Are you 100% lemmy/mbin/piefed for your forum/thread life or are you still using reddit for something?

    Close to nothing, at this point. Sometimes I search for answers to technical questions and find them on Reddit, but that’s about it.

    I don’t use it at all directly, but occasionally an answer generated on Reddit will pop up on a search I’m doing on a different site

    Not much. There are some tech communities that I still monitor there to keep up with the general public. and then i check my local city subreddit sometimes.

    But mostly use rss, and then lurk lemmy.

    No reddit account, but I use it when searching for results that I want answers from users who know how to solve it. For instance I searched how to unlock the full version of XBLA Roms on Xenia (Xbox 360 emulator).

    Found the answer due to users actually using it. It’s quicker and more efficient in most cases vs a generic search engine answer or a bunch of similar but off topic search results you get now and days

    I’m afraid I’m still on reddit quite a bit. Most communities have a lot more activity there. Rust, nixos, luthiery, local and state level subreddits. r/fiddle, and other instrument subreddits have more activity.

    That said theres a lot of chaff that I wouldn’t miss. r/sysadmins is all removed about corporate work, r/machinists the same but blue collar. r/hiking is all shoe posts and gear. Political subreddits have lots of activity but its 90% rage farming.

    Technical communities are strong on lemmy, despite their smaller size. And its refreshing to read the super far left diatribes, I don’t get that stuff elsewhere.

    I actually managed to come off it completely. Even though Lemmy is 10000x smaller, it still scratches the same itch for me.
