There's a couple of sports and tech subs I have bookmarked via old.reddit that are still the de facto place for the community, all in a browser with aggressive privacy measures. I check in on them when "stuff happens" in that area, but don't post and don't hang around.
Otherwise from the odd search hit, I made a clean break back in June and haven't really looked back.
This is pretty much me as well. I may use results from a search, but, for the most part, I'm never signed in and I haven't commented or voted on anything for quite a while.
The comments seem less helpful or on point with new content from that site anyway, so whenever I am on it, it's usually like a problem solving thread that was posted a year or more back.
Edit: I'm only signed in on my main computer as I still have that login running, I guess.
Also, idk what people are talking about with lack of content. It's not oversaturated to the point that new posts get lost in the churn, but the communities I subscribe to have a fair amount of posts going on.
I feel like people aren't curating their lemmy feeds well or at all if they're not seeing content. I will say that it takes some time to figure out which communities to subscribe to, but I think the majority of that is behind me and I'm catching up with interesting content through stuff like new community or trending community posts.
Yeah the only thing I’ve gone back to Reddit for is some sports subs and like you said, only when something specific is happening.
Same. I only check back for r/nba and my city’s sub, because the lemmy equivalent isn’t as active yet.
