Reddit usage metrics fall thanks to CEO's plan to boost revenue

I keep accidentally typing "red.." into by browser and visiting the site through muscle memory alone! So I'm definitely still contributing to the daily visitor metrics they seem to be showing here.

But as of yesterday I've completely made the switch. All in on Lemmy to fill that void Reddit used to.

Here's to hoping more people make the switch, instead of putting up with Reddit thinking there's no viable alternatives (like I did just a few days ago)!

I switched the reddit app on my phone with a link to kbin because I kept instinctually clicking on it lol

I deleted Reddit from my browser history. That stopped this issue right quick.

I type faster than I think, most times.. So I'll likely need to update my localhost to kick reddit traffic straight to lemmy :D

Somewhat related, may I interest you in this auto-redirect addon? It redirects reddit links to either teddit or libreddit, among other things:
