Damn, time to actually stop using reddit I guess. I wish I could say Lemmy scratches the itch, but there just aren’t any of the communities I care about here. Just seems like there are a bunch of awful memes and copies of my least favorite subreddits.

Try checking out some other instances. Sh.itjust.works has some good stuff on it. I searched for Lemmy alternatives for reddit and found a few different instances that mostly scratch my itch.

Be the change you want to see. Start a community!

This attitude on here is really annoying. Starting a community is a big time commitment if you want it to be moderated and run effectively. A lot of us don’t have the time to do that, no matter how much we want the platform to succeed.

Do whatever works for you, friend. If you don’t have the time or don’t want to start/run a community, then you don’t have to. Nobody is forcing anyone either way, but if someone wants something to change, then someone will have to do something about it for that to happen.

In this instance, we can engage with the platform through interacting, posting content, and creating and supporting communities. Setting up and running a community is another option that is available to the original commenter, and is one thing that they can do to fill an existing gap that they see. Whether or not they have the time or energy to do that is up to them.

Take care!

Nice and easy - home page -> main menu bar -> create community!

There’s definitely less content than on Reddit but I was able to find replacements for pretty much everything I was following, including niche stuff. And the less content is a plus too, gets me off my phone.

I had better luck after I started searching for specific communities no matter which instance they were on, and blocking communities and bots.

Also, change sorting options to Top Hour or Top 3 Hours. The sorting by Hot or Active just doesn’t work very well yet.

New platforms struggle with the influx of loser communities who’ve been banned elsewhere.

That’s what I’m seeing too. Mastadon is kind of cool, there are some cool things to see there but it’s in the world of Twitter, Instagram etc where it’s all about the self promoting, and not about building community really.

I just need to visit a couple subreddits. Sadly, there’s no alternate communities outside of reddit.

I still use old.reddit on my computer for some niche subreddits. My phone, I’ve cut Reddit out. One day, I’m sure they’ll kill old.reddit

Im certain they will too. I exclusively used RiF and old.reddit for around 10 years (i guess before it was old reddit). I had no idea there were avatars for the longest time. All its gonna take is one or two more features before they say we “cant engage with the fun of reddit enough” and they drop old reddit.

Infinity for Lemmy working great for me.

I uninstalled RiF yesterday. If I need reddit, I’ll browse old.reddit in Firefox with UBlockOrigin on DEFCON 1 to block all the cookie/app nags.
