Yes, big time. It feels almost as if half of the comments are bots, propping up spez and crapping on the mods who supported the blackout. Unfortunately, there are still a few subreddits that have no equivalent here just yet and I end up having to revisit reddit to get the info I need on an ongoing basis. I started two communities (Signal Messenger and Amex) here myself in an effort to help with transition but so far there hasn't been much happening on that front. I even went as far as messaging the mods on the /r/ equivalents but none of them wanted to move over, or even give it a shot as a subscriber. Nevertheless, I am not giving up and still feel there is growth to be had. Perhaps once the apps die off on reddit, we will see additional users transitioning.

@yunggwailo That's good to hear. I nuked my accounts and haven't been back to that particular dumpster fire.
I stopped using reddit.. so I have no idea!
I still use it and all I see is useless memes. All the helpful stuff is private.
I felt Reddit's quality started going downhill around 2021, which is not long after ~~they introduced the official app and~~ started allowing Google logins.
EDIT: Looks like the official app's been around longer than I thought. :O
Is the official app really that new??? I thought it was around since way before.
It turns out it came out in 2016. I was thinking 2018, but I was wrong. https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/official-reddit-app/
In a way, it's been even longer than that, since they bought out Alien Blue in 2014, according to Wikipedia
Oh, that timing makes more sense haha all this time and the app still sucks balls.
I don't know, because I'm normally here rather than there, but you could test and find out. Take some screenshots before and after and do a double-blind test to see if you can tell.
I still enjoy /r/cfb and /r/collegebaseball
Otherwise, it seems the entire site has devolved into nothing but new bot accounts posting from the big book of repetitive karma gaining questions on /r/AskReddit. Seems everything else is a ghost town.
Who checks reddit anymore? I don't check the site at all. even if they did let third party apps back u/spez could always go back on his word. lemmy and the #fediverse where here to catch us when we became stranded!
reddit has been going down hill for over a decade at this point. if something better was a available it would have died a long time ago
