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:

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
14 years here… before the Digg migration even
15 y 9m 34k karma, but I didn't prioritize Reddit over other sites until the Digg migration. I liked Sidewiki better the Digg. Reddit served as a good place to centralize comments around a Url, but sidewiki would've practically had the comments attached to the site being discussed, via a browser plugin.
I like Lemmy and am eager to try android clients for it.
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.
+1
Present. My oldest account just had it's 13th cake day.
Present, 11 year old account when I left. Not "deleted" because I'm lazy, but certainly abandoned.

Still participate in a few communities sparingly. My activity is single points of what it used to be.
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.
Thirteen years, roughly 800k karma.
Nuked it all when RIF went down.
10 years, 120k karma
The changes would have had no immediate affect on me, but it’s the mods that made the place useable. I just can’t see it working after alienating so many of the people wrangling content
However I also expected to be next on the chopping block. I prefer to use a web browser and the constant nag to use the app was getting irritating, and they seemed to be eating away at the old UI to push us to the fiasco that replaced it (it probably doesn’t help that I use Safari on iPad and their attempt to get fancy is less compatible)
12 years here on my oldest account
My cake day was July 11 2011 so almost 12 years to the day when I left.
At least 15 years here
13 years here. Spent a few years before that just lurking.
I put in something like 11 years. It's kong enough to understand that platforms can and will die in 10+ years.
