Those who have not deleted their Reddit accounts, do you still visit the site for anything?

No Im just too lazy to delete it. I'm also wondering why people didn't replace comments with "Join me on lemmy" instead of fuck /u/spez, or both, fuck

Is everyone too afraid to say it? Porn.

I haven’t deleted my Reddit account and I no longer go to Reddit. I’ve moved on. That’s it.

I deleted all my comments and posts but kept my account in case reddit undeletes anything. Also to keep my saved stuff and messages. I don't feel like it matters if I keep my account or not since I'm not using the site anymore

I deleted my 12+ year account and haven’t looked back. I kind of like the smaller community here, reminds me of the old Reddit days. Looking forward to watching the community grow.

Just to make sure my comments stay edited.

Lemmy has fully replaced Reddit for my casual scrolling needs. But for research purposes for things like buying advice, tech support, etc I still find myself at Reddit. Lemmy may get there someday, but it's not there yet.

I didn't delete my account because I hate permanently removing information from the internet. I get annoyed when links are dead or information is lost. I understand why others are doing it, but I can't help but be sad at all the information we've lost and I won't contribute to that.

I'm waiting for some support subs to make it over.

keeping an eye on my data request and making sure my comments stay deleted

Theres a couple of subs that I still like to visit that haven’t really migrated here (BlackPeopleTwitter, TikTokCringe, etc). But that’s only while old Reddit still works haha

Some of the communities I frequent still haven't migrated over to Lemmy.

Oh hey, this is actually my first Lemmy comment. Sup party people

Ive been with Reddit since 2007, fuck em.

I didn't migrate in protest, I just came here because this community picked up pace, an my access to Reddit got limited when RIF stopped working.

I still have a Twitter account that I never use. And an Instagram account. And a few more that didn't work out.

I go for 2 things.

A sports team I support. There's a community here on lemmy which I do post in but it's like 3 of use here haha. Until it picks up I need to get team news somewhere.

Ukraine war daily thread. This is too important to ignore but I am trying to find other sources. Started using mastodon to follow some war commenters.

I feel dirty doing so though.

Only to check if the data from my GDPR request is available yet.

I deleted my account after a week when I found out Sync for reddit was done for. I am now waiting for Sync for Lemmy. I only use reddit when it gives me a result in Google search. So far I am loving Lemmy and Mastadon. I thought about looking at Pixelfed. Even if my friends/family don't use it.

Only thing I still use it for is the NFL sub. Unfortunately it's still one of the best places for sports news.

The NFL subreddit had been getting steadily worse for years, but it's still one of the best places for NFL discussion.

There are niche communities that haven't migrated that I'm okay with using a crappy platform to stay in contact with. That being said I've been using teddit until I need to post.

Didn't delete, but used a script to edit all of my comments with a link to kbin. Might as well use my account for good and help out with kbin's SEO

I keep my account because I plan to dump some saved posts. But I didn't have time to do so yet.

I technically have Reddit fully working with Apollo with my API key but I seldom visit it other than modding my uni sub once in a blue moon.

I sometimes check if my deleted comments are back, and I delete them again. I'll probably delete my account once I'm sure my comments are gone for good.

Nope, I don't use it. I figure maybe I can tell someone about Lemmy in the future though which is why I keep it around.

I keep meaning to go over there and re-save all the links and recipes and stuff that I have saved up from years and years, but I haven't gotten around to it. I did delete the app from my phone though, so I'm not tempted to scroll it all day (I just scroll Lemmy all day now instead).

There are a few cannabis communities I'm involved with there I haven't found elsewhere. Specifically the one discussing mail order cannabis options here in Canada. There's so much to chose from, it's nice to be part of an active community where we all try things and post about it.

Yes, some of the posts on r/TrueOffMyChest and r/Advice are wild, and can't get anything like that here, yet.

Mostly for the odd Windows 11 troubleshooting because the Windows support world is the most bloated shit ever. So many solutions that solve fuck all.

