I basically only use my phone these days and when third party apps died so did Reddit to me.

My daily reddit use has dropped by an order of magnitude. Now I just subscribe to a few subreddit RSS feeds that I skim through once a day, and that's pretty much it. If I really feel compelled to post something, I'll begrudgingly grab my laptop and head to old.reddit ... we'll see how long that lasts.
I do, but I'm trying to quit
Haven't been there since the blackout, don't miss it. I've always gone there with desktop browser running uBO so I never did see adds there except for inline stuff once in a while. That's one nice thing about Lemmy, looks exactly the same whether the blocker is on or off.
Nope deleted my account 2 days ago
Occasionally I use reddit to find answers to questions about topics that aren't really available on lemmy
Nah. Iβm more casual, and didnβt even need it for specific information. I havenβt been back in weeks. Plus, I really like the more civil environment Iβve found on the instances Iβve joined. Additionally, the users are actually listened to, and the mods/devs are genuinely trying to create a better experience. Itβs something I want to be a part of, rather than the dumpster fire of greed, anger, and manipulation that is reddit.
Nope. Deleted my account as soon as I heard about the API pricing and never looked back. As far as I was and still am concerned, even if they backtracked the API bullshit the writing is on the wall: reddit no longer cares about providing value to users, if they ever did. They're no in the endgame of enshittification of trying to extract value from anywhere they can, quality of service be damned.
Boost was the only thing that made it tolerable, I couldn't use the official reddit app even if I wanted to
I go to check specific subreddits but I'm no longer a daily user
I still use it. The HFY community is still on Reddit and I enjoy reading the stories.
The API changes haven't really affected my experience since I always browsed Reddit on my desktop through the browser.
Nope, and I used to do a lot of Reddit - like several times a day, and usually entire evenings just browsing. I used PowerDeleteSuite and deleted my account, and I use an RSS reader with an adblocker for the 2-3 local subs I truly canβt find the same info for elsewhere. One is a university I teach at, and the only exception Iβve made to this was to create a throwaway to answer a question about salaries and point the person who was hoping to teach to our union contract. Worker solidarity > Reddit drama.
Just to check some niche subreddits. Browser only, no sign in. And once I find what I need on the lemmyverse I'm all done.
managed to shift my idle browsing here. though i was kind of weening off reddit slowly over the past years. with lemmy exploding it has brought back some of that feeling of exploring and looking for communities i was missing on reddit haha
sadly nebula.tv sends you to reddit for comments on their exclusives, that is one holdover that is also unlikely to go away...
Yes, I'm using Lemmy on my phone but on my lunch at work and stuff on my computer it's Reddit still. I am evangelizing Lemmy though.
Absolutely not. I have not logged in once since the day the protest started.
I really used reddit to lurk and scroll when I was bored. If I can't use the app I'm used to, there is no reason for me to return. Especially with the way they have been treating the community, I havent been back for about 3 weeks. I downloaded a lemmy app and put that in the same spot as rif was, and I havent looked back.
The RIF app was reddit to me. I would typically spend over an hour per day on it.
I do still check Reddit maybe once a day on my desktop, maybe for about 5 minutes. There are still a few communities on there which don't have an active alternative here on Lemmy. However, I have deleted all my old posts and comments, and I do not make any new ones.
Redreader is still working.
Nope, nothing proprietary on my watch.
Id say 80% Lemmy 20% Reddit now.
I've visited a couple of times. My preferred app (relay) is still working, but I'm guessing I'll jump ship completely once relay is affected, Lemmy has mostly replaced my Reddit habits anyway.
Yeah, but with RedReader. There's a few niche subs I like that aren't well-established here yet.
Sometimes for fixes and stuff but not much anyomore
I do, but only to support FOSS users in some communities that are not here [yet]. There is no opnsense community here in Lemmy, so when I see questions there in reddit, I help where I can.
However, my "bio" or whatever it is called in reddit, clearly states that I have moved to Lemmy permanently.
I am actually considering creating a opnsense community here and hoping that Franco will come and join, and take over ownership.
I completely switched to lemmy for my random scrolling. But the main community for a game is still there so sometimes I keep lurking that subreddit only (exclusively from pc)
I open the app out of muscle memory a few times a day, infinity still works somehow, but most of my subs have been closed/dead now anyway so not really.
No. I went cold turkey in mid-June. I logged back in last week to use Power Delete Suite to automatically edit every post and comment I ever made to this and then deleted my account.
I'll still use Reddit read-only and with cookies blocked if I stumble upon (ahahaha) it through a search or something.
Since I started using Lemmy, not much. I am mostly on here now.
I use it for two things: checking out protest stuff and checking the only subreddit (it's a small one) that's actually keeping me on Reddit.
Nope. Having finally hammered down the local vernacular ("instances"/"communities") of Lemmy, I am so at home here. I miss RiF, but Liftoff is serving me well
I haven't been back on Reddit since shortly before July 1. I enjoy the vibe here right and the novelty of something new hasn't worn off yet.
Some subreddits I was more into like Destiny 2's and Diablo 4 don't seem as busy here so I have a feeling I may need to lurk over there still from time to time.
No
Same here. I'm not actively browsing or looking for information from Reddit, but if it's unavoidable, then so be it. I can't ignore the wealth of information still there.
Maybe once a week? To check on some specific subs, but I revert back to my old lurker ways when Iβm there and never contribute.
No. I've completely switched to lemmy and couldn't be happier. I'm actually surprised by how much I don't miss reddit, I thought it would be tougher to break out
I deleted my 9 year old account once Bacon Reader stopped working for me.
