There are simply some communities I can’t find on Lemmy. For example, I use subreddits based on admissions to specific colleges that would never be able to function on Lemmy due to its size. I’d much prefer to abandon Reddit altogether but the information I need is usually only there.
Nope.
Engagement numbers help the IPO, this in turn would put more $$ in u/spez pocket and that I will not support.
You’re lucky if the communities you have followed survived intact or unaffected. The tenor of my feed was changing for the worse before the API protests. When I left, after? It was a shithole.
Sure, there are communities that I miss, that are absent, or have weak, or hard to find presences. But the solution isn’t to go lurk and buff those engagement metrics, in my somewhat Reddit hostile opinion.
Sometimes, but only in one narrow way: Reddit shows up in search results for me, and sometimes I specifically ask it to.
Like “is product X any good?” gives me garbage marketing and clickbait, so I try “is product X any good? site:reddit.com” and I find some helpful threads, often several years old.
But yeah, not logged in, not interacting.
yes, without an account just for local/niche subs that don’t exist anywhere else
and that only because I have rif working via revanced.
if I am ever forced to see their shitty ads I’ll stop doing even that
not sure how it works really, I had to create an app API key and input that into revanced and it just worked. I just followed the steps it was pretty easy.
can’t log in, but participating there is pointless anyway
Only if I have a specific question, like is this tent better than that tent. But I don’t log in and I haven’t since Boost stopped working.
I do miss it sometimes, but time spent on my phone has gone way down and that can only be an improvement.