I will visit the site because there is too much good information to ignore. Using Libreddit and hoping that Reddit doesn't kill that service.

I just use a mirror to lurk, but lately just one subreddit hasn't really moved much, and it was the main way I was able to get information for them as it's otherwise scattered across Twitter and Youtube with a lot of Japanese information.

This topic has opened my eyes to how many of you still have your foot in the door with Reddit. I’m shocked, honestly.

I glanced the first time and thought this said, Do you stand for nothing? I'm like wow way to come right out that gate

Didn’t bother deleting my account…I also don’t bother going there anymore (every since Apollo died).

I have not deleted my Reddit account, but I was perma-banned from there for stating a fact about what Elon Musk and his Boring Company made of all random things LMFAO!

Oh well, I don't open it for much of anything anymore, but after about 7 years of posts and comments, I'd like to at least go back through my comment and post history if I ever so care to.

I've looked at the rebelliousness a few times on a few subreddits

I still use RIF. It's read only, and works just fine for lurking.

Yes, for r/diypedals. If somebody creates the community on Lemmy (I don't have time to moderate, or I would've created it myself) I'll definitely close my account there. I don't care if the community starts small, I need the sense of community.

I haven't deleted it. Probably won't. So far I've gone there for the communities dedicated to my two stupid phone games that I still play.

I have deleted my Reddit account, but I am still using RedReader plus LibReddit to access the few Subs that do not have Federated alternatives for now. But my usage of Reddit is pretty low. Just waiting for some Kbin app like Artemis so that I can fully start using Kbin}

Yes, for some niche communities that don't see the same level of activity on the fediverse yet. (Also post-episode discussions on a couple TV shows, for the same reason.) I don't find myself participating or even voting anymore, and my general-purpose browsing to see what's new has all gone to Lemmy.

I just can't bring myself to delete the account. I care too much about internet preservation to do it; I know I'm not the only one who's gone looking for an answer on an older forum and run into deleted comments that would've answered my question.

To keep in contact with someone I owe for helping me out, and for trying to trade away my old Humblebundle keys. Other than that, I've shifted my doomscrolling addiction to Kbin.

I'm overseeing the onboarding of new mods, even though I'm unable to effectively moderate without a functional mobile app.

Look, if you search up FPGA issues on the internet, the best you get is forum posts literally 10 years old with one or no replys. However, I went on reddit and posted a hypothetical issue with all of my relevant information, and one day later the guy literally posted the exact chapter in the (hidden) User Guide that was relevant. The other 10 comments had other platform solutions that all had uses.

This is an engineering discipline with less stackoverflow questions than the Discord API (20305 vs 6000+6000). And because HDLs are cool like that, they literally have parts of the programming language that will make it unable to work in real life designs, so half of the answers will screw you. The subreddit understands this and will break down every little gotcha in detail because there is no chance in hell you will find it elsewhere.

If I’m looking something up, sometimes the answer lies in a post or comment on Reddit. When that happens I revisit, however I’m always logged out now and never engage, comment, etc. beyond reading what I need and leaving.

@beefbaby182 Deleted all comments & posts from reddit but not the account. Still visits old reddit without login because search engine results will take me there.

I'm happy on Lemmy and not using Reddit for any of my actual browsing or posting.

I like to look once a day at what a mess r/all or the homepage (not logged in) has become, and report content that is not labelled correctly as nsfw or other problematic content that might cause issues... I mean, won't someone think of the advertisers with their adverts sitting next to that stuff!

As more communities remove NSFW status, it just seems like the problem gets worse - almost like they are struggling to moderate content. How could this happen!

(More seriously, there is more actually objectionable stuff popping up on r/all because it is pulling from different subs now. I've seen more hate, racism etc. That genuinely should be reported if you go back and see it not only because there shouldn't be a place for it, but also the approach Reddit has taken has had obvious detrimental effect to the content and the more reports the better.

I feel like Reddit must be in a bit of trouble as they are letting quality and control plummet and this is the first thing people see on the homepage when not logged in or on r/all.)

