Sadly I still have to visit reddit for various things. Mostly just for niche questions I have for Google that are best answered on Reddit. Which is a lot.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I don't really want to think about it being that long, considering how quickly I up and left as soon as RiF was supposed to shut down. Not relying on Reddit for Google results is practically impossible for me.
✋ 15ish years. Left after Reddit confirmed they wouldn't be changing the policy
I lurked for a few years before making an acct. It was just over 11 when I deleted it.
Around 11 years here, still using Reddit but slowly making the transition to Lemmy. Has been a great experience so far, I hope more people migrate so we can have more active communities.
Not sure how long exactly, but probably more than 10 years. And I'm gone!
10 years here. Feels refreshing !
11 year old reddit account deleted, plus an anon alt for gaming stuff.
I had no interest in using reddit without Apollo anyway, but the way they treated Selig and the other devs was just mind blowing. The treatment of mods after I'd already deleted everything just made me more sure I'd made the right decision.
12 years here
I had a 13 and a half year old account and I haven't logged in since the blackout.
Pretty sure I was at 11 years. Not going back to check
What's got 2 thumbs and is this guy?
THIS GUY!
About 15 years here. Just couldn’t help it grow any bigger after what it became
Said it elsewhere sometime yesterday-- bout 13 years.
I think I had 10 years on reddit. I stopped goin after the API stuff. But I am still googling old reddit threads for tech support inquiries.
I joined Digg v3 back in the day and reddit along with it. When Digg changed their website I pretty much went all in on reddit.
Now here we are.
11 years last year I checked, quit digg for reddit, quit reddit for lemmy, still lots to learn here. It's good to be here.
I'm one. First found Reddit around 2011 iirc and yeah, the changes of the past 5-7 years took much of what brought me there in the first place away. The most recent API changes, killing the app that made me a daily user in the first place were just the cherry on top and what really crosses the line for me. Censor it all you want, hated that but what site isn't censored to the brim nowadays? But take away my favorite apps and basically extort the developer? Nah.
12 years here sounding off
16+ years. No intentions of going back. The Fediverse is cool, and I’m enjoying it.
10 years for me!
7 years here. Glad I left reddit for lemmy. I will never sign up for a centralized social media platform again, I've learned my lesson.
Fuck u/spez.
almost 11 years and over half a million karma.
13 years, here
I put in something like 11 years. It's kong enough to understand that platforms can and will die in 10+ years.
Just logged in at Reddit to confirm--12 years.
And my whole homepage there is filled with posts about sex. I don't log in there for weeks and it's gone way down hill.
Would have been 12 years this month, I haven’t deleted my account yet but I haven’t been back since end of June. While I do miss some of my old communities, I loved Apollo and Alien Blue before that and won’t go back. I posted pretty frequently and most always from mobile. I’m working on deleting the old account here soon.
8 years here, 90% left
Yeah, I'm a 10 yearer. Shame, I loved Rif.
8 years for me. Cut my usage down by around 95% I'd say. Only when I need something specific do I go back
Honestly I don't mind as much as I thought I'd do
10 years, 120k karma
The changes would have had no immediate affect on me, but it’s the mods that made the place useable. I just can’t see it working after alienating so many of the people wrangling content
However I also expected to be next on the chopping block. I prefer to use a web browser and the constant nag to use the app was getting irritating, and they seemed to be eating away at the old UI to push us to the fiasco that replaced it (it probably doesn’t help that I use Safari on iPad and their attempt to get fancy is less compatible)
12 years for me. Havent gotten back on since finding out about Lemmy. Reddit fonally becoming fully enshittified lead me to the fediverse, which actually gives me HOPE. I'm very happy to be here. I'm even happy to see the right wingers here, because if they de-federate from traditional social media they'll ALSO BE BETTER OFF and hopefully stop being activley manipulated for 20 minutes.
