The only reason I honestly go back is purely for the destiny 2 related subs.

I literally only ever use it if I do a search and a Reddit link pops up in the results. Even then, I try to avoid it if possible. I don't post on Reddit or interact with it in any other way.

Have a look at lemmit.online, it copies reddit's content through a bot and deserves to be more known.

When Reddit decided to backstab its app developers / community, I just full-on deleted my account. Makes it a lot easier to not go back when you actually remove the thing you'd go back to.

Think of it like recovering from alcoholism: are you more prone to relapse if you keep a bottle of some familiar brand of booze in your fridge? Or if you actually get it out of your house?

Sure you could go back to the store and buy another bottle (make a new account), but that hassle will help reinforce your decision not to. Keeping it in arm's reach - different story.

Delete your account. Delete your reddit browser extentions, saved passwords, bookmarks, mobile apps... scrub that shit from your devices. You'll find yourself much less tempted to relapse, and it's liberating as fuck.

I miss a few features from Reddit; but I'm not making a new account and setting RES and such back up again to get them. Fuck that noise.

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 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an issue content wise, sure there is some decent informational on the site but, I find a lot of information on it to be outdated anyway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 did reinstall Infinity a few times. But the limit on viewed posts is a good way to keep me away.

When I finish watching a tv show, I go to the related sub to see best memes. Nobody can take that away from reddit.

Only problem i have with lemmy is that after scrolling for a bit i end up wading through posts with 0 comments and 2 upvotes, which are inevitably just links to something i do not give a singular toss about.

But that's honestly kinda just good, it forces me to not just stare at my computer nonstop.

the only content im missing is from 1001albumsgenerator subreddit because that was already a pretty small subreddit and theres no way itll get to that size on here. so i check every few days to see whats on there

Nope. I actually post link instead of just waiting for people to post them.

Also, sorting by "new" helps a lot

It's always the same thing, why is there no post aging ? Is there just not enough content ? Lemmy needs a better sorting algorithm with more options for control by the user. Something to control the aging value. Also automatically aggregate communities from several servers, like every /c/book community on the fediverse.

Haven't been back

DDG search still pull it up, so I have to go out of my way to search for stuff here first

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.

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.
