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.

At this point, I am just checking weekly top posts of headphones, piracy and datahoarder (yes I am lol), because they have no alternatives, and I could only officially get datahoarder onto Lemmy, but the majority of userbase is still on Reddit. Only sub I regularly check is DBZ Dokkan, because no other community exists that isn't called Twitter. My reddit usage has fallen off the cliff.

No FOMO really. Reddit's quality has gone down the gutter, deservedly so, and it is never going to get back up. The whole western culture of hatred, Russophobia, Israel genocider cheering, China hatred and all those things make it very easy for me to stay away. Most of those redditors hate themselves tbqh.

I am glad I was one of the key people that made it happen, considering I got the whole piracy community to migrate to Lemmy, since their Aether consideration never worked out before.
