Are you 100% lemmy/mbin/piefed for your forum/thread life or are you still using reddit for something?
There is occasionally a comment that turns up in the search engines that is absolutely project-saving. Lemmy is not at that point yet.
Only Corn
Close to nothing, at this point. Sometimes I search for answers to technical questions and find them on Reddit, but that’s about it.
I don’t use it at all directly, but occasionally an answer generated on Reddit will pop up on a search I’m doing on a different site
I read the local sub but no posting. There’s also one or two nsfw subs i still check for updates but also no posting
I’m afraid I’m still on reddit quite a bit. Most communities have a lot more activity there. Rust, nixos, luthiery, local and state level subreddits. r/fiddle, and other instrument subreddits have more activity.
That said theres a lot of chaff that I wouldn’t miss. r/sysadmins is all removed about corporate work, r/machinists the same but blue collar. r/hiking is all shoe posts and gear. Political subreddits have lots of activity but its 90% rage farming.
Technical communities are strong on lemmy, despite their smaller size. And its refreshing to read the super far left diatribes, I don’t get that stuff elsewhere.
Reddit is just completely impossible to use these days. Even just trying to find answers to stuff in there you just get “you’ve been blocked by network security” 90% of the time. Shit’s dead to me.
Gotta love how the mascot accompanying that error message is the spitting image of a smug Redditor.
Not much. There are some tech communities that I still monitor there to keep up with the general public. and then i check my local city subreddit sometimes.
But mostly use rss, and then lurk lemmy.
Mostly for reminding myself why I no longer use reddit.
Also occasional tech support issues via DuckDuckGo searches
I’m trying to quit, again
Same. I got out for a while and was doing pretty good. Never installed the app once Apollo got shuttered and that helped. But then I got into some niche hobbies and the Reddit communities are the best source of info for that anywhere online unfortunately. So I’ve gotten complacent and started relying too much on it again. Gotta try to ween myself off.
If a search links to it, it will be years old and might have some information but I immediately see the reason I don’t use it anymore with ads/suggested subs. And sometimes porn.
OK last one’s a feature not a bug.
Deleted my account, so nothing.
LOL, username checks out. My maan
i only use it for some videos at this point
I really enjoy lemmy much more, reading comments here and stuff, i feel much better since i started using lemmy instead of reddit. and like i did not even comment on reddit for years but i started doing that again here because it feels okay doing
Korn, Lemmy still not diverse enough for that
I’m all in.
