Since the blackout, I only use reddit when it pops up in search results regarding a special problem. No “open reddit and scrolling” anymore. It would be stupid to 100% boycott it and make my life harder just because, but they don’t get more traffic from me than necessary.
Same with me. I’ve removed all the apps from my phone and I’ve moved to Lemmy for all my doom scrolling.
It’s similar for me, but I’m keeping Apollo forever. It sits right above the wefwef link in my icons now.
Nothing. Haven’t logged on since subs went dark.
Nothing. I keep the BaconReader app so that when I click on it and nothing loads, I know there is nothing for me there.

Every time you do, it sends a few API requests to Reddit. One might think of it as a reminder to the Reddit staff of just how many eyeballs they lost with their boneheaded decision.
I do exactly the same thing! I think its a good strategy. I’ve acidentally opened baconreader a handful of times just from muscle memory and its only been a couple of days.
Shitposting subs that actually shitpost instead of posting regular memes. For that to happen on Lemmy we’ll need a good way of sending videos/gifs to the platform, which is gonna take a while to be implemented but eventually will
Only the NSFW-Content.
Edit: Just learned about the existence of lemmynsfw.com. At the moment not compareable but its growing fast.
I still go on my city’s subreddit to get the latest news about my city.
I’m immediately struck by the contradiction of asking this on Lemmy.
r/guitar, r/bass and r/trumpet mostly. The sheer amount of people in the communites just makes it better (shocking news I know)
The memes are better here tho
Not everyone and every community I like is here.
Jerboa is giving me network errors still
Haha, classic:
Amazing.

That would be the instances themselves, but the problem is ultimately the same on your end.
I’ve been using Liftoff and have really enjoyed it

Specific subs that don’t exist on Lemmy, especially Q&A-type subs with no equivalent (or very few members). Things like AskPlumbers. It’ll just take time to build those communities here.
Nothing. I miss being more informed on what’s going on in the world but I don’t miss mindless Reddit discussion about it. I miss a lot of subs though. If AskHistorians goes back to normal, I might pop in for that occasionally.
This is getting better and better though, I’d rather ride out our awkward phase than get sucked back in to the Reddit cesspool and drift away. Although we really need to stop talking about Reddit so much.
Agreed. These meta discussions arent productive or interesting. I dont really care what spez thinks, what people who are still on reddit think, or blah blah blah. I know some people get worked up about “owning” reddit but its not a big deal. If theyre upset it doesnt improve or take away from my life in any way
9 times out of 10 when I was using reddit in the past few years, I was just scanning the news subreddits. I also like to stay informed on happenings, and am hoping Lemmy can do well there too. I’ve been following all the news links I can find. If maybe there could be a whole news instance…would be nice.
