      It stopped working for me with a vpn. They are really pushing people away at this point.

      I guess it’s an issue is profitability. I think long term, these companies can’t survive. It really depends on a community support.

      Why not?

      (Also look at the community you are replying in… What use is there on quesrioning why people use reddit on the c/reddit, it’s like when people say “why are you using 4chan” on r/4chan lol)

          I mean, yeah somewhat, I’m just pointing out the idiocy of asking that question in a place specifically designed to talk about those places.

          Also, regardless of how bad the sites as a whole are, making the transition fully is just plain too difficult, there are communities that haven’t moved and no matter if you are putting effort to have them here, you won’t be able to get a question about a program answered if there are 3 active people on a community

            On top of that while I did quit mostly cold turkey after Apollo shut down, putting Reddit at the end of internet searches especially for games (looking at you planetside and V Rising) really helps me manage to this exact piece of niche information I need

            Oh absolutely. I still go back for the occasional check-in with my favorite small communities. But I basically never browse /r/all or any of the top subreddits that used to keep me coming back multiple times per day.

      I go to Reddit for literally one thing every week- a schedule I won’t see anywhere else. I just look at the schedule and leave. But I still need Reddit to see that schedule.

      I’m not really using it like before, i jump there sometimes from search results and am logged in automatically…

      I haven’t deleted my account yet, because idk, there are some things I’d like to be able to look up.

    One of the advantages of being on old reddit like a hopeless geezer is not getting to see that shit.

    Infinity for reddit was working for me but today I installed android 14 and its now asking to pay for subscription. I am now officially of Lemmy. No more reddit for me.

    Meh, I opened Reddit just to lurk on the only subreddit I would post on. Recap for that community reminded me it was all one big circle jerk… but now with more advertisements.

    My recap would show all of my accounts go inert right around the time I jumped over to lemmy (circa beans, Titan implosion).
