Not unless I need to get some info from a niche country sub that barely exists on lemmy

And even then no login, read only.

Much prefer messing around here. I only just got my first ban from NCD because I said the US would prevent Ukraine from joining NATO which kind of made me look like a Russian shill which I assume is the #1 spam NCD receives.

Otherwise I have really enjoyed being able to share my opinion without getting admin/mod banned, even on communities and instances with a lopsided set of users.

I have pissed off both ml and world users which is funny because they each claimed I was from the opposite instance. But no such thing as shadowban or user nuking. I can actually discuss things here in detail, as well as receive quality posts from all of you :)

Only to answer obscure questions I have. But I’m not there to participate

Nope. Not unless I need to Google something and the best result is a reddit thread

Don’t use my Reddit account anymore, and now I obsessively check and contribute to discussion on Lemmy instead of Reddit.

As a search result, sure I’d click on a Reddit link once in a while, but other than that I’ve stopped interacting with Reddit altogether.

No. There’s just repost bots left. There’s no point in going back, I’ve already seen all the posts several times over the years.

I’m using both Boost apps, Boost for Reddit and Boost for Lemmy. This way, I can only differentiate the networks by their post quality.

Reddit is bad to mediocre, full of memes and karma farming

Lemmy has few posts, but feels closer to the user

I don’t. Fuck Reddit and fuck spez

Unfortunately yes. Unfortunately Lemmy is too small for many of the things I did on Reddit. I mainly enjoyed lurking around in discussions on Reddit, only posting comments when I really cared (just like I do now here on Lemmy). Whenever I played a game, watched a show, etc I’d go to Reddit to read about other people’s opinions and discussions. But Lemmy is too small to have any meaningful discussion about a specific game or some other content.

Often I see here the “if you miss it why not create it” sentiment, but that’s just not how I used Reddit. I often don’t want to have a meaningful discussion with s small group of people but rather read the opinions and memes of a large group of people.

So far, I’ve been able to limit it to browser usage though. The web experience of Reddit is abysmal, but at least I can block the ads etc. And I’m still here for all the content that is on Lemmy.

Yup. Stuck to my guns for over a year, and Lemmy didnt grow like I thought it would. Started using Reddit more regularly again in September.

Now, I do still only use it in the browser, no app, so my usage of Lemmy still far surpasses Reddit.

But there are some communities that either never made the migration or faced active hostility, so, gotta go to Reddit to be a part of them 🤷‍♀️.

On a browser, yes, but only for one sub because the community there is 1M+ and over here is 10 and no one has posted in 9 months.

nop

Without an account and on a web browser? Yes.

Do I regret it? Also yes. That site barely works half the time anymore. It’s kinda funny how my only real choices of browsing Reddit are either super bloated or super ugly (the latter refers to old.reddit.com). Want neither? As of 2023 you can’t.

Yes, because niche communities are much smaller here if not non-existant. Communities about Classical Chinese, poetry, various academic humanities subjects and the like isn’t exactly thriving on here. I try to use the fediverse when I’m able to though, and also try to support smaller communities, but yeah…

I lurk in my city’s subreddit. It briefly closed as part of the protests, but the Lemmy community that was created at the time is inactive.

Deleted my account the day third-party apps were killed. I do browse it on the phone daily using Libreddit though, but only specific communities. I also have LibRedirect setup on my computer, so it redirects me to an Libreddit instance when I click on Reddit links from search results. There’s still a lot of valuable knowledge there so it is hard to avoid.
