Nope. I actually post link instead of just waiting for people to post them.
Also, sorting by "new" helps a lot
No, but I still very occasionally check it but only every couple of days for the niche communities, but only because my reddit app of choice still works - but as soon as it stops I will not miss it.
Which app is that?
Relay for Reddit - but I am guessing the move to the paid subscription is due any day now.
When I finish watching a tv show, I go to the related sub to see best memes. Nobody can take that away from reddit.
I did reinstall Infinity a few times. But the limit on viewed posts is a good way to keep me away.
I still browse reddit occasionally to watch videos like/r/crazyfuckingvideos or to read discussion on thr war /r/credibledefense or certain game subs like /r/chess or /r/slaythespire
I haven't made a comment or voted on anything since the API change though. All of the content I generate going forward will go exclusively to Fediverse.

Just visit the specific subreddits with content that your after using bookmarks while you also use Lemmy. There's no sides to this stuff that you have to choose between.
There is technical content on Reddit that is higher quality than stackoverflow and the rest of the internet has been enshittified. So I’ll still take Reddit search hits over most anything else.
This has always been the hardest part for me; the amount of technical information on Reddit is so valuable and trumps the rest of the Internet in it's esoteric specifics. It makes not looking through it's threads when I'm looking for specific information feel nigh impossible...
I went from being on reddit daily to not opening it for almost 2 or 3 weeks now. I haven't had an issue content wise, sure there is some decent informational on the site but, I find a lot of information on it to be outdated anyway
I agree 100%. I set up a home server after reddit fell, and unfortunately I've been having to use reddit to ask a lot of my questions. The communities for the stuff I need to ask here on Lemmy just don't exist, and on reddit they do, and you'll get responses pretty quickly.
For any kind of programming questions reddit has been far better than lemmy simply because it is significantly more populated.
I think the main search engines redirect a lot of traffic to R. Not sure why, but its apparant.
I added some small/niche subs to my RSS reader. If something gets posted I'll take a look, but I'm not spending time browsing and getting sucked in anymore.
I hear ya. There's just no one here. I don't like anime and I'm not a communist so there goes half of the subs. The other half are either news related or empty. I never engaged in conversation much on reddit but the comments were always where you got the best info and links. That was half the reason I liked reddit and lemmy doesn't have that at all. I'm still here because I'm stubborn but unless there is a growth spurt coming soon I probably won't be much longer.
I used to use libreddit or teddit. But they are unviable now because of the amount of requests. So I sometimes try to check if there is something interesting about SSBM, which is the only subreddit that is not on lemmy which I'm kind of interested in, but I get the same error many of the times. But it doesn't really matter, if you ignore reddit's existence, you will feel no attachment to it.
I'm not giving up Reddit purely because it's more fun, more diverse and better designed.
Yeah. 99% of the time, I can use Lemmy for everything I used to use Reddit for, but if I miss a goal in the games of my favourite football club, I still turn to r/soccer to watch the replay before the disgustingly overzealous Premier League lawyers pounce..
Yes. I also quit R after all the bs. There a hole in my internet heart and nothing to fill it with
Nah
OP, make some more recommendations for communities you want to see. Ask instance admins for help grtting those communities to start being active. And crosspost them to "discovery" boards.
I am sorta having this issue - some boards I like don't wanna have deep discussions, and I do. I'm like, so lame, if you tell me to watch a show or read a book to come back and discuss, you're probably doing me a favor.
Nope, checked out July first and never looked back.
Most Reddit content is repost bots and stormfront.
Nah, My preference setting is "All, new" and there is some wild shit on here. Lots of international instances I would never get to see because of some "algorithm".
What? You need more furry porn don't you......
