I still use reddit on the browser, but I don’t want their app. I simply don’t enjoy the experience.

As long as old.reddit stays arround I’ll still be there from time to time. But my commenting dropped from ~5 comments per day to ~5 comments per month and my clicks drooped to ~1% of what it used to be. I simply used it much more on mobile.

I use an app on Android called stealth to view Reddit but I cannot vote or comment. I’d like to see Lemmy/kbin grow enough that the niche communities move here.
