Yup. Stuck to my guns for over a year, and Lemmy didnt grow like I thought it would. Started using Reddit more regularly again in September.
Now, I do still only use it in the browser, no app, so my usage of Lemmy still far surpasses Reddit.
But there are some communities that either never made the migration or faced active hostility, so, gotta go to Reddit to be a part of them π€·ββοΈ.
Not since the API debacle. It is sad to see that the user base could not organize enough to change Reddit. I bet the takeaway for Reddit was that they can do whatever and people will always come back.
I was thinking the same thing after reading the replies hence my edit: Spez was right.
I end up there sometimes but I don't seek it out anymore. I don't have the app on my phone.
I don't. I recently logged in just to see what i was missing. More than half my front page was ads, the next 30% was repost bots posting the generic questions for engagement. There were maybe 2-3 posts that were actual posts. I left.
Not really. Sometimes I'm there from search results but never logged in. Rif was reddit for me.
I download it every now and then. But usually I end up deleting it because of the sheer amount of propaganda and advertising. Like give me peopleβs ideas, not some idiot whoβs famous because he did X and Y.
I lurk in my cityβs subreddit. It briefly closed as part of the protests, but the Lemmy community that was created at the time is inactive.
I'm using both Boost apps, Boost for Reddit and Boost for Lemmy. This way, I can only differentiate the networks by their post quality.
Reddit is bad to mediocre, full of memes and karma farming
Lemmy has few posts, but feels closer to the user
i only use it when attempting to lure people to the 'verse from that terrible, bot-ridden cesspool
Occasionally I'll use Redreader to check in and see if there is anything worth looking at. But for most of my scrolling and all of my comments I end up back on here.
Subscribed to the RSS for the one very local niche sub that i haven't found a substitute for. Other than just incidental search results that take me there.
I use it for a couple of communities specifically for foreigners living in Japan as it's a great source of info from people who've been here longer than I have or have dealt with situations I have not. It's also useful for info on dealing with the obscenity that being an American citizen trying to invest for retirement while overseas brings (I can't use the ISA here or other tax-advantaged things because the US government considers them all PFICs which removes any tax advantage and causes even more pain after that).
I'll log in every once in a while to check my pins, and I'll read threads from web searches, but I don't at all scroll a feed or post. I never looked back after the blackout shutdown.
I go there to steal content for Lemmy, but rarely post unless its to bring attention to an important cause.
Not often. Mostly because the official app is so unbearably trash.
Using reddit on PC and lemmy on mobile since the reddit app sucks
