I only visit reddit if I google something and a reddit thread about the problem pops up in the results. Otherwise, I'm completely off reddit.

Until I find most of the equivalent Reddit subs on Lemmy, with their emigrated leading lights, you kind of have to. Like you said, only Reddit has the answers. Startpage: "42? site:reddit.com"
I'm too old to enjoy drama.
I do not. I stopped using it the day they announced the API changes, and I deleted my account the following day.
Nope, in fact after trying the super delete Suite (failed) I'm creating my own userscript to delete all my old comments. Once it's finished later today I'll post about it on Lemmy for others to use.
15yr old account dead and banned. The only time I check out Reddit is to look at the Western Europeans taking the piss out of each other on 2westerneuropean4u.
No I dont't actually.
I've stopped using reddit, unless I need to search for historic content related to some tech gadget or something. And then only on desktop/laptop.
I've subbed to audible and kindle unlimited and been happier since.
I still use Reddit, but have used it significantly less. I am experimenting with alternatives like Lemmy.
Very rarely. If it's a terminally online day and I run out of content I might go on reddit.
I just got here
Removed reddit bookmarks and apps and went all in on Lemmy, haven't touched Reddit.
Negative - occasionally I'll find something on Google but I search for other options before resorting to Reddit haha.
Mainly using Lemmy. Was recently trying to migrate all of the Subreddits to Lemmy. Still have ReVanced Sync for Reddit installed, and Relay. Reddit has many more communities that I'm afraid Lemmy won't get to see, perhaps because the audience just uses the default Reddit app, but I'm hopeful. Even for Subreddits that moved to Lemmy, I feel like I get to see more content that I'm interested in, in the same period of time, even if I change the sorting. I usually see different content if I reopen any Reddit app, but Lemmy often shows me mostly the same posts for a day or so.
Not since Boost stopped working
only if it has an answer to a problem I need an answer to, but I then turn around and leave the second I'm done.
I purged every post I had made over the years before walking away. Haven't looked back. Fuck'em.
Nah deleted my acct like a month ago
Only for the naughty stuff. I've unsubbed from everything on my main account and haven't logged in for ages, but not gone as far as deleting my messages (can't be arsed, tbh). Lemmy's Naughty Stuff For Wankers isn't quite where Reddit's is yet but it's getting up there.
Almost every subreddits to specific games that I play (Celeste, Hollow Knight, etc), either has no federative alternatives or is still far more active on Reddit. Like 95% of contents I watch does not exist anywhere else.
I'm not using reddit as a daily driver, but I visit it when I'm looking for answers.
I still do, but only read a few nosleep stories on my mobile browser before bed. If I had another option for spooky stories from indie authors I would quit completely.
Not since the blackout, no.
I'm mostly just using it for subreddits that don't have an equivalent Lemmy community yet.
My daily reddit use has dropped by an order of magnitude. Now I just subscribe to a few subreddit RSS feeds that I skim through once a day, and that's pretty much it. If I really feel compelled to post something, I'll begrudgingly grab my laptop and head to old.reddit ... we'll see how long that lasts.
Only when a general search brings me to it. I no longer scroll it or actively choose to visit.
Now and again I jump on for niche information for my hobbies. But only on desktop, and only on old.reddit.com
I completely stopped using it.
I don't. I thought I would miss it a lot, but after replacing rif with lemmy and a few other apps I haven't really been thinking about reddit recently.
I'm the same way now, I used to use reddit daily.
Now, I only use it when I have question, I still google "my question" reddit.
Never really used it that much and I've been much more active in Lemmy than ever in Reddit.
However, if I have problem that need a quick answer, I usually search Reddit. This in not because it is somehow amazing, but because Google searches suck nowadays. Typing Reddit into the search query usually brings out the answer I need instantly.
The moment sync died, my engagement with it died.
It's sad, it was great.
But... It is the way he wants it... Well.. He gets it. I don't like it anymore then you do.
You know the song ;) https://youtu.be/5e3sI5xkA0M
All the time. Still getting my feet wet with lemmy
No
Same here. I'm not actively browsing or looking for information from Reddit, but if it's unavoidable, then so be it. I can't ignore the wealth of information still there.
I haven't been back on Reddit since shortly before July 1. I enjoy the vibe here right and the novelty of something new hasn't worn off yet.
Some subreddits I was more into like Destiny 2's and Diablo 4 don't seem as busy here so I have a feeling I may need to lurk over there still from time to time.
No. I went cold turkey in mid-June. I logged back in last week to use Power Delete Suite to automatically edit every post and comment I ever made to this and then deleted my account.
I'll still use Reddit read-only and with cookies blocked if I stumble upon (ahahaha) it through a search or something.
I deleted my 9 year old account once Bacon Reader stopped working for me.
Haven't been there since the blackout, don't miss it. I've always gone there with desktop browser running uBO so I never did see adds there except for inline stuff once in a while. That's one nice thing about Lemmy, looks exactly the same whether the blocker is on or off.
Nope.
I still use reddit but only when Google search results points me to it and via a teddit (alternative frontend) instance so I don't give them a dime with ads nor a visit, but teddit is slowly dying (Error: 429 "Too Many Requests") because they decreased the limit of posts it could load, so you have to switch between instances until it finally loads, but thankfully, a script does that for you automatically (thanks to bezier-curve from Hacker News https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36726442) : https://pastebin.com/zFJ5nb42
Also, to be automatically redirected from reddit to your favorite teddit instance, you could use this extension for Firefox (I'm not using Chrome sorry) : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reddit-to-teddit-redirect/
To help prevent 429 errors from happening, you can still help by creating more teddit servers! : https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit
