This part of the Fediverse should have a sub entitled 12stepprogram4redditaddicts. To follow the conflict in Ukraine there are three reddit subs that are necessary and to do that right you need an account and the old reddit interface. The Lemmy sub Ukraine and several Mastodon accounts are the only alternatives I can find.
The ones at Reddit are easily followed without having an account and they have been around a long time. It would be nice if there were versions of all of them in the Fediverse, either lemmy.world or kbin.social.
