I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don't look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I'd go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I got my uBlock Origin ready to kill all the ads. That shitty website will not get a cent out of me.

What about you? Do you still use reddit?

How do you find more discord servers? I randomly started being a bit more active in a random one from a simulator I use, and I'm enjoying it more than I thought, but not sure how to find more communities.

The Discord public server browser is pretty bad, Disboard.org is a better server browser that has more servers and filtering options. A lot of YouTubers and online groups will have their own discord servers as well, which you can typically find with some digging (a ton of subreddits had official discord servers long before all the current drama started for example)

Thanks! I think I just need to set an hour aside to try to think of things like this, YouTube channels are a good one, I do follow a lot of stuff related to my hobbies/profession there.

That's what I miss from Lemmy so far, none of the niche things I'm into are really represented yet.
