With the reddit API debacle far in the review, I’m wondering if any of you went back to the platform.

Without an account and on a web browser? Yes.
Do I regret it? Also yes. That site barely works half the time anymore. It’s kinda funny how my only real choices of browsing Reddit are either super bloated or super ugly (the latter refers to old.reddit.com). Want neither? As of 2023 you can’t.
Yes, because niche communities are much smaller here if not non-existant. Communities about Classical Chinese, poetry, various academic humanities subjects and the like isn’t exactly thriving on here. I try to use the fediverse when I’m able to though, and also try to support smaller communities, but yeah…
I was banned, so I cannot.
I lurk in my city’s subreddit. It briefly closed as part of the protests, but the Lemmy community that was created at the time is inactive.
Deleted my account the day third-party apps were killed. I do browse it on the phone daily using Libreddit though, but only specific communities. I also have LibRedirect setup on my computer, so it redirects me to an Libreddit instance when I click on Reddit links from search results. There’s still a lot of valuable knowledge there so it is hard to avoid.
The porn is still better over there so…
Using reddit on PC and lemmy on mobile since the reddit app sucks
Yes but primarily via RSS feeds to keep up with news
Only time there is because Google links to an answer there. Other than that, nope.
Same
No
I don’t log in or post there any more, but there are still a few occasional subreddits that don’t have analogs here that I’ll sporadically browse anonymously.
I still use it if searching for information on a search engine; like, doing a site search on Reddit for answers on certain things.
I don’t expect to be going back unless something blows up here. For most purposes, the Threadiverse has passed the traffic threshold I need to be engaged.
I use old for some of the technical subreddits like cisco, Fortinet, and sysadmin.
When searching for info, yes. But just daily use and scrolling no
Exactly.
I didn’t delete my account, but I’ve never logged back in after they killed 3rd party apps last year and don’t visit unless it’s a direct result from a search.
Same, but I did delete my account.
Still will read results anonymously via a search tho.
I just deleted all my content but didn’t delete my account. Agreed though there is some useful information on there
I download it every now and then. But usually I end up deleting it because of the sheer amount of propaganda and advertising. Like give me people’s ideas, not some idiot who’s famous because he did X and Y.
