My account turns 11 on August 11th... lurking 2-3 years prior. As soon as the news was dropped about API changes I came over here and switched between the two. Stopped using reddit overall once my app wasn't supported. I miss my small communities and the news from my city but I can't continue to support it

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

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.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I was a 10 year lurker. Actually post a bit on here..
I left at the start of the blackout which was 2 weeks under 10 years for me.
12 years, deleted my account and overwrote all posts and comments I could before I did so.

I just googled it. Reddit was made in 2005. That means I must've started using it in 2007 or 8.
13 years here. Spent a few years before that just lurking.
14 years for me.
My cake day was July 11 2011 so almost 12 years to the day when I left.
12 years here on my oldest account
Present, 11 year old account when I left. Not "deleted" because I'm lazy, but certainly abandoned.

I put in something like 11 years. It's kong enough to understand that platforms can and will die in 10+ years.
Me.
Yo.
15 years and almost went to a stop going there (I setup a RSS feed for 3 subs, but I actually manually check them twice a week to make sure I'm not missing on important news)
The fediverse as a whole is getting more and more interesting this year. Sure, it's still lacking in amount of content, but it brings me "good enough" content to avoid feeling like I'm missing something.
2013-2023.
8 for me
I'm 10 years, I haven't left Reddit completely but I've definitely started using it significantly less
I was on Reddit for over 5 years
14 years and change. Haven't been back since blackout day.
At least 15 years here
15 year club here. Deleted and never looked back.
I was at about 12 when I left
11 or 12 years here

I'm one. First found Reddit around 2011 iirc and yeah, the changes of the past 5-7 years took much of what brought me there in the first place away. The most recent API changes, killing the app that made me a daily user in the first place were just the cherry on top and what really crosses the line for me. Censor it all you want, hated that but what site isn't censored to the brim nowadays? But take away my favorite apps and basically extort the developer? Nah.
9 years here, was quite active too
I joined Digg v3 back in the day and reddit along with it. When Digg changed their website I pretty much went all in on reddit.
Now here we are.
I think I had 10 years on reddit. I stopped goin after the API stuff. But I am still googling old reddit threads for tech support inquiries.
I had a 13 and a half year old account and I haven't logged in since the blackout.
I spent 5 years on Reddit, a made a lemmy account after the API changes
I saw the writing on the wall,
I deleted my 11yr high karma account on 1st July. I had another before that which was a couple of years or so old.
I did it in protest but as an interesting side effect, my mental health has improved slightly. Guess actively engaging with toxicity does have an effect.
I've deleted multiple accounts over the years trying to leave Reddit. All my accounts are now gone and I only visit of an Internet search brings me to the site.
Close to ten, but I didnt leave, I got permabanned, I still dont know why
My longest running account will be 10 years old in December.
I was there for at least 10 years. Not going back.
