MODERATORS
 

Hi! Recently exiled reddit user, here. I'm curious what other alternatives to reddit there are, besides Lemmy, and Raddle, of course. Also, imho, Phuks is a good alternative, there's no hate-speech (that I'm aware of) and people are pretty respectful. Anyways, let's hear your suggestions! Thank you!

It definitely isn't enough to feed the constant content addiction I had with Reddit, but I've found that kind of a good thing lol. I've started reading books and comics on my phone, getting out of bed faster, working on other projects, etc. It's like using a less toxic version to wean off, like using vapes or patches to get off cigarettes.

Agreed, imo lemmy is still better. Sadly, we still lack the niche communities reddit has..

That's the one thing, I really want more niche communities. Not sure if we just need more people or community discovery needs to be easier. I'd like to see more with the league of legends community and Meet Your Maker community, and I'm sure other people have niche video games or other small hobby communities they'd like to see take off more.
