About 13 years. I've been wanting to leave to something else for some time. Dropped it once lemmy became viable for me to stay. I have popped back on for a minute or two here and there. But it's just becoming increasingly foreign and unpalatable. The more they change it, the less interest I have in ever looking at it again.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I've not fully left but I'm spending a lot more time on here and Aether than I am on Reddit
11 years for me.
12 years on site, but only really started getting active over the past couple of years. Considered modding, but didn't feel like I could justify the time commitment as a hobby at this stage. For something new/different/noteworthy, I may have to rethink that stance.
12+ years, Digg->Reddid refugee here
I was part of the great Digg migration. I won't say that I've sworn off Reddit completely, but I will say that I start here on Lemmy. The volume of content on Reddit is still so huge compared to Lemmy that it is likely to take a lot longer than the mass switch that I was sort of hoping for away from Reddit.
Think I'm in the teens and stopped using Reddit
12 here, account still exists so i can continue to delete my old posts every time they restore them
12 years here, quit reddit.
10 years when I deleted the account.
Now just tears in the rain.
14 years with a reddit account, I lurked for a couple years before that. I lurked on Digg from 05-07 before a nerdy friend introduced me to Reddit. I've never moderated, I mostly read and contribute to communities about local news or communities relevant to my hobbies.
My oldest, out of 5, account was 13y. I fucking loved reddit, but the last 5-6 years it was still easily 1-2hours a day but on tablet and phone. Always RIF. Since RIF is gone I only have being back on my porn account through browser.
Hit my 10 years mark in June. Left at the end of that month when Bacon Reader app could no longer function. Not looking back. I was an active browser, commenter, and occasional poster. Never molded tho.
14 years, here. From the Digg exodus.
I don’t know how long I was on Reddit… more than 8 years because it was before my first kid was born. Probably at least ten. Not signing in to check though.
13 years of daily use. Reddit is dead in the water now.
12 years. Deleted my account. Fuck em
Deleted my 11 year old account. Stepped down as mod
Redditor for ten years. Still have my account but just waiting for the right time to delete the content and just let it sit idle.

11+ years, letting it go. This is my home now. Man I just wanted to lol at memes and look at tits and now I have ads every 3 posts. 1 of those three always seems to be a repost too, it got out of hand
what was reddit, can someone describe it.. was that like napster or something.. but yeah, i had a 10 year account or something.. now they couldn't pay me to post to their site..
I don't really want to think about it being that long, considering how quickly I up and left as soon as RiF was supposed to shut down. Not relying on Reddit for Google results is practically impossible for me.
7 years here. Glad I left reddit for lemmy. I will never sign up for a centralized social media platform again, I've learned my lesson.
Fuck u/spez.
Me
Sadly I still have to visit reddit for various things. Mostly just for niche questions I have for Google that are best answered on Reddit. Which is a lot.
13 years, here
Just logged in at Reddit to confirm--12 years.
And my whole homepage there is filled with posts about sex. I don't log in there for weeks and it's gone way down hill.
Would have been 12 years this month, I haven’t deleted my account yet but I haven’t been back since end of June. While I do miss some of my old communities, I loved Apollo and Alien Blue before that and won’t go back. I posted pretty frequently and most always from mobile. I’m working on deleting the old account here soon.
Yep 10+ and I left about a week after RIF went down and deleted my account about a week later. Haven't looked back.
8 years here, 90% left
8 years for me. Cut my usage down by around 95% I'd say. Only when I need something specific do I go back
Honestly I don't mind as much as I thought I'd do
Almost to 10. 9yrs 6 months before I left.
I was a 10 year lurker. Actually post a bit on here..
11+ years with an account and 15 or so as a lurker checking in
Redditor for almost about 12 years now. Signed up on Sun 28th Aug 06:12:41 2011. Nuking my account as soon as I can get my data take-out.
