With the reddit API debacle far in the review, I'm wondering if any of you went back to the platform.

Edit: Looks like Spez was right :(

Not unless a random search takes me there for a non-answer to my obscure question.

[-] wirelesswire@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

I didn't visit Reddit for 8 months or so after the API fiasco, but gradually started going back for a handful of niche communities whose fediverse counterparts are dead or nonexistent.

Generally no. R/ sysadmin is very helpful; but I usually end up there from a search rather than browsing reddit

[-] ianonavy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] shapis@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Not often. Mostly because the official app is so unbearably trash.

[-] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 days ago

I go there to steal content for Lemmy, but rarely post unless its to bring attention to an important cause.

I'll log in every once in a while to check my pins, and I'll read threads from web searches, but I don't at all scroll a feed or post. I never looked back after the blackout shutdown.

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

Yup. My town has a pretty active subreddit, and the Cyberpunk RED subreddit has great material.

[-] bokherif@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I download it every now and then. But usually I end up deleting it because of the sheer amount of propaganda and advertising. Like give me people’s ideas, not some idiot who’s famous because he did X and Y.

I spend most of my time on Lemmy but when I'm on a desktop I'll check reddit occasionally. I refuse to interact at all though

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

I end up there sometimes but I don't seek it out anymore. I don't have the app on my phone.

[-] burgersc12@mander.xyz 2 points 3 days ago

Occasionally I'll use Redreader to check in and see if there is anything worth looking at. But for most of my scrolling and all of my comments I end up back on here.

[-] RagingHungryPanda@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

I don't. I recently logged in just to see what i was missing. More than half my front page was ads, the next 30% was repost bots posting the generic questions for engagement. There were maybe 2-3 posts that were actual posts. I left.

[-] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Not really. Sometimes I'm there from search results but never logged in. Rif was reddit for me.

[-] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

Using reddit on PC and lemmy on mobile since the reddit app sucks

i only use it when attempting to lure people to the 'verse from that terrible, bot-ridden cesspool

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 1 points 3 days ago

I use it for a couple of communities specifically for foreigners living in Japan as it's a great source of info from people who've been here longer than I have or have dealt with situations I have not. It's also useful for info on dealing with the obscenity that being an American citizen trying to invest for retirement while overseas brings (I can't use the ISA here or other tax-advantaged things because the US government considers them all PFICs which removes any tax advantage and causes even more pain after that).

[-] doc@fedia.io 1 points 3 days ago

Subscribed to the RSS for the one very local niche sub that i haven't found a substitute for. Other than just incidental search results that take me there.
