Since the API exodus, yes.
I made a very conscious choice to leave reddit at that time, due to that particular bullshit, and I don't regret it.
Doesn't mean I don't miss reddit though, because I do. Reddit has a lot more traffic which obviously means a lot more content in the sort of niche communities I really love.
But I made the right choice. I don't want to be part of that any longer. And the more of us make this choice, the better things will be for us all.
Pretty much the exact same for me
there are niche subs i miss, like drama of ytuber i used to follow(obscure ytubers, not the current grifters).
I still follow my niche interests via the lurk-only app Stealth. It allows you to kinda follow subreddits you want like multireddits you could create with RES but you can't login so you can't post. Feels like an okay-ish third party reddit app.
Good to know that app is still being worked on. I used it in the past until around 2024 but stopped because it haven't had any update.
Good to see there's a couple from 2023 in 2025 :p
