I thought it would be a good exercise to see what was out there (give other sites a chance), so I started following suggestions others have made. This is the list I currently have compiled. https://lemmy.ml/ https://lemmy.ml/ (https://join-lemmy.org/ https://join-lemmy.org/) : ideal reddit replacement https://www.tiktok.com/ https://www.tiktok.com/ : from a purely entertainment value. This is number one. I was on TikTok last year and it was basically the only entertainment site I visited. I actually did not visit reddit last year - it felt like day old news since so much (entertainment) content was coming from TikTok. https://mastodon.social/ https://mastodon.social/ : I need to get use to Voices/People first over actual story. Reddit (HN) was always article/story first. Probably why I never did Twitter. https://kbin.social/ https://kbin.social/ : good reddit replacement. https://flingup.com/ https://flingup.com/ : I quite like this one as a reddit replacement. https://www.instagram.com/ https://www.instagram.com/ : created my first acct here. Not sure what to expect. Seems boring and fake. https://tildes.net/ https://tildes.net/ : invite required: requested one - still waiting... Really quite nice: feels as if reddit and HN merged into one. https://www.4chan.org/ https://www.4chan.org/ : actually surprised that normal categories exist. I always thought it was just one giant cesspool. https://9gag.com/ https://9gag.com/ : lots of ads, tracking but captures the meme-aspect of reddit. RSS Feeds continues to be my personally best (and tailored) solution. --------- https://www.quora.com/ https://www.quora.com/ : did not like. https://hive.blog/ https://hive.blog/ : looks nice but do not like the crypto/payment aspect of it. https://imgur.com/ https://imgur.com/ : Will not let me browse while using a VPN. Bah! Fail. https://non.io/ https://non.io/ : pay to interact. I think many (like me) don't post enough to justify paying - when other sites deliver so much more. --------- I may start looking at BBSes again. Excited at the thought of this. I have been on IMDB for a couple of years. Writing reviews, creating lists, taking polls. Just saying there's a ton of stuff out there if you're looking to fill downtime and have fun. IMDB has been great fun for me. https://the-federation.info/ https://the-federation.info/ : good place to find Fediverse sites. --------- New ones I came across just now (for review): https://rdrama.net/ https://rdrama.net/ (seems wild at first glance) https://raddle.me/ https://raddle.me/ https://sqwok.im/ https://sqwok.im/ --------- Many of us (especially me) stopped looking for a while. We find one thing and stick with it. Reddit serves as a reminder that there are 'plenty of other fish in the sea'. Let's go fishing...
