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.

MODERATORS
Around 15 years for me. I also took 3 10+ year old accounts too
👋
I was close, 9 years.
All in all nearly 10 year though my last account is 7+ years old and this was the time I actually used the site and didn't just lurk. My last account isn't deleted, I just don't use it anymore. Lemmy at first seemed more complicated, but I stayed for the communication culture and the fediverse concept . I'd love to see lemmy grow to a reddit successor but I doubt it will get this big. Then again I wonder if this isn't for the positive. Also it is really refreshing not to be suffocated under rage- and clickbait by some malicious algorithm.
I literally only go back for a couple of the NSFW reddits like once a week. Other than that it is dead to me.
I am one. I had six Reddit accounts, a couple were throwaways. I started at Slashdot then Digg then Reddit. I’ve since deleted all my most popular posts (that caused PMs on the regular) then deleted the accounts afterwards.
I still view content on there but with no account using AdGuard and Sink It (removes Reddits BS “download app” prompts). I also browse incognito to not leave behind tracking cookies.
I’ve made sure I’m worthless traffic to them for the content that Lemmy doesn’t have.
Had an 11 year old account.
Not quite 10 years, only 8, but I left the moment rif was shut down. Fuck spez
I got all my accounts banned last year and I've been watching the decline ever since.
11 years+ here. Left almost a month ago.
It would have been 13 years this year, but the API changes killed Boost and after also killing Reddit Gifts for failing to turn a profit when it started as a community thing, plus the new redesign to make it look more like the Facebook feed, plus having to rely on automoderator codes instead of having properly integrated mod tools, plus the fact that they keep rolling out Place again instead of coming up with more original ideas like The Button, plus allowing the_donald and creepshots to exist for so long...
...yeah.
i delted my 12+ yr. account.
10 yo for me
I left it for content outside of two are communities that are only at reddit: r/Summonerschool and r/CompetitiveTFT. (they are also at discord, but I dont like "chat" style)
November 25, 2010
Fuck spez
10-ish years here. I haven't used it on my phone since the cut, but I sadly can't really quit it completely, since a lot of communities haven't migrated and I have to use them for my hobbies. Most of their discords are sadly very dead or full with memes and no real discussion. When (or if sadly) they all convert, I can quit Reddit completely. Until then, I try to use it as little as possible.
+1 here.
I used the official Reddit app for some time before switching between Apollo and Joey (depending on whether I had an iPhone at the time or an Android).
I deleted my account but I think I was around 12 years
13+ years on Reddit, never very active though... still modding some smaller communities.
Not quite 10, but something around that. Popped up on place to contribute pixels to the guillotine and such, but haven't been back.
Use RSS to keep up with nosleep which is the only thing I really enjoyed very much.
Kbin/fedi really wasn't that hard to adjust to, in the end.
11 years here I think.
Ten-year club trophy. Logged out of Reddit as the public spat with Apollo was in full swing. Only visiting if a search leads me there.
I think I was on the site for just about ten years. Haven't touched it since june.
I was a long term user until and left because of the third party apps removal.
Just over a decade on reddit. Still miss how it was. Hopeful for lemmy and fediverse future

Yep, a few days after the protests petered out. Nuked my account there. Life's been better since.
My Cake day is April 17, 2013.
I was maybe the most active for about the last ½-1 year before this August or something. Maybe 75-90% of my activity was lurking, viewing people's discussions.
I didn't notice negative events regarding Reddit before the API war in the summer. The subreddits I were at were nice places. I guess different communities/subreddits have conversations depending on the topic and how strick or active or casual or entertainment-only the community is about...so it's kinda obvious to me that some places have more decent talk and some of them get karma more easier with smaller effort and stuff...
I'm sad about the API stuff. I lost contact to Relay before they talked about the need of subscription, so they can handle the costs. I'm fine with that, on Relay's side - not angry about that. But my activity in Reddit took a plunge after I deleted Relay from my Android. Nowadays I go to Reddit only to read if there's info I need (problems with software etc) not found as easily some place else, but I don't create new stuff anymore.
12 year Redditor here. Nevermore...
BE My account was I believe 11 years old when I deleted it right after all of the Apollo stuff went down. I used the app on my macs and mobile devices.
about 12 years I think for me
Just made 10 years. Gatdamm I have 184,742 karma over there. I didn’t realize lol
