I still go back to reddit for specialized subs which don't have equivalents here, but that's only in my work desktop.
I also delete my replies after a few days
All my mobile browsing is done on sync and I'm here 75% of the time

There are dozens of us.
In all seriousness, I do occasionally visit select subreddits even though I no longer have an account. I'd like to think leaving reddit has changed my internet browsing habits in a good way.
I switched and in the end that's all that matters, you're welcome everyone
I haven't loved back in since Sync for reddit stored working.
I've only gone back to Reddit when Google lead me there. Otherwise, I'm here.
I did. I deleted my Reddit account on July 2. I was using Lemmy.world as my main since the middle of June, but lately I've been using this instance because of lemmy.world's constant issues.
I refuse to use the official Reddit app, and while Narwhal is fine and all, it seems like any third-party app's days are numbered, whether they pay up or not. And while spez said Old Reddit isn't going anywhere, he also said he wasn't going to copy Elon.
I left. I check reddit maybe once every 2 weeks for one single subreddit, for medical reasons. It's still the best source of information for me in this particular situation.
Sometimes I miss the constant feed of fresh posts but then I remember that I really don't need that. I'm still up to date on pretty much everything I need with Lemmy and I'm not constantly doomscrolling like I was on reddit.
I'm pretty much done with it. I do the occasional search for piracy content with a search engine but other than that I get my fill of internet surfing elsewhere.
Does use include viewing it in search engine results? Or do you mean actively posting to it?
I do the former but not the latter.
Most of the people on here probably did, or traded/split time between the two.
I dropped reddit but I do occasionally check for specific technical stuff anonymously sometimes.
Idk how you would get a clean estimate, however I can say that I no longer use Reddit
I didn't really drop Reddit, I just don't have the easy phone access I used to have so I visit it a lot less now and I don't like their app. I can use Lemmy right here on my phone and found an app that's very similar to BaconReader so I'm good for now.
Yep, and haven't missed it at all.
I set on Lemmy.zip during the blackout protest on Reddit, and haven't gone back to it. Don't miss it. Lemmy has grown a lot in the past few months. It's only a fraction of the Reddit userbase size, but steadily filling out and getting better.
me, although my hand was slightly forced with a permaban at the same time. I don't regret it at all, although I do miss some of the niche communities that aren't really taking off here (yet)
Me but reddit comes up in searches and I still have to go to it for things like local postings and gaming stuff
I did.
I guess you could look at how many users Lemmy added during the drama, most likely near 100% of those were Reddit refugee. I did switch when it became clear reddit overall was getting too shitty, too big & corporate.
I use both Reddit and Lemmy now. I used to use RiF on mobile but now Reddit for me is pc only. Liftoff for Lemmy has taken over that spot on my phone now. The main reason I haven't been able to completely switch is just the lack of some of my favourite sub Reddits switching over to Lemmy. The Lemmy communities exist but they're lacking numbers.
Yeah, I stopped using Reddit completely and it has given me a lot of time back in my day. I enjoy Lemmy, but it is not as content rich - which is good because I don't stick around as much as I did on Reddit. It's just enough, should have kicked reddit years ago honestly
Got suspended with no explanation from a heavily used professional sub...asked for an explanation and was banned/ suspended (2 different accounts) Appealed ban, ask for explanation...nothing, just more ban/suspensions. ....deleted 2 accounts, ridiculous.
Yep. Deleted my account and all previous comment and post history. Haven't gone back.
I did for Lemmy + Tildes + a bit of Hackernews.
I use lemmy on my phone, but for the rare occasions I am at my PC I still use reddit, because there are active communities there that don't exist here unfortunately.
Me
I did too
I tried using reddit again twice since the exodus. it's just not the same.
I switched the day after Boost went dark. The only times I go on Reddit are when I Google something and a reddit link comes up. Lemme definitely isn't a 1:1, but I kinda like it more because the user base seems better quality. I've made more posts/comments in my few months on Lemmy than I did in my few years on Reddit.
I did. Barring search results.
Me too. I haven't used Reddit at all since RIF stopped working on 1st July.
Another ex-Apollo user here. The only thing I miss is the Stable Diffusion subreddit. If everyone there would come here, Lemmy would be perfect
I basically did. I stopped using mobile on July 31 since I was using boost and never looked back.
I wrote a case study on the API thing and spent a ton of time researching the different things going down on reddit and off throughout June and July so I used it on PC for that. Haven't really been back since.
