How has it been for you? Do you get FOMO feeling sometimes?

I use Reddit less and less but haven’t fully quit yet. Always have this odd feeling of FOMO regards content.

Not only that, some subreddits haven’t migrated to any other platform unfortunately. Or they have but the content is very little compared to Reddits content.

Note - wasn’t sure where to post this. So if this wasn’t the right place, apologies!

The issue I have with Reddit - it’s full of hateful people and most content is just bots karma farming.

EDIT: Thanks for all the responses!

EDIT 2: Thanks for the ones that mentioned RSS-Feed. Just got it and it’s amazing. Still manage to only follow the subreddits that I like without crapads.

    The issue I have with Reddit - it’s full of hateful people

    I left two or three years before the big wave, for precisely this reason. It really is a toxic culture – it seeps into your brain that you cannot say something mildly wrong or controversial without the mob snowballing your comment to death.
    No one affords others any goodwill, because not doing so makes their own number go up.

    I was on Mastodon for quite a while, because Lemmy wasn’t a thing yet. And over there, you can only make people’s numbers go up and the culture reflects that.
    I do feel like the Lemmy model works better for unearthing content (Mastodon is more about people), but I can’t help but feel like there ought to be a path in the middle.

    I do check one niche subreddit for a TV show about once every week when a new episode drops, but I hadn’t used reddit at all until this season came out. I will go right back to not using it pretty soon here. I used to read reddit during the majority of my down time, but the attitude Spez had was so awful that I have no desire to return to regular use. I spend a lot of my time on discord, some on Firefish, and a little bit on Lemmy. I do more things offline now. I thought it would be difficult to replace reddit, but it hasn’t been.
