I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I got my uBlock Origin ready to kill all the ads. That shitty website will not get a cent out of me.

What about you? Do you still use reddit?

    Roughly a month on Lemmy now and the habitually visit of Reddit completely faded out. Lemmy replaced Reddit without any compromises for me. I’m also trying to establish a Bass-guitar related Community here, so there’s a bigger investment for me to get things going here.

      I feel the same way. It was weird breaking the habit of clicking the RiF app when I unlock my screen, but after a while the need just went away.

        I put Memmy where Apollo was and I didn’t even have to retrain myself

        I do find that I use the fediverse less, as my “front page” gets stale much quicker. But this is not only something I can probably fix, but also don’t mind because it reminds me how much I duck out into social media which helps me say “ah fuck it” and do something else.

          Exactly the same here. But I have a feeling the stream of content will come sooner then later too

        Unfortunately I’ve been reeled back to RIF because you can apply a patch now that allows you to login. It’s hard to resist the familiar look of that app.

      I agree. I’m not getting nearly as much content over here, but I don’t miss it at all. I didn’t realize how much of my time on reddit was spent “hate-reading”. It has totally transformed the way I use the internet; I almost never commented on reddit.

      Lemmy has been an absolute revelation for me. I was so lucky to find it early on and I want to share this experience so others can have the same happiness. Just waiting for the developers to iron things out first before I try to recruit my normie friends 😅

      I put the Memmy icon right where Apollo used to be so now Memmy is where I go. The main feed isn’t as plentiful yet but it’s growing…

        Same.

        I only check /r/ModCoord once every couple of days to check on the state of the dumpster fire.

      Same here, although, like once or twice a week when I remember that I used to go on reddit I go there to see what’s going on, but the habituall check is now always lemmy.

      Third week for me and haven’t visited for a few days now. Less and less as more content shows here.
