Looking for Reddit alts that are not Lemmy
Posted by Curious-Bear-9398@reddit | RedditAlternatives | View on Reddit | 169 comments
Like the title says, does anyone know if any alternatives to Reddit that aren’t Lemmy?
I’ve used half a dozen lemmy instances and couldn’t get into it. It seems to be fairly toxic and I want a site where I can have a good dialogue on topics. Any suggestions?
hastogord1@reddit
We launched two days ago.
It is called LetIt.
You can read about our story at https://www.letit.net/company/about
We don't care your political opinions or whatever.
Our focus is networking and help you earn.
Jonjonboi@reddit
can you explain whats toxic about the lemmy user base?
softwarebuyer2015@reddit
there's a lot of aggression towards views outside the norm. Even if they are expressed patiently.
Jonjonboi@reddit
can you be more specific?
isanameaname@reddit
Usenet
Sitheral@reddit
Ah, usenet. Largely dead but all that petty shit that you get banned for by mods here - poof - doesn't happen.
And that troll who always talks shit? Hes there for eternity, possibly longer untill you throw him into your KF.
There is certain beauty to it. Its an aqquired taste. People who entire experience on the internet is whoring themselves for karma and avoiding anything that might get them in trouble won't understand till they try.
isanameaname@reddit
Yeah, that's why most folks fled, first to mailing lists, then forums and Slashdot, Digg, and eventually here.
Now Lemmy is pretty much the full circle.
madthumbz@reddit
Lemmy didn't improve anything on Reddit. Trying to pick an instance is like trying to pick a Linux distro when they all suck. Try to start up a community with rules and have the admin make a new rule that banning is a 'last resort' or they entertain someone's idea of a hostile takeover and allow organization of brigading from on site. Some things they were worse for censorship for as well.
Go against your unpaid help, and then people wonder why it lacks content. My communities on Lemmy were growing much faster than Reddit with the same content, so I see it more as an amateur admin problem or being anti-moderator / community builder.
isanameaname@reddit
That's why we shouldn't be promoting a software package here. In this sub we should be directing Europeans to https://sopoli.xyz and North Americans to https://lemmy.ca
Let people figure out the thing about instances as they go. A conversation about lemmy as a piece of software should be over in r/selfhosted
isanameaname@reddit
Also https://sh.itjust.works/
madthumbz@reddit
Yeah, admin there pretends I was banned by a bot on my first day, apologizes (via private mssg) and posts this in a thread regarding someone wanting to steal the sub from me:
("for now").
It's no wonder my communities on Lemmy grew so much faster than here and yet people say they can't find the same content as Reddit. Who wants to mod or contribute content for a controlling asshole like that?
Lemmydotworld likewise made-up rules as they went along with some BS about mods banning should be a last resort. -So, if you're a vegan or group recovering from a cult; you're not supposed to ban people that obviously don't belong.
It's not like I didn't have in the first rule 'you're not welcome, and we ask that you mute us', or that their brigading, diluting, vote manipulation, etc aren't a visible issue to admins with access to the database (or mods that have to deal with them).
And lemmy openly encourages brigading. So as above; even more 'mob rule'.
The issues I've had with admins here could at least stem from legal pressures on them. -They shouldn't allow questions they don't accept real and verifiable answers for in that case though.
Like with Linux; 'it's not Linux fault' - because there's an endless supply of versions and alterations to choose from (yet they all suck) that serve as excuses or supposed solutions. There are sites just like operating systems that aren't fragmented that don't seem to have the issues.
softwarebuyer2015@reddit
a lot of people went to the lemmy because they couldnt be mods on reddit.
RadiationNeon@reddit
Do you know a good usenet reader for android?
isanameaname@reddit
Pho would be my goto.
The problem will be the same as with Lemmy: you need to pick a server, although many ISPs still provide one.
madthumbz@reddit
I haven't seen one in my area provide one in the last couple decades. What about free ones? -I know they suck for binaries, but discussions?
isanameaname@reddit
There's also the little problem that there was a mass migration from usenet to Reddit at some point over the last 25 years, so a lot of newsgroups are neglected.
The binary ones are pretty active though. But we don't talk about that.
leshiy19xx@reddit
lemmy is the biggest reddit alternative for now, and still it is too small to be usable. At least for me. Other alternatives are even smaller what makes them pointless as a real reddit alternative.
unfortunately.
triangularRectum420@reddit
