Is there is any worthy alternative to Reddit? (programming.dev)

The more time passes, the more I started to see the flaws in Lemmy design and development which will prevent it from being something meaningful.

Which lead me to ask, is there is any worthy alternative to Reddit?

I tried HackerNews , but it does not seem very fit.
Tildes seem to have way more problems than Reddit, development and moderation.
Saidit seems to be almost dead and have zero active Android clients.
Discuit used to have a potential, but they are stuck in toxic positivity phase and the admins does not seem to understand how to moderate and it seems that they will have the same fate as Ruqqis.

Anything else?

I'm fine with Lemmy. What flaws are you talking about

[–] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So far as I can say so far, the major flaw with Lemmy as it stands now, is the lack of critical mass. There are communities whose main contributors are single users, with virtually no engagement (sometimes upvotes, but not a single comment). I figure that things will fill in eventually, but there's no telling how long it will take, the snowball is gathering mass rolling downhill though, so that's something.

There's no magic wand anyone can cave to bypass the network effects. I.e. you can can't just suddenly make a new service and have it with the "critical mass". This is a long process which the people who are the most interested need to sustain.

In other words, you will never "find" such an alternative, unless you sit down and help build it for years.

Yeah, absolutely. It's well on its way, I'm not out to tear it down, but given OPs criteria I'm just putting some my honest thoughts out there - we've got a long way to go.

I’m here, and I always precipitate mass influxes of users on sites. So prepare yourself

Just curious, what flaws?

Remember!

It's hard to discuss worthy alternatives when you haven't shared what you see as the flaws in Lemmy...
