Welcome to Lemmy for the last reddit users, that used old.reddit, looks like we are complete now. The rest of reddit are noobs and bots.
I came here three years ago when they killed the API and Reddit is Fun on mobile. I refuse to use their mobile site but still used their desktop. If they kill old.reddit I guess I'm done then.
You can do it. Just delete your account. I did it. I live without Reddit now, and I'm happy. After a while you won't miss that cesspool
i only use it on the browser. got banned last year during the purges. you can make another acc after a while(unknown), with a fork, that reddit is not used to. i just use the niche subs, no interest in the main subs(where most are happening)
Same as me, except I never went back. I don't spend as much time here as I used to on reddit, but most of that was wasted time anyway.
Same here.
BTW: technically they just killed it.
Same here but when they killed Joey App. But I haven't gone back for anything and refuse to use it at all. It's so bad every time my wife shows me shit on there.
Used Lemmy for a while but still browsed reddit logged out a bit. I noticd this recently so its only Lemmy now.
BTW: there is libredirect browser extension which redirects Reddit to libreddit instances.
I am saying this, so people use that instead of giving up and logging in.
Nope, not listening. I am using the increased friction as a reason for giving up and not using reddit at all.
Yeah that's even better. I think the libreddit code could perhaps be used to also to help bootstrap some communities on Lemmy (by just posting the same links).
Or maybe that's already happening?
Now that sort of thing could be more useful
