It took me probably less than a month to completely stop checking Digg altogether. Reddit’s decidedly less slick interface had me confused and the content wasn’t as easy to digest as with Digg, but it didn’t take long to completely abandon it. That was like ten years ago.
I guess a small point I’m trying to make is that you shouldn’t feel “shame” for checking reddit. You’ll adjust and learn to love whichever alternative you choose
I’m surprised by how often I search for technical questions on DDG/Google and find Reddit threads in the results. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that Reddit will remain an information source for some time.
Only until Reddit tries charging Google for API access.
