13 years. I lurked a few years before creating an account. Been using Lemmy for the most part since the Apollo app shut down a month ago. I still append "reddit" to my searches though, so I occasionally end up there for older content.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

God knows how long I'd been on Reddit. Easily 10+ and multiple accounts later.
11 years. Should have left multiple times during that stint but RIF shutting down was the last nail in the coffin.
11 years. Fuck spez
I joined in 2011 and left as soon as Spez got caught trying to accuse Christian Selig of blackmail. I didn't want to help someone so clearly divorced from any reasonable standard of ethics make money
16yrs, made an account before the Digg drama, migrated there after.
I’ve not been back since, other than friends linking to stuff there basically
Think I was 14 or 15. Only go on when Googling answers to things and.theres too many AI articles in the results.
12+ years here. Deleted all my content and account.
Thirteen years, roughly 800k karma.
Nuked it all when RIF went down.
Redditor for almost about 12 years now. Signed up on Sun 28th Aug 06:12:41 2011. Nuking my account as soon as I can get my data take-out.
Yep 10+ and I left about a week after RIF went down and deleted my account about a week later. Haven't looked back.
10 years, 120k karma
The changes would have had no immediate affect on me, but it’s the mods that made the place useable. I just can’t see it working after alienating so many of the people wrangling content
However I also expected to be next on the chopping block. I prefer to use a web browser and the constant nag to use the app was getting irritating, and they seemed to be eating away at the old UI to push us to the fiasco that replaced it (it probably doesn’t help that I use Safari on iPad and their attempt to get fancy is less compatible)
almost 11 years and over half a million karma.
11+ years with an account and 15 or so as a lurker checking in
At least 15 years here
Reporting for duty, sir!
Joined in 2009. Pretty much never browse Reddit anymore other than specific scenarios.
I was on Reddit for over 5 years
13 years here. Spent a few years before that just lurking.
Yep, I left when it was announced Apollo was shutting down.
I forget what year it happened in but I started reddit with the Digg migration.
I was at about 12 when I left
I was there for at least 10 years. Not going back.
14 years and change. Haven't been back since blackout day.
9 years on my last account. About 13 or 14 years on my first one that was doxxing me
There are 14,000 of us in this community. How many of us are ten year plus users who have just had enough?
It's me. I'm in this picture
11 or 12 years here
Me. Not quite 10 years, but close at 9 and some months.
Me
What's got 2 thumbs and is this guy?
THIS GUY!
Over 10. I left for Voat, then it died, then I didn't come back for a long time. Started enjoying it again and now I'm done.
Add another
9 years here, was quite active too
My longest running account will be 10 years old in December.
14years
Not sure how long exactly, but probably more than 10 years. And I'm gone!
Close to ten, but I didnt leave, I got permabanned, I still dont know why
16 years for me. They took away the app I preferred (joey) so I went somewhere else.
Yeah, I'm a 10 yearer. Shame, I loved Rif.
