Who the fuck would still want to use Reddit, like wtf? Just leave that shitty site behind.
Reddit has royally pissed me off to the point where I never wanted to use them again.
But they have curated content which I just can't find anywhere else.
I have tried. Lemmy is a pale alternative, which has some stuff I like.
But the sheer amount of content I like on Reddit is unmatched anywhere else.
Twitter can be okay with some topics, but has so much spam is ridiculous.
Lemmy has content, but a small amount in comparison.
9gag is a racist shit hole with occasiona bit ofl funny content.
Tides seems empty.
I dunno maybe I can reconfigure lemmy connect. It's a pretty nifty app btw.
If you can recommend any other sites as good as Reddit be my guest.
Reddit it still better for more niche stuff and the feed in general has more content. But I've got the feeling that the amount of reposts and low effort stuff has been ramped up lately, I mean it was always there, but seems to have increased lately.
I still use it, although way less, and it's only bearable because there's still 3rd apps working and I have a shit ton of subs blocked
Which 3rd party apps are working?
I think all of them if you create a sub, so you get to be a mod. For now almost everything is working, but I've noticed lately that I can't download some videos some times.
I really miss some of the small communities that just don't exist here.. But yes, fuck reddit, I'm not going back.
