Reddit Migration

I’m still checking Reddit. I think once Apollo goes my usage will really drop, but unfortunately Reddit was the one social media I really enjoyed and as much as I’m liking Lemmy/Kbin the communities just aren’t here yet. I hope that changes

Same. Can we just stop talking about it and let it die

gotta say i'm quite surprised that some communities are thriving here. sure it's only a fraction of what's on reddit, but it's still quite active

I've pretty much only commented on threads related to protesting and what I think of the situation. Not much else.

Yeah same for me. Ever since the problem with the API and stuff i just drifted away from Reddit.

I was just thinking about this this morning. 14 year old account. The only reason I've been back in the last couple of weeks has been to work on purging my comments, posts, etc and to harvest information from saved posts (all with the intent to delete the account entirely on the 30th). I do find myself missing some subreddits occasionally, but for most of the content I've been able to find suitable alternatives.

What I have really noticed is how much browsing reddit had become an "idle activity" for me - don't have something immediately in front of me to do? Why not browse reddit? It's become really apparent just how much time every day I was wasting there.

12th for me, but yes. This place works for me.

Same. Used to go there daily like it's my home but It doesn't feels like home anymore.

Someone pointed me to an extension that redirects to other sites, so for the two subreddits I still track (Hololive and Arknights) I redirect them instead.

Hololive has barely moved but will probably be able to drop Arknights soon as the community here is building up more.

Pretty much everything else is here now.

With all my new free time, I discovered these things called RSS feeds. I think they might catch on! Wait, is it not 2004 anymore...?

Basically same here. Only exception is when I've googled a question I had and ended up there.

I'm about 50/50, but I'm sure that ratio will shift drastically once RIF gets turned off.

I haven't been on Facebook in almost 10 years, I deleted both my Twitter accounts the day Elon officially bought the site, but I gotta confess, I've been back to Reddit a few times via Google, to get some niche questions answered. It's become such a backlog of discussion for so many topics that it's kind of not feasible to just wipe it off the map, we have to be able to migrate all that stuff somewhere Spez isn't able to fuck with it.

"Why is the audio crackling in Armored Core 4 on RPSC3?" Answered a year ago

"How can my new smoker's chip tray work without holes?" It can't, everyone with that smoker replaces the tray, answered seven years ago.

And of course, I don't know where else to find an easy compilation of over 14 different imgur albums and GDrive documents for Monster Hunter meta builds, so even if I bookmark them now, I still had to go back to get the links in the first place.

My only interactions with Reddit since the blackout have been google search results. I admit that I do miss it, but the behavior of spez and his lackeys has been despicable, and totally killed any enthusiasm I had left for Reddit.

My account was 15 years old, I think? Whilst I am at home here. I do find out of habit open Reddit up on Desktop or Mobile. That's only been four or five times since the start of June.

We dropped off the day that rif announced they were folding, we don't remember which day that was. Technically we've been there since then occasionally, either because we accidentally clicked a link in google search, or because the other day we went back there to grab a list of our subscribed subreddits to do a proper migration, but the moment the writing on the wall became clear, we jumped ship.

I still check it every now and then to see updates on where some of my more niche communities are moving if they are at all.

Deleted my account during the AMA. Reddit is dead to me.

Same! I like it here, people are friendly and it's not so crowded 😄

They still have the best soccer place

I kept accidentally going back by clicking on the rif app on my phone. Then I'd quickly exit out. I went back to see a result from Google for a recent event I went to. Other than that I haven't been back.

I've been actively purging my account since then but new comments and posts that weren't appearing before continue to show up, as recently as a post appearing last night. Will be waiting for my GDPR request to be processed, ensuring everything is deleted, then submitting another just to waste their time to finally delete the account.

But yeah not using the platform. It's run its course. It was definitely not the same since 2016 election/Cambridge analytica/Russian bot brigading. Took leaving to realize how polarized and rage filled it was, even after leaving all of the default subs and finding niche communities.

Haven’t been back since June 1st. I am enjoying Lemmy and the Fediverse greatly. I am trying to contribute and comment as much as I can.

Redditor of 10 years, gone for good. I might leave this website too, since I'm being branded a "trans-hater" here for asking what constitutes an "anti-trans law"
