How has it been for you? Do you get FOMO feeling sometimes?

I use Reddit less and less but haven’t fully quit yet. Always have this odd feeling of FOMO regards content.

Not only that, some subreddits haven’t migrated to any other platform unfortunately. Or they have but the content is very little compared to Reddits content.

Note - wasn’t sure where to post this. So if this wasn’t the right place, apologies!

The issue I have with Reddit - it’s full of hateful people and most content is just bots karma farming.

EDIT: Thanks for all the responses!

EDIT 2: Thanks for the ones that mentioned RSS-Feed. Just got it and it’s amazing. Still manage to only follow the subreddits that I like without crapads.

I miss it. It makes me angry, and a little sad, and definitely lonely. I miss the community and the friends I had (which accounted for too much of my social interaction). But I still feel like it was the right move.

It is a toxic place in many ways, but there are communities there that are hard to replace. I ignored much of what was happening for far too long, and a lot of my pain now comes from a failure to deal with that reality when I should have done

Instead I moved with the masses, at least in theory. I hate that it was necessary, but I would do it again.

I've only gone back to reddit anonymously a few times for technical information or guides. I do miss it in some ways but I don't miss how toxic it could be.

This is a very honest and cool answer, thanks. I feel much the same way.
