I observed the blackout but Relay kept going for a few weeks. When Relay said they were going to a tier based subscription model, I gave it all up. Uninstalled that moment and haven't been back.
I miss the number of active communities but it's just going to take time.
No but my account is banned so it's pretty easy. I just spend way less time on the internet overall now.
I frequently go to the soccer subreddit in a browser because there's nothing like it out there, the speed with which people upload highlights, the match threads, the official announcements are all there if you care about high level soccer. It's the only thing I really couldn't replace
Just visit the specific subreddits with content that your after using bookmarks while you also use Lemmy. There's no sides to this stuff that you have to choose between.
I added some small/niche subs to my RSS reader. If something gets posted I'll take a look, but I'm not spending time browsing and getting sucked in anymore.
There is technical content on Reddit that is higher quality than stackoverflow and the rest of the internet has been enshittified. So I’ll still take Reddit search hits over most anything else.
This has always been the hardest part for me; the amount of technical information on Reddit is so valuable and trumps the rest of the Internet in it's esoteric specifics. It makes not looking through it's threads when I'm looking for specific information feel nigh impossible...
I think the main search engines redirect a lot of traffic to R. Not sure why, but its apparant.
I still browse reddit occasionally to watch videos like/r/crazyfuckingvideos or to read discussion on thr war /r/credibledefense or certain game subs like /r/chess or /r/slaythespire
I haven't made a comment or voted on anything since the API change though. All of the content I generate going forward will go exclusively to Fediverse.
No, but I still very occasionally check it but only every couple of days for the niche communities, but only because my reddit app of choice still works - but as soon as it stops I will not miss it.
Which app is that?
Relay for Reddit - but I am guessing the move to the paid subscription is due any day now.
Haven't been back
the only content im missing is from 1001albumsgenerator subreddit because that was already a pretty small subreddit and theres no way itll get to that size on here. so i check every few days to see whats on there
Nope. I actually post link instead of just waiting for people to post them.
Also, sorting by "new" helps a lot
When I finish watching a tv show, I go to the related sub to see best memes. Nobody can take that away from reddit.
I did reinstall Infinity a few times. But the limit on viewed posts is a good way to keep me away.
I went from being on reddit daily to not opening it for almost 2 or 3 weeks now. I haven't had an issue content wise, sure there is some decent informational on the site but, I find a lot of information on it to be outdated anyway
I agree 100%. I set up a home server after reddit fell, and unfortunately I've been having to use reddit to ask a lot of my questions. The communities for the stuff I need to ask here on Lemmy just don't exist, and on reddit they do, and you'll get responses pretty quickly.
For any kind of programming questions reddit has been far better than lemmy simply because it is significantly more populated.
