Reddit is a massive social website. The vast majority of the value of Reddit comes from the fact that it's humongous. A niche community that tries to filter out most people isn't a Reddit replacement.
- scarecrw 3y agoI think some people are talking past each other when referring to a "reddit replacement" by focusing on different aspects and even different eras of reddit. Speaking for myself, I would love to see some of the features reddit popularized be brought to a replacement. However, I'm not at all interested in a one-to-one replacement of reddit in its current form, especially if we take "current form" to mean what a typical user would experience joining the site today.
- davewritescode 3y agoYeah I think Reddit is different things to different people. I personally spent a lot of time in hobby subreddits and in my city's local subreddit which at times was really an amazing way to find out about all sorts of cool events. Personally, this post is peak Reddit to me https://www.reddit.com/r/boston/comments/1d9xh5/epic_of_the_brighton_tree_ninja/ https://www.reddit.com/r/boston/comments/1d9xh5/epic_of_the_...
- BeFlatXIII 3y agoPeople aren't asking for a replacement for all of reddit; they want to replace their favorite subreddits. Being niche is an advantage.
