Not if my app stops working. It's as simple as that. And I am not going to use their app.

No. I habitually opened RIF so I removed the icon and replaced it with Jerboa, and I've found, thanks to the smaller scale, that I move on to something else or read a book sooner.

Doesn't take long to move on really.

I'm hoping the fediverse will take off once it's easier to find communities to add to favourites. It'd be good to find things like ELI5 and AMA appear.

Unlikely at this stage. I feel incredibly disappointed from how Reddit themselves have handled it by basically ignoring the blackout. I'm here and downloaded Jerboa. Time for a change after 12 years

I will still use Reddit when information I am looking for doesnt exist on Lemmy. I am setting up communities for things that dont yet seem to exist on Lemmy. This should satisfy my "things I like" meter if they grow.

I just went to the sub I'm the sole mod for, opened it up after the 2 day blackout. Then flicked across to 'all' and saw the reddit CEO making 'this will pass' noises so went back to my sub and closed it up again. I might open it up tomorrow again and ask if any of the 1500ish members want to mod it to keep it going. [I don't see why my boycott has to be anyone elses issue] or I might just let it die...see how I feel in the morning.

I think it will still be valuable for a while as search results, but when my app stops working I doubt I'll continue the mindless content consumption. In the past I've tried to change to other reddit apps and they just aren't as familiar so I always go back. I'm not going to install the official reddit app so that takes away the addiction, I'm hoping.

No, I don't see the point without Bacon Reader.

Nope. Just deleted my 10+ year old reddit account and my thousands of comments

I'm all in on Lemmy!

It's becoming less and less likely, the more that Reddit keeps on messing up. Threatening moderators and undeleting posts??

I didn't know there was an alternative to /r/NZ. Just stumbled on this. Will be interesting to see if it gains traction.

Nope. Have scrubbed all my accounts, deleted them, deleted Baconreader. Lemmy so far is cool!

So long as RIF dies my interest in Reddit will die with it.

Only to agitate for the indefinite blackout https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/148ks6u/indefinite_blackout_next_steps_polling_your/

Haven't deleted my account, but so far I've been happy browsing the various communities, honestly with the size of reddit, it was so anonymous that it had far surpassed critical mass, so the fediverse doesn't really have to be large to make it a viable alternative

The sexy John Oliver pictures at r/pics is a hell of a temptation to go back haha

Reddit has slowly descended into more and more niche groups for me, and I'm unsubbed from almost all defaults. I'll miss local or special interest groups like r/DIYnz, r/PersonalFinanceNZ, r/Chch. Maybe even r/newzealand. And some hobby groups like r/PrintSF, and r/cricket. I also mod a hobby subreddit with around 80k subs which looks to be voting to stay open, and I think I'll probably be stepping away from it.

It'll be interesting to see where these small subs end up heading - Lemmy seems like a good option.

Probably not, seems like my excuse to go outside and touch grass... yet here I am.... 🙄

I’m staying away for now, it was cool but I don’t need it in my life. The memes on lemmy honestly seem better so far anyway.

I've stuck my nose in a couple of times but I've not interacted and I've forced myself to not just "open the tab".

I now open the Play Books app when I've got a few minutes.

I doubt I'll go back. The internet is vast, and with places like Reddit, Instagram, Twitter, etc, it's easy to get stuck in that looping cycle of "well there's nothing on Reddit, I'll check Insta. There's nothing on insta, i'll check Twitter. There's nothing on Twitter, I'll check Reddit"

It's a shame that StumbleUpon is no longer around, that was an amazing tool to open your eyes to new resources and sites.

I hope that most of the subs I used to frequent eventually pop up here (many already are here in some form) but if not I think I'd still rather be here with all that's been going on over there lately. BUT often there's good trouble shooting content or info about super specific niches which I might occasionally refer to. At the end of the day I'm just looking for a place to discuss / read about communities I'm interested in and I can see this providing that even IF it never reaches the critical mass of reddit.

Same as a few others have said, if the apps go, I go.

I subscribed to quite a few NZ based subreddits, some of which contain a lot of local/NZ specific information and local expert users who answer questions. I will miss that (I should go through my saved posts on RIF and back them up).

I'm staying off reddit for now as I'm having fun looking for communities on lemmy. I'll see how it goes, but I'm liking this place now more and more.

I'll lurk, and also I kinda don't want to disappoint the dragon hunters

I check in about once a day from RIF. But once it is dead at the end of the month that's it.

I refuse to install the app on my phone, so when Sync stops working I'll stop browsing there. I'll probably still pop over on the web version (https://old.reddit.com) for the subs I like.

But I have enabled my ad blocker now. Only sites I like get the exemption.

I'm tempted to bail from it, I left Twitter for Mastodon & never went back and its kinda been really nice to be honest. Way less doom scrolling. Reddit is a bit different in that I was there for the specific communities I was interested in, so I'd be more sad if those folks didn't move as well.

Unfortunately there is a lot of valuable knowledge and information that's been built up over the life of Reddit that is useful so I'll still use it for the wealth of info on even the most niche of topics it has but I probably won't mindless browse r/all for hours on end like I used to. I'll try not to anyway lol.

I plan to stay away for a bit. I’ve already deleted Apollo off my phone and have it replaced with Mlem and Memmy.

I mostly used Reddit for Football (Soccer) highlights, so I'm really hoping that Lemmy will provide the highlights for the games I follow. I've subscribed to a few communities that have potential.

I also enjoyed other subreddits such as instant_regret, nextfuckinglevel, yesyesyesnoyes for the LOLs but I can live without that. I'll find my LOLs in other places.

I have already deleted my account, but I was mostly a lurker so I lost little of value. Planning to stay away or at least not make it an active part of my day.
