Sort of. I'm on Imgur nearly every day I know the two sites use the same images. RANDOM MODE FOREVER.

 

Seriously. I've been using random mode for years and still haven't run into the same images more than  once or twice. IT NEVER ENDS.

I've never made an account there, though I do browse the more risque subreddits from time to time. Just not interested in it.

I occasionally browse league-based subreddits like r/UrgotMains or r/EkkoMains, mostly because I plan to play League of Legends again at some point (I had played up until early Season 7). 

 

But I won't really use it because I've had bad experiences with most subreddits. I understand it isn't just one community, but Reddit is the most toxic website on the whole of the internet, even over forums with oppressive authoritarian mods.

I use it all the time! Mostly browsing r/GuildWars2, r/StarvstheForcesofEvil, and r/DokiDokiLiteratureClub. I also have my browser set to open on r/all to see what's blowing up.

The "Reddit community" is generally okay. It kinda depends which subreddit you're on. For example a lot of people here used it for League of Legends, so of course it's going to be a bit more toxic than normal. The best or most well-behaved subs are normally for niche games, and fandoms that don't really have forums to use already. It's not going to be for everyone definitely, but if there's a topic or piece of media you really want to talk about, then Reddit is a good place to start.

The worst I've encountered from that site wasn't even a League or Political subreddit. (Though I have to say r/Talonmains is pretty bad, and so is r/The_Donald), It was the Paladins subreddit. As I posted in the "Worst Troll I Ever Met thread":

The Paladins subreddit community. Let's just say I got verbally attacked MULTIPLE times over the course of only TWO DAYS because I disagreed with their perception of the Paladins meta. It doesn't help that it's not just one member... IT'S AT LEAST HALF OF THE PEOPLE ON AN ENTIRE SUBREDDIT. It's so bad I'm thinking of leaving Paladins and going BACK to games like Smite or EVEN LEAGUE OF LEGENDS. Not the only reason (Almost every patch since OB54, Hi-Rez clearly (Should be obvious to anyone with a brain at this point, apparently except for the toxic sheep on the subreddit) trying to avoid the vast majority of the game's playerbase...)

I have yet to see anything on any other Reddit story this bad to be quite frank, and that says something.

The only time I get on reddit it when I look something up and reddit has an answer, which is quite frequent! So I don't have an account, but I still use it a lot.

Only sometimes. I don't have an account... oh wait I do actually! But I only used it for a month or so a couple years ago on the Pokemon X/Y friend safari subreddit in order to exchange friend safaris for the game. But that's all I used it for :wacko: 

When I end up on reddit, it's usually through a google search, but every once in awhile when I'm bored I'll browse the answers to some "askreddit" topics.

I use Reddit a lot. Usually a good source for news, art and discussions, depending on what sub you're on.

I'm a regular on /r/AdventureTime, /r/Digimon, /r/Aliens, /r/WantToBelieve and /r/WorldBuilding. I used to be a regular on /r/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil and /r/StevenUniverse but...those subs kind of hit a dive in quality in recent years. My experiences on /r/PhineasAndFerb has also been strangely pessimistic, turns out people really, really hate "Milo Murphy's Law". Used to be a regular on /r/Civ, it's a great subreddit but I don't have as much time to play Civ nowadays. 

/r/EdEddnEddy, /r/Superman, /r/Batman and /r/Cryptozoology are other subs I browse from time to time. Usually as a lurker.

I used to be an active user. I still check on the site every now and then, but I haven't touched my account in months though. I like Reddit for the variety of it's communities, but it can be a "circle jerk" at times and there's a lot of toxic places on that site, and that kind of sucks.

I use it every now and again. I think the site itself is great but the community can be utter garbage wherever you look. Most people just crack jokes and post memes for karma points instead of being helpful.

Or they spam downvotes on posts they don't like, even though I've heard from mods of multiple communities that you're not supposed to do that...

I don't have an account, but I lurk around certain subs sometimes.

At first I rejected the zero, but that was because I simply didn't understand it. Now I do.
