The way I’ve described it to non tech friends and family is “a bunch of different reddits, all with their own subreddits, but the different reddits can all talk to each other even if you only have an account on one. Then if one reddit has stuff your reddit doesn’t want to see, your community (or just the admins) can decide to disconnect from them.” It’s worked well so far.

I’m waiting for boost. Jerboa has been fine so far but I’ve used boost for almost a decade at this point, it’s hard not to have all the quality of life that was built into that app.
