Many of us here stopped a while back. For me, it was the API thing a couple of years ago. But it’s still useful to check reddit website for info - there’s just so many answers to so many questions on there. But fuck using their app.
It took time to get to this point. The software had to mature and a lot of people wouldn’t stay around with so few choices of communities, but you can count on /u/spez to keep enshitifying Reddit, so Lemmy stays growing.
That’s my situation. I nuked my comment history with a script when it was obvious they wanted to profit off of ai scraping. I still look at old reddit.com in my desktop, but I don’t touch it on mobile.
Yeah I have looked at old a few times, reddit is shit but internet searches are often even shitter these days with so fucking many AI generated websites.
If I know a better source I will search for that. Started growing some of my own food recently so anything plant related I try and check RHS first.

I would have switched sooner if I had known about lemmy, but been here over a year now.

Then there’s some of us who simply got kicked out of the Reddit realm altogether
The API thing was the final straw for me as well.