No matter whether you go to Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, Chime, Sphere, Discuit, or anything else, you cannot just expect content to magically appear. A "real" Reddit alterntive will never appear if people don't try to contribute content.
madthumbz@reddit
I tried to 'contribute content'. Lemmy admins tended to be more anti-mod / community builder and supported brigading. My communities there grew more than 2x as fast as here. How are you going to get communities as varied as here if you're constantly against your free help? It'd be stupid to work for them from what I've witnessed.
triangularRectum420@reddit
I'm sorry, but I didn't understand what you're saying. Could you please explain again, but this time keeping in mind that I'm a fucking dumbass?
Separate_Ad_8451@reddit
You’re right. But I do think that’s the cool thing about ChimeIn since it aggregates existing forums into one app. So eventually it should have tons of communities with people who already care about whatever forum they’re on. At least that’s what I’m hoping lol
BlazeAlt@reddit
Any link to Chime? The only one I found redirect to an AWS service
Pamasich@reddit
See here
Zavrina@reddit
Thank you for the app links, I appreciate it! I hadn't heard of it before now. Looks like it's pretty early days, but seems to have potential. I hope it goes well for them.
BlazeAlt@reddit
Interesting. No website?
DxT_01@reddit
ChimeIn is owned by Codelux which is the company I run. Site is Codelux
BlazeAlt@reddit
Thank you, but I meant a desktop website that could be used similarly to the app
DxT_01@reddit
Not yet. I’m hoping to put one out this year but tbd. We’re small so a lot of things get backlogged unfortunately
triangularRectum420@reddit
Totally understandable, take your time. There's no need to hurry.
Curious-Bear-9398@reddit (OP)
Not yet. I’m hoping to put one out eventually but tbd. We’re pretty small so a lot of things just get backlogged unfortunately
Die4Ever@reddit
That's harder than it sounds. People have used Lemmy bots to do this same thing, but little end up not liking it, they want real interactions not fake/imported interactions.
DxT_01@reddit
ChimeIn doesn’t use bots. It capitalizes on existing communities by bringing them together into a single app. It lets web forums move into the mobile space and it helps mobile users find communities. As we continue to build in posting and post interactions into the forums, you’ll be able to find and participate in more and more active communities. The goal is for everyone to find a place they like whether it’s lemmy or not
Die4Ever@reddit
in what way? are you looking for something like https://lemmyusa.com/ ?
Perfect_Cost_8847@reddit
If their experience is anything like mine, it’s populated by mostly far left wing Americans who were banned from Reddit for being too extreme. I disagreed with someone about a topical left wing American position and received death threats. In fact I’ve never received that many death threats on Reddit. Lemmy is extreme.
chrissie_watkins@reddit
I've also noticed lots of users there who advocate for communism in the USA and cheer on the CCP. Makes me wonder if it's astroturfed with China bots or if so many people really are that gullible and easily manipulated.
Elefantasm@reddit
The founders are all tankies. There are 3 communities that are very pro communist.
softwarebuyer2015@reddit
they are assholes first, communists second.
people are scared to speak at all unless its on the party line, so you get people being performatively communist, to win the approval of the group.
i consider myself far left, and no doubt you and i would argue bitterly on politics, but i'm regularly banned onm the tankie subs for advancing rational, mature views.
similarly, i get banned a lot for the same things on the liberal instances
it really appears like they are just kids, to me.
leshiy19xx@reddit
lemmy was created by two guys who are openly ultra-left communists. I read AMA with them, and they found a way to blame US and corporations, even answering completely generic questions.
Elefantasm@reddit
They are competent coders who are knuckle dragging dumbfucks politically speaking. One is a communist transphobe which is a downright weird pov
chrissie_watkins@reddit
Really? That's a shame. Communists are the bane of the sensible left.
Electronic-Phone1732@reddit
Check piefed! its made by someone a lot more normal, and its compatible with lemmy. piefed.social and join.piefed.social .
chrissie_watkins@reddit
These are so over my head right now, I don't even know how to do it. Ugh.
Electronic-Phone1732@reddit
What are you having trouble with?
chrissie_watkins@reddit
I'm using Voyager, I haven't messed with the platform enough yet to figure out how to search and subscribe to communities. I'll figure it out eventually lol.
Perfect_Cost_8847@reddit
Probably both. People on this sub claimed the tankies only populated lemmy.ml but that’s clearly incorrect. Most users on all instances hold very far left views on all topics, including capitalism and communism.
