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

I use reddit as a comparison when explaining lemmy and the fediverse to the uninitiated.
@n7gifmdn @Vandals_handle “it’s like if reddit worked like email”
If the answer to my question is in a Reddit post, I’m going to look at it but I’m not logging in and posting.
Google search clicks. Forwarded posts from Reddit.
On occasion I’ll check in on some niche hobby boards that don’t really have an active Lemmy variant, or large archive of content yet. Sometimes you want to see a flashlight beamshot comparison of a Nichia 519a 5000k led compared to a 5700k from a particular manufacturer, and it’s just not on Lemmy.
Note that while that’s probably true, if you’re interested and not aware, we do have [email protected] here.
I got shadow banned for no reason, so only Lemmy for me. I appealed for so many times on Reddit, yet no freakin’ answer.

this feed feels more like reddit front page used to be, the feed there sucks, I still use my custom feed ocasionally, blender and comic discussion is non existant here, I have been using blenders forum and league of comic geeks more.
News about my city. TTRPGs. Home repair.
I’ve tried to kick up conversation in appropriate communities here, but I don’t get comments.
Same. There just aren’t enough users.
how big of a town do you live in where Reddit is a good source for local news?!?
Only for communities which are not available/active enough on fediverse. Haven’t scrolled reddit’s algorithm since they killed all the good apps though.
Search results (usually for specific video games, though some politics and history stuff is also from there) and a small amount of pornography.
Haven’t added content or even logged in to an account since moving to the Threadiverse, though.
EDIT: I think the most-recent content I looked at was earlier this week, when I got search results regarding discussion on Nazi Germany’s war plans for fighting the US in World War II:
Whenever it comes up in a web search and I absolutely need it for whatever information I’m looking for, mainly troubleshooting stuff
yeah, sadly there’s a lot of niche technical problems that have only ever been answered as reddit posts. about the only time I go there either.
Work stuff, I work in a niche industry and subreddit is decent for questions.
Don’t use an account. Use it for searching for answers via site:reddit.com etc.
Sometimes it’s in the top few search results. Otherwise I don’t .
