Ive been on reddit for more than a decade. Kinda bittersweet, but its not the first time I have moved on from an internet site. I just cant support reddit and sucking up all my posts for AI purposes. Feels terrible and spammy. Ive been a reddit premium holder for many many years.
Anyways, what communities do you recommend?
Oh, by the way: If you’re a fan of the classic “Old.reddit.com” look, the Programming.Dev instance has an identical interface: https://old.programming.dev/?sort=Hot&listingType=All .
It’s federated with Lemmy.World so all the same posts will appear. I’m partial to that on Desktop browser, and stick with https://p.lemmy.world for mobile.
It works on lemmy.world as well!
https://old.lemmy.world/
Yeah both lemmy.world and us have the same alternate frontends at the same subdomains (apart from voyager in which they went for m for mobile and we did v for voyager)
Links for all four of them
These front ends already added a lot of value for me than Reddit when using the desktop site.
The only thing that is unfortunate about the old.lemmy.world site is that the block feature is broken. I try to curate my All feed by blocking spammers and communities I am not interested in, but nothing happens when you click the Block button on any post.
Interesting, I tried a simple test with a user and it worked fine, blocked them on the first attempt. I actually had difficulty unblocking them later, though, I don’t think it “stuck” and had to refresh and/or navigate to a different page, and then unblock them and it worked

Oh thats great thanks! Ill def be using that.
Sweet! I didn’t know about Old.lemmy.world. Thanks so much!