Electronic-Phone1732@reddit
Not all instances the three I would look out for are:
- lemmy[.]ml
- lemmygrad[.]ml
- hexbear[.]net.
Because of federation, all of the posts on these get sent to other instances. You can join an instance which blocks them, like discuss.online.
Electronic-Phone1732@reddit
Hi, there's three instances which are popular for people who got booted off reddit:
- lemmygrad[.]ml
- hexbear[.]net
and lemmy[.]ml.
Join an instance that blocks them, and you should be fine. discuss.online is a good one. sopuli.xyz as well.
triangularRectum420@reddit
The first people to go to Lemmy were the tankies. They reside mainly in three instances – lemmy[.]ml, lemmygrad[.]ml, and hexbear[.]net. Block these instances and you'll instantly see the average IQ of conversations go up.
Interesting_Hour_303@reddit
Unfortunately, blocking will only mute posts from them. You can still see comments from their users, as of now.
triangularRectum420@reddit
This will be fixed in Lemmy v1.0, which is the next release and will come sometime this year.
Also, recently I've switched to PieFed, which doesn't have these problems, and has some cools features in addition to that.
chrissie_watkins@reddit
Interesting, thanks. I'm still figuring it out and using Voyager. I'm not up to speed on settings and communities yet.
Curious-Bear-9398@reddit (OP)
Yeah. Some of the other instances that I tried were smaller but they didn’t have consistent posting or people talking. So it was either too far in one direction and no real dialogue or it was a ghost town
Elefantasm@reddit
You need to sort by all instances and then "last 12/6 hours".
The important thing to remember is there is a point when you have seen everything. Lemmy isn't built to doomscroll permanently.
No_Difference_2273@reddit
OP doesn’t like Lemmy
Lemmy fans: “You did it wrong”
Die4Ever@reddit
sounds like you just needed to ban hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml and maybe lemmy.ml too
but https://lemmyusa.com/ is definitely not left-leaning...
/u/Curious-Bear-9398
Neat_Concert_4138@reddit
https://lemmyusa.com/post/lemmyusa.com/838989
Not left leaning?
Die4Ever@reddit
Those are remote posts that got synced in, not local posts, look at the local communities
Perfect_Cost_8847@reddit
I can’t see how to block all users from those instances. How do I do that?
threelonmusketeers@reddit
On desktop, go to the top right, click on your username to open the drop-down menu, click the link to the settings page, switch to the "blocks" tab, and scroll down to "block instance".
Search for the three instances mentioned in the parent comment, and you should be good to go.
You can block individual users on that page as well.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you have other questions.
Perfect_Cost_8847@reddit
This doesn’t block users. It only blocks posts from those instances. Apparently there are plans to implement something like this in Lemmy later in the year.
Thank you but the issue is not that I cannot block individual users. It is that the users are so far left on all the populated instances that normal discussion is impossible. Comments in support of communism and other authoritarian themes get dozens of upvotes and almost no downvotes. I would need to block all users from all instances and that’s not much of a social platform.
Electronic-Phone1732@reddit
Hey, check lemmy.cafe . It blocks a lot of those people.
UnflinchingSugartits@reddit
This. I've been saying this. Hard agree.
Elefantasm@reddit
Im active on lemmy. There is a strong leftist POV that gets to be downright abusive in many cases. I block at least two accounts every single day and I already block the tankie triad.
I experience a lot of overt leftist racism which takes the form of "I can't be racist because of my race"/"I can't be racist because your race isn't a race so therefore my identical behavior isn't racism" or just plain old anti-semitism masquerading as "justified anger"
There are positive aspects to Lemmy I wouldn't use it if there were not but the myopia and hate of the community needs addressing and Im not sure anyone will address it.
Die4Ever@reddit
I guess it depends what communities you're in, I haven't seen that
softwarebuyer2015@reddit
Lemmy keeps talking about all the people joining, but not about all the people leaving.
AtheistAgnostic@reddit
Lemmy can be left leaning or right leaning. Federation means you shouldn't need six Lemmy instances, just one.
Perfect_Cost_8847@reddit
Where are the centrist and right leaning spaces? As far as I can tell, they’re almost completely empty.
Shihali@reddit
Sorry, not quite what you're asking for, but sh.itjust.works is liberal in the sense of allowing people to talk instead of being pro-dictatorship.
Perfect_Cost_8847@reddit
Thank you. I appreciate that people don’t get banned as readily. It’s the community which seems really hostile.
madthumbz@reddit
it trickles down from their loony admin.
Electronic-Phone1732@reddit