I have also repointed the sub I look after to encourage people to come here by linking itin the welcome message, side bar, and a pinned post.

I haven't deleted my account but then I was a lurker so the account is not much to look at 🙃. I uninstalled my third party app (infinity). I have a self-hosted libreddit account and use that to anonymously watch the site burn with my large bucket of 🍿.

Only time I've been back is to check the Ukraine subreddit but I figured anything worth hearing about will be in the news so I stopped doing that.

I keep it for r/watchexchange. Nobody has written a sales moderator bot for Lenny/kbin, and I don't even know if the apis are mature enough for someone to do that. So communities like that will probably stay with reddit until they can't or the alternative is mature enough

I check r/onepiece because I want spoilers and theories. The last 3 years hasn't had any theories anyways. If anyone knows of a community here where I can get spoilers and theories, please let me know

My accounts were all permanently suspended, so I don't think I can delete them. I still have saved posts I check on.

I haven't logged into my account at all. RiF still gives me access to the feed, logged out, no ads or crappy ui. It's basically a glorified search engine. I have only used it to research some equipment ftmp. No interaction.

Lemmy is where I like to have discussion and interact with people and I spend my time here. If I do happen to see something, I try to be mindful to perhaps share it and get discourse going on here, with you guys.

I still check a local subreddit occasionally. Lemmy, unfortunately, doesn't have the userbase to support localized communities and going to the local subreddit is still better than going to local Facebook groups.

I'll also occasionally check the LEGO subreddit to see new builds. There's a LEGO Lemmy community, but it doesn't have as many people in it as the subreddit.

I haven't actually posted since the API Crisis hit, though. I just had to go in with the official app since Boost was finally cut off and it was even worse than I remembered. I'll still stop by Reddit every so often, but it'll be a "once or twice a week" visitation instead of "multiple times every day."

It still works for me (Infinity), and there are some small subreddits that I occasionally visit. I'm holding out until the bitter end, but I am using lemmy waay more now.

I haven’t done anything on Reddit that would have required an account (post/comment/vote/etc) but I haven’t deleted my account either.

I’m honestly not sure what the point of deleting your account would be?

Just to delete the comments that reddit restored after I deleted everything in my account.

I haven't 100% given up on maybe, just maybe, baconreader might start working again.

It's the only way I log in to reddit, and have not been back since the 1st.

In a month or so, I'll log in through the web browser and figure out how to delete my comments and then remove the account.

Happy enough here that I've had no desire to log in to reddit.

I haven't cared enough to delete it. Before I would always have a tab open for Reddit and would check it from my phone (on Apollo) throughout the day. Now I only browse Lemmy/Mastrodon/RSS, but if I google something and it comes up with a Reddit link, I have no qualms clicking it to see if it has the information I need.

I don't intend to ever comment or post on Reddit again, and my page views have gone from many per day to once or twice a week.

Yes. There's more contents there. Let's face it, it's empty here.

I'm there for r/Splatoon mostly. The splatoon community hasn't really grown on the fediverse outside a few small mags and instances. There are a few other smaller communities I still follow there as well, but I barely touch r/all these days. It's a husk of its former self, and I already get my news and updates on current events elsewhere.

I also spend time on Tildes as well as it's a great place for nuanced discussion about specific topics. My overall goal is to have a variety of communities and platforms I can visit all throughout the internet like I did back in 2008, rather than be stuck on one platform.

I still have mine and there are a few subreddits I still visit in particular for news on what happens in Iran and the state of the protests there. Same reason I still have a Twitter account

You do not need a reddit account to view subs. I have deleted my reddit account a few years ago and could still access it via sync for reddit (until the api changes) and infinity.

I still browse r/wallstreetbets as I haven’t found a replaceable community here yet

I still use reddit as well as lemmy. There are lots of communities that haven’t migrated, and probably never will.

For health questions/searches only.

I’m mostly curious to see how things pan out for reddit, but there are still some communities on there that haven’t moved here or the fediverse yet so until they do I’ll just use old.reddit with adblocker because fuck spez
