I actually liked Squabbles when I first understood it but it quickly lost its charm. It's clearly made with the intent of scrolling past topics, as it basically only gives you a glimpse at one or two comments.
But thing is, I spend too much time actually inside said topics, and the set up leaves too much blank space and I don't need the actual topic contents on screen at all times, it's wasting space. And the "show select comments" thing leans too much towards reading the comments that got selected as the overall reaction to the topic, whereas sometimes it is not and the second and third responses say more.
I also tried these and a couple more alternatives to reddit, and unfortunately, kbin and lemmy truly, undoubtedly, are the only apt replacements. There are other good websites for browsing actual, active content (tumblr is still alive guys), but their setup is too different.
