Be honest, do you still use reddit? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don't look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I'd go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I got my uBlock Origin ready to kill all the ads. That shitty website will not get a cent out of me.

What about you? Do you still use reddit?

I feel the same way. It was weird breaking the habit of clicking the RiF app when I unlock my screen, but after a while the need just went away.

Unfortunately I've been reeled back to RIF because you can apply a patch now that allows you to login. It's hard to resist the familiar look of that app.

Ahhh, I'm not sure if I should let that addiction back in!

I can't even find RIF on the app store anymore, did they take it down?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's available if you can find the direct link to the playstore. I have a link to the golden platinum version.

I put Memmy where Apollo was and I didn’t even have to retrain myself

I do find that I use the fediverse less, as my “front page” gets stale much quicker. But this is not only something I can probably fix, but also don’t mind because it reminds me how much I duck out into social media which helps me say “ah fuck it” and do something else.

Exactly the same here. But I have a feeling the stream of content will come sooner then later too
