What is the most popular reddit alternative with the most content ?

[-]

soratoyuki@reddit

The Fediverse won, particularly Lemmy. Nothing is as large or content-filled as Reddit, but Lemmy is a distant second with no real distant third.

[-]

FreakyT@reddit

For iOS, Voyager is the way to go, IMO. It's basically a 1:1 clone of the old Apollo Reddit client.

[-]

giotheflow@reddit

I use Sync, by the same guy that did the Sync for android.

[-]

MuddledMoogle@reddit

That's high praise. I'll check it out, ty!

[-]

Die4Ever@reddit

I like Boost https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rubenmayayo.lemmy&hl=en_US

[-]

FreakyT@reddit

Even in the browser, alternative Lemmy clients often offer better UX than the base one, IMO.

[-]

soratoyuki@reddit

I prefer Connect, personally. It's really customizable and I managed to get it very close to how I remember Reddit Is Fun functioned.

I also see Jerboa and Voyager recommended a lot.

[-]

JohannesVanDerWhales@reddit

I'd just note that Lemmy has a pretty different mix of people than reddit. It's all linux nerds, leftists, and for some reason vegans.

[-]

TheyCallHimMrPup@reddit

So exactly like Reddit then? (Minus the Vegans, get with the times Reddit!)

[-]

BlazeAlt@reddit

There are people who aren't linux leftists

https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities has weekly threads with communities focused on casual chat, entertainment, learning and art

[-]

JohannesVanDerWhales@reddit

Yes I'm employing hyperbole a bit but with the small size of the total community it makes it feel like some groups are overrepresented.

[-]

BlazeAlt@reddit

Same with Reddit to be honest, I'm sure it's still mostly men in their 30s

[-]

ashenblood@reddit

Also furries, trekkies, and Germans 😅

[-]

BlazeAlt@reddit

And people who like owls, food, gardening, maps, Star Wars, science..

drewkungfu@reddit

For now… reddit too once had a specific weird niche. Then it grew to have a niche for everyone.

[-]

soratoyuki@reddit

I never used Telegram, but I didn't think it was a Reddit replacement. It's a secure messaging app like Signal/WhatsApp, isn't it?

[-]

Empty_Daikon1049@reddit

I like blue sky pretty well, the mutual are down right now though - which is how you see your follows posting.

[-]

lilyxcatnap@reddit

I think the most popular is Quora with the most content. However the most annoying and bot-ridden alternative is also Quora. You take your pick.

[-]

Roku6Kaemon@reddit

Tildes if you're just here for the text and discussions. Invites are very easy to get. Creator of automoderator knew what he was doing designing the site!

[-]

Emergency_Plankton46@reddit

That is a lot more active than last time I checked. How do you get an invite?

Delicious_Ease2595@reddit

Tildes has only one admin as Deimos and can get you banned anytime. They don't consider themselves as Reddit alternative

[-]

Roku6Kaemon@reddit

Depends on what you want out of Reddit. I look for high quality discussions and that old community feeling which Reddit lacks nowadays. Memes are easy to find and replace. Community is much harder.

[-]

Delicious_Ease2595@reddit

It's quality discussion but highly moderated and leftist. It targets a niche but I would not recommend it.

[-]

BlazeAlt@reddit

Makes sense, especially with the invite system

[-]

Delicious_Ease2595@reddit

You don't miss anything it's a micro-reddit with same Reddit moderation.

[-]

BlazeAlt@reddit

I had a quick look, 25 posts in a day, so micro indeed

[-]

Roku6Kaemon@reddit

The discussions often run over days, so the posts are much more long-running similar to the forums of old.

[-]

StackerToday@reddit

We have been building something similar but we may not be alternative.

[-]

the library. No seriously... reddit was the last of the old internet. Frankly it's time (for me at least) to dump much of the digital lifestyle and change up my habits big time. The best way to combat the enshitification is to avoid using it for anything but the essentials. the public square has been shuttered.

malcarada@reddit

https://scored.co/ has a few subs that are ok, like /c/Technology, /c/Health, /c/Gaming, and /c/sports, /c/Animals etc, and it has a part of a wasteland too, like c/KotakuInAction2 but you you don´t necessarily must visit them although they are the most active.

