The 4 best Reddit alternatives: Top picks to replace your subreddits - Lemmy is listed first!

As for funding, the servers are supported on a donation basis, with no big corporations behind them. This leads to a problem concerning user data and privacy, as there isn't a single accountable entity behind the network.

Bit of a weird take now, isn't it?

Discord for large communities is dumb as shit. There's literally too many people that real communication becomes impossible unless you move to DMs or an empty room.

I gotta look into this Lemmy thing. Sounds right up my alley.

I'm so glad I finally got into Lemmy. Reddit was destroyed on July 1st but I couldn't get into Lemmy until November because the instances were so fickle.

In the meantime I tried saidit but quickly discerned that most of the users there were just really bad Reddit rejects. like the worst of the worst Reddit rejects.

Glad Lemmy finally let me in.

In that list, only Lemmy has voting or comments in a tree, both key features that make reddit into reddit. If I was going to put together a list of reddit alternatives, those last 3 wouldn't be on it.

Fuck Reddit, but shouldn't be so excited for external validation. We're doing a good thing building this community, we know that without them signing off.

How did Discord make the list but not Imgur? At least Imgur is somewhat like reddit.

I really like Lemmy's UI and general nicer community. I hope we see more people joining.

There are dozens of us, dozens!

Key strengths of Lemmy

1. Federation
2. Tankies
3. Star Trek memes
4. Star Trek memes community civil war

Lemmy is great if you love Linux and Star Trek. If you're really into cybersecurity and privacy Lemmy has it all.

What about kbin (well it is connected with Lemmy, but technically it's not Lemmy) and tildes.net?

Mentioned the Apollo / Reddit saga but did not list Voyager as a client for Lemmy which at least for me has been the closest client in terms of Apollo experience. I know this is Android Police but it did talk about Android and IOS clients in the article.

I had been on reddit since 2008, I was looking for an alternative to the message boards I belonged to after the popularity of Facebook killed them off. I really enjoyed it, not the same level of community that you find in a message board but still good for conversation.

Then trump happened and it turned to shit. It's so fucking toxic and I ended up getting banned for defending myself. Apparently fascism is good and standing up for yourself goes against community standards.

I'm a disabled 49 year old just looking for conversation. Facebook is also a toxic wasteland now. To say I miss myspace is an understatement but there's hardly anyone there anymore.

I'm happy whenever I find a place that's put the social back into social media because antisocial media is just trash.

Pro for me: the ui is a bit more intuitive

We did it Lemmies!

Squabblr seems like a nest of 13 year-olds trolling each other for fake internet points. Pass.

Honestly bad article lol. No mention of Mastadon. But idk i skimmed and i finnshed my ration of alcohol

i actually prefer to browse lemmy from a mastodon account but it probably isn't for everyone: iget every comment on a subscribed community in reverse chronological order in one feed.

Lemmy is an alternative to Reddit like MotherJones is an alternative to Fox News. It’s just more of the same from a different bias.