Perfect_Cost_8847@reddit
Thank you but I’m seeing all the same chronically online left wing American politics here from all the same instances I see on every other instance. I tried filtering for only “local,” but there doesn’t appear to be anyone on the instance itself.
Die4Ever@reddit
I also see https://lemmy.today/c/conservative
Perfect_Cost_8847@reddit
That’s fair but it’s also fair to not want to join an inactive community.
Die4Ever@reddit
well communities aren't going to magically have tons of people right away, it either requires a lot of marketing money, or people like you joining early
Separate_Ad_8451@reddit
Chime In app baby. Best of Lemmy and existing forum communities
No_Difference_2273@reddit
Ignores post, pushes the one alternative OP didn’t like.
Nice.

AtheistAgnostic@reddit
Not pushing it, just clarifying that OP ist describing Lemmy in a way that makes no sense.
Krocsyldiphithic@reddit

triangularRectum420@reddit
PieFed
Pamasich@reddit
As much as i like the fediverse, please actually respect OP's wishes. They clearly said no Lemmy, because they don't like the userbase. Piefed has the same userbase, so it's out too.
triangularRectum420@reddit
I saw the title, assumed that they didn't like the UI/features of Lemmy, made the comment, replied to some others, and then read the post body. I forgot to delete the comment, though.
Yes, I am fuckin stupid.
komakaze1@reddit
If Lemmy had tools to block or filter out the spam or low effort from the informed posts and comments I think I'd be much more inclined to use it and recommend it. It will get there eventually.
triangularRectum420@reddit
There's already tools for that.
komakaze1@reddit
Those tools look useful or essential for instance admins.
But for me as a lowly user I'd like some control too. Perhaps something like a profanity filter. Hide all comments shorter than 100 characters. Hide all posts that mention politics, celebrities, North Korea, broad topics of users choice, etc. Initially Hide all replies with less than 1 up vote and older.
triangularRectum420@reddit
I think you'd like PieFed. It federates with Lemmy (i.e. has all the content of Lemmy) and has many extra features. In fact, I prefer it over Lemmy myself.
AlienRobotMk2@reddit
What you want is probably impossible with the upvotes/downvote system, and even the threaded comment system.
peeonyou@reddit
You mean.. you're looking for Voat.co where you can be racist/sexist/bigoted in good company right?
Die4Ever@reddit
https://piefed.social/
or https://fedia.io/
Perfect_Cost_8847@reddit
Isn’t PieFed just another Lemmy instance? If the user wants to get away from the extreme Lemmy users, how does PieFed solve that? Or are you saying PieFed isn’t populated by far left Americans like the rest of Lemmy?
Die4Ever@reddit
then just ban hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml and maybe lemmy.ml too
Perfect_Cost_8847@reddit
First, it doesn’t appear that I can block whole instances and their users. If there is a way please let me know. Second, I’m still seeing left wing culture war on other instances like lemmy.world. Communities like Technology and Memes are wall to wall American left wing politics. It’s clearly far more wide spread than just hexbear.net, lemmygrad.ml, and lemmy.ml.
Die4Ever@reddit
it's in your Settings https://imgur.com/R2LMpQ1
Perfect_Cost_8847@reddit
This setting blocks posts from the instance. It does not block the users from those instances.
Electronic-Phone1732@reddit
piefed blocks all the users on that instance. piefed.social
Perfect_Cost_8847@reddit
Thank you! A user above also recommended PieFed and I’ve been trying it out. It’s a much better experience now. Hopefully Lemmy implements this in the near future.
Electronic-Phone1732@reddit
Its planned in the 1.1 release.
Die4Ever@reddit
you're right, that feature is schedule for Lemmy v1.0 this year
however the feature request here says that PieFed does it correctly: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5578
Perfect_Cost_8847@reddit
Amazing. Thank you. I will switch to PieFed and sign up to the communities which aren’t culture war 24x7 and hope that this time the Fediverse sticks.
BlazeAlt@reddit
Good luck!
leshiy19xx@reddit
correct me if I'm wrong, but official firefox community is hosted on lemmy.ml
Electronic-Phone1732@reddit
Its not official.
BlazeAlt@reddit
People nowadays favor this one: https://lemm.ee/c/firefox@fedia.io
leshiy19xx@reddit
correct me if I'm wrong, but official firefox community is hosted on lemmy.ml
Electronic-Phone1732@reddit
Its not official, and it would be a bad look for mozilla if it was on .ml
threelonmusketeers@reddit
I don't believe any of the firefox communities on Lemmy are official. The lemmy.ml one is the most active, but it there are firefox communities on lemmyworld and fedia.io as well.
AskingBemused@reddit
Piefed's different software from Lemmy, Piefed social is just a site made with it. The commonality is that both software also integrate ActivityPub to allow interaction across the various sites using either.
Either software permits anyone making a site with them to limit interactions between sites to approve only if I'm not mistaken, but that kind of defeats the purpose to many admins.
Pamasich@reddit
OP said no Lemmy because of its community.
We're not getting people to join Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed by shoving it down their throat when they clearly said no. That makes a very bad impression.

