I have unfortunately not fully divorced myself from it, but now that I have to use the official app, I just feel like I am inundated with posts that their algorithm decides I should see. Literally all I see is variations on AITA or other drama subs (amiwrong, twohottakes, redditonwiki, bestofredditorupdates, AITAH, etc...) and it's just exhausting and boring. I used to enjoy reddit because I felt like I came away more educated (on some level) but now it just feels like Facebook. Oh and a shit ton of ads that absolutely suck.
Yea it is exhausting! Oh my God lol I'm gunna unsub from those and the relationship sub to. I use to Love them but now it's just overwhelming and Stresses me out
I still go back to Reddit for a few niche communities that haven’t migrated to the Fediverse. I will never go back to randomly perusing it though. Lemmy has filled that function for me.

I haven't been back there since they killed 3rd party apps.
