Less than I thought would to be honest...
I check both Reddit and Kbin, have both of them open in pinned tabs.
But I spend a whole lot less time on Reddit than I used to.
And it's not like I now spend the less time I spend there on Kbin either, I'm just mostly beyond browsing it obsessively and do other crap instead.
Same with Twitter.
After I quit Twitter and moved to Mastodon, I do read my feed once or so a day, but compared to a year ago, I barely participate anymore.
I currently use both. I want to make the switch but I mostly use Reddit for destiny 2 and haven't been able to find the community here for that.
I did. No apps on my phone anymore, and any time I have to visit the site I block Google from automatically signing me in. So I've used the site but not as an active user.
Still waiting for good search engine discoverability for Lemmy. Seems like Reddit is set up for that but not Lemmy. If that would work, I'd dropped Reddit altogether and start prioritizing Lemmy.
I dropped it.
I will probably use it just for my nhl teams sub once the season starts up. But that's it.
My app worked as I was mod of my own sub. Few weeks ago that stopped working, and I haven't opened reddit since
I did mostly. But when I really need reddit for something, I use a libreddit instance I set up on my raspberry pi.
But my Reddit-Account still exists.
According to their github, the changes reddit made a few months ago broke libreddit. Does it still work for you?
Yes. It works flawlessly for me. I just used it today.
Good to know. Thanks.
I left before apollo died so i had time to properly ween myself to a new platform and see what i like. Sure i still have the reddit app but it’s not signed in and only there so the website doesnt pester me to login when i just wanted a question answered
I have not fully dropped lemmy but I still use it to check out the latest (tech and tech related) news. Lemmy is good at that aspect these days.
Me. I never directly browse to it. If I end up on a reddit post from a google search on desktop, meh, I'll click the link. No chance in hell on mobile.
Not 100% but like 95. Still go to Reddit for a couple niche subs
I visit Lemmy with sync on my phone and tablet. On pc I still visit reddit. I actually haven't visited anything of Lemmy on pc yet.
The content of Lemmy does feel lacking compared to what reddit used to offer me. And so does the content on reddit actually (feel lacking compared to what reddit used to offer me when I visited it with sync for reddit).
The home tab when logged into the reddit app is just weird, so many subs that I have no interest in seeing are being shown, while subs that I'm actually a member off are shoved down the list. The worst offender for me, was that reddit had decided for me that I should be interested in my countries' fascist sub, just because I'm a member of the pluralist main sub. When I was using the reddit app for a few weeks, I would see racist dog whistle posts daily. So now I don't login into reddit anymore, I just browse it anonymous now.
I'm pretty sure that not even 1% .
It is possible to estimate?
No. Everything from zero to everyone here may still use Reddit in parallel.
Personally, I use kbin exclusively now.
I'm on kbin exclusively now, with the exception of a couple weeks ago. I was looking for exceptional rock shops near where I was visiting. Wanted suggestions/reviews from the more geological geared, and specifically not metaphysical/crystal shops. Reddit was the best resource for my purpose.
That said, I believe the fediverse can become a similar resource. For the time being, there just isn't a large enough, or old enough library of information to draw from. Given time this should change, but for now Reddit still fills certain types of needs that other areas of the internet cannot.