[-]

immersive-matthew@reddit

I tried Lemmy for a year and eventually gave up as the content is just not there unless you are into Memes and politics. I have tried Nostr and Mastodon (which are more like Twitter) and they too were not very content rich. Sadly, the majority are fine being exploited here on Reddit and thus everywhere else is a ghost town.

[-]

Sir_Mulberry@reddit

My experience with decentralized platforms has been that they are far too confusing with a steep learning curve just to create an account and begin accessing content. That sort of barrier to entry is an absolute non-starter for communities like this that rely so heavily on mass adoption in order to generate that content.

I really wanted it to work, but it just doesn't. Even after you manage to gain access, it turns out that central administration / moderation of content is actually pretty important to providing a pleasant experience.

[-]

BlazeAlt@reddit

Hello,

What were the issues you encountered? Lemmy is very similar to Reddit in terms of interface and ways of working (threads, comments, votes).

In the past, Lemmy enthusiasts used to get potential new joiners confused by bringing all the federation concepts while explaining what Lemmy was.

Nowadays we keep it simple: - register on https://lemm.ee/ - look at https://lemm.ee/c/newcommunities@lemmy.world for communities to join based on the weekly threads - read content

Email is decentralized, and still widely used, even by non-tech people. Of course, some of them might think that Email = Gmail, but that's fine, and that's why now we don't explain federation to new joiners anymore.

[-]

BlazeAlt@reddit

We have now started weekly threads on https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities to promote communities focused on casual chat, entertainment, learning and art

celestialhopper@reddit

At this point we're looking back at Digg...

RaincloudAccount@reddit

The solution to the void that the steady downfall of Reddit, the enshittification of YouTube and the summary execution of Twitter create, is not to create a new central hub for all of your internet needs. I know it's difficult to adjust your mindset to go back to a network of smaller sites with smaller communities, where it's harder to find discussions about "literally everything". But we're not putting the toothpaste back into the tube on that one.

Some things I use:

Actual news sites
1:1 communications with people I care about
Tiny Discord servers (just your friends & you)
Cohost.org
Tildes.net
Nebula.tv (no affiliation)
Paying a language tutor and buying a dictionary instead of posting screenshots of Duolingo answers to r / duolingo or whatever
I touch grass and read books

You don't need to be on a website that has a billion posts per day if you're on a website that has a culture of responding to messages even if they're five days old and have 0 responses so far.

My mental health got a lot better too with me no longer having vagueposts about horrifying geopolitical events in the world's war zones pushed into my face every 10 minutes.

[-]

BlazeAlt@reddit

a network of smaller sites with smaller communities,

It's interesting because that's exactly what Lemmy and the Fediverse are.

Lemmy has different instances on different topics (depending on your country, or a specific interest)

Peertube can be used as a Youtube alternative.

Mastodon offers a microblogging alternative much more relaxed than Twitter

[-]

CarbineCo@reddit

Exactly this right here. I would give this a hundred upvotes if I could.

Hopefully this polarization and enshittification of the Internet forces people to actually do all of those things.

[-]

e2hawkeye@reddit

Take a peek at Metafilter, much older than Reddit and still pretty active. I believe it's five dollar one time buy in. It's heavily moderated and there's no sub topics, but Reddit was like that at first.

If you are Bitcoiner is ok

[-]

CheapBison1861@reddit

It’s heavily focused on that audience but you don’t need to be a bit inner to find value in it

[-]

FitikWasTaken@reddit

Nostr has around 50k monthly active users

https://stats.nostr.band/

While the Fediverse has around 900k monthly active users

https://fedidb.org/

I think if the OP is asking about the most active one, the answer is obvious there

[-]

ultradip@reddit

Digg still exists. Reddit was originally the Digg alternative.

Bean888@reddit

Facebook groups can have a lot of content, but that's a big might for whatever you're interested in. I joined one called something like Film Locations, then and now, and people post a lot there. Sometimes the fb group is public, and you don't even have to join, just bookmark them. One I bookmarked is a whale watching group, they have members that just post whenever whales show up and where the whales are located, I was able to get some good photos when I saw what they were posting. A few years ago when I was on the subway I saw the ads for fb groups and thought it was another feature of theirs that would die, but wow, I use it rn.
