'll never touch the official app and I'll never come back, even if they backtracked the API decision, because f u/spez
I still use it for dinner subs that moved over to lemmy, but couldn't grow much. Like 40klore.
Iβve done some Google searches and looked at Reddit results, and I view some choice subreddits on an RSS feed. But I have not logged in to Reddit since Apollo went down. Lemmy still seems to be getting better every day. While the content drought is still there I have taken to reading a book at night before bed instead. Iβm hoping that just becomes a long lasting habit in lieu of scrolling.
Yeah, there are a few subs that haven't made the transition.
I had a web result that the result I was looking for was on Reddit. I guess that's technically using it, but I wasn't logged in and didn't touch anything. It still counts as a visitor though, and I'm disappointed in that.
I still use Reddit, I didn't move here because I was pissed at apps going away (never used them anyway), just wanted to familiarize myself before I'll be forced to move when they inevitably remove old reddit in the future.
There's still communities important to me that either only exist on Reddit or have way too little engagement here. Until they remove old reddit or that changes, I'll stay on reddit. But I'm doing my part by having disabled ads on reddit (I had them enabled before the third party app stuff).
I donβt but if I have a question Iβll google and add site:reddit.com for sureβ¦
Only rss of gamedeals and buildapcsales. Those are functionally useful subs. Good deal alerts.
Have no interest in anything else like random discussions in hobbies or games or television or shows or sports which are stuff that are easy to quit. Even /r/Heat family I have left behind despite basically no activity here. Those are more entertainment and don't offer utility. That includes niche subs I enjoyed like gunpla or dedicated tv show or game subs. It just falls into category of entertainment that isn't so useful I need it.
I knew it essentially coming to a close when I didn't have Reddit Enhancement Suite installed anymore.
I still do, but not in the same capacity.
With the death of BaconReader I don't scroll as much, and just from looking at my front page, I imagine it's not only the summer doldrums that have thinned it out so much. It's just... harder to find good discussion there, and what I do find is often charged in some way, or very thin. So, I stick around for some of the communities that I'm more active in, but I'm also doing things on Lemmy, and a few other places. Honestly, idk that I'll ever full drop Reddit in the same way that I did, say, MySpace, mostly in that there's probably going to be some value somewhere on the site. But, it's certainly not my main source of idle scrolling or engagement anymore.
Also, yes, I know I can still make BR work, but at this point I'll just keep using Reddit in browser with uBlock Origin.