Hate/Bigotry? Pro-Israel stuff is easy to find on lemmy

ChimeIn might be an app to check out then. It’s supposed to be a collection of forums on one app. We’re still building it out but looking to add more forums as we grow
digitaldisgust@reddit
I want one sole forum site, not a bunch cobbled together...
MrWeirdoFace@reddit
Much like reddit with RES, I'm using keywords with ublock origin to filter out certain things on lemmy. For example, adding "*##.post-container:has(.post-title:has-text(Kanye))"
to ublock origin.
Electronic-Phone1732@reddit
piefed (compatible with lemmy) has a question on signup asking if you want to block trump and musk stuff. It also has keyword blocks built in.

The problem you had with Lemmy is that you looked for a good instance instead of good communities (ie. "subreddits") across all instances.
Change your feed from "All" or "Local" to "Subscribed" and find communities you like, and subscribe to them. Then you'll see what you want.
Curious-Bear-9398@reddit (OP)
I was on lemmy for a bit and did try just using “subscribed”. It was like I said in another reply, it was either all content with the same mindset and no dialogue or it was a ghost town.
It is in fact possible for people to just dislike lemmy and want something else.
Mindestiny@reddit
Thats ultimately the problem with all of these recommendations. They all seem to boil down to "what do you mean you don't want an exclusive firehose of the views I agree with?!?!? You're just doing it wrong!"
Like no, I don't want these extremist views regardless of what flavor they come in, why is that so hard for people to understand?
anemone_within@reddit
If you want info without the lens of reddit's hive mind and moderation choices just read the damn papers.

Idk if it’s good manners to spam the link but I’m developing a forum platform that is more similar to old school forums than Reddit, but will eventually (in a few months) have private groups similar to subreddits.
You can look through my post history for the post about it. It’s niche but I’m excited about it. It has annon posting, encrypted Pms, etc.
LemmyDOTwtf@reddit
This makes no sense. Lemmy is software and whatever instance you choose, you have access to the same things on the “Lemmy network”.
Perhaps you should find like-minded people and start your own Lemmy instance?
No_Difference_2273@reddit
Yes, I’m sure you have an entirely objective viewpoint, user-who-has-lemmy-in-their-username.
Seriously though, it’s okay for someone to not like lemmy.
LemmyDOTwtf@reddit
I just don’t like generalisations. I would have said the same, if it was Reddit “that was fairly toxic”.
Also if you want to fight echo chambers, Lemmy is good for that.
KelbyTheWriter@reddit
What is the viewpoint?
Perfect_Cost_8847@reddit
OP, this person is a Lemmy user who is fishing for an argument. If you explain what your centrist, milquetoast viewpoint is they’ll call you a Nazi, just like they do on Lemmy.

I’m not, I’m asking what the viewpoint is. I don’t use Lenny and you’re a douchebag.

I agree, Reddit is massively extreme left politic trolls. The ones that have left reddit for lemmy because of corporealism is even further down that rabbit hole. Honestly social media is just a political psyop at this point.
Pay the $5 for somethingawful forums, go to 4chan. They are probably the only popular places left that pretty much lock that political ideology behind specific sub forums.
MathCruncherHK@reddit
Exactly this. That's why I suggested forums.
TelvanniArcanist@reddit
The Internet is packed full of so many fake accounts and bots nowadays, I don't even know why you'd bother looking for any kind of social platform. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of those users you had problems with on Lemmy were bots looking to sow division.
I've been on the internet since the 90s, and while it's always been a safe haven for extreme or non mainstream viewpoints, it wasn't ever this divisive. It's purposeful because they don't want people of different viewpoints coming together.
DxT_01@reddit
That’s actually why I built the Chime In app. It’s supposed to be an aggregate of web forums (and lemmy instances) where you can find a community you like. Still growing though so it’s not as filled out as it will be down the road

ChimeIn might be an alternative for you. It has a few lemmy instances but also a few other forums to help branch out. Supposedly it’s adding more forums as well
