Where can we move to? So many good subreddits I want to continue to visit, but don’t care to support Reddit anymore. Discord?
I set up an account on beehaw.org. It's small, but growing!
I looked at them this morning but couldn’t figure out what it is or if it will have any of my interests.
What it is: a federated) link aggregation site (à la Reddit). Think about email as an example of a federated service, not everyone uses Hotmail for example.
What this means: instead of a single entity running the server there are smaller entities running their own versions of the server that all have the potential to communicate with one another.
About interests: it’s much like the early phases of Reddit, it’s small but growing in its diversity. As it stands, there are numerous (lemmy.ml) communities (beehaw.org) (lemmy.ml and beehaw.org are different entities as I’ve referred to above, there are even more available at https://join-lemmy.org/instances), and it can be expected that more and richer communities will evolve over time. E: see here for a community browser.
In all, I’m extremely hopeful that Lemmy will survive and thrive, and I guess it’s where I’m going on June 30th cause I’m not using the 1st party app.
Thank you for posting this. I registered a couple hours ago but still have no idea what any of it really does.
My decade on Reddit is over.
Been thinking the same about Lemmy. Feel like there were better names out there.
That’s where I joined. I’ve been enjoying it.
That’s okay! You can still participate in any of the communities with no issue.
If I provided my email, do they send me an email when my account is approved?
No, not yet. You could also pop into their Discord if you use that and ask and they’ll usually approve it right away haha. https://discord.gg/QpSCVY9K
Lemmy shards are connected with each other, so it doesn't matter that much which one you join as long as there are enough users to properly attach to the rest of Lemmy via their subscribed content.
So kinda like mastodon I guess
Won't load for me, too much traffic I suppose.
probably a good sign :)
For sure
I dunno, anywhere you have to answer interview questions to join always rubs me up the wrong way. I get elitism vibes.
It’s just to help weed out spammers
I didn’t provide my email address. How will I know when/if I’m approved?
Even if you provide an email address they don’t let you know (yet)
Beehaw is a lemmy instance. If you want to join lemmy go to join-lemmy.org and join a smaller instance (all instances can access the same content. Picking a larger one isn't recommended as it'll lag the instance's server)
Some people are moving over to Lemmy but there aren't any big alternatives right now
Given that porn constitutes a major part of Reddit, I imagine most will flock to whatever platform which doesn’t mind NSFW content.
Which sites are those?
Well they're doing a shitty job of it since I could throw a rock in any direction and hit 14 people pimping their OF accounts

Porn will be banned starting 5th of July I think. No more of that.
Tumblr seems to be the only big one left, although they technically only allow nudity, not pornography these days.
You could always spin up a PhpBB/WordPress instance.
Too bad Voat kinda died from the influx of far right wackjobs, it had the core to be a replacement
Just stay tuned and another one will pop up naturally, just like Reddit did all those years ago when Digg made changes to their site for the worse.
It's super easy to get an invite to Tildes, they have a megathread where you can comment to get one. Alternatively, just PM me, I've got 6 more to give away
Update: I'm all out! The good news is that creator of Tildes just gave every user 5 invites so everyone else should be able to share!
Could you please share an invite? Tried to DM but got some kind of error, first time seeing this.
sent you a PM
Got it, aswesome. Thank you so much! :)
May I get one please? :)
Do you have an invite you can send my way? Looks exactly like Reddit did when I joined forever ago (though with a nicer userbase, from what I can see). I miss that.
yup! PM me for one
I'm so excited to be apart of Tildes.
Definitely has an early days reddit feel, something that was lost on this site long ago.
Thanks for the recommendation, this looks great!
(If anybody wants to send me an invite link I’m not gonna complain)
I joined Tildes, r/redditalternatives.
Something much better may turn up in response to this
Look for invites for Tildes and Lobsters.
There is kbin.social which is federated like Lemmy and beehaw.
Another currently invite-only option is tildes.net has a very polished look and the idea is to keep it more curated and positive, so probably will never grow exponentially since that isn't the goal, but nonetheless is something to keep an eye on. The RIF dev is working on an app for Tildes.
Don't forget about forums, yeah forums can have power tripping users, weird rules etc, but at least all your eggs aren't in one basket.
The truth is this is the end. At least for the traditional user.
For me? I'm going to Tildes, and I cannot wait.
I wish those who stay good-luck, except the bots, of course.
Stack Exchange, Hackernews
Realistically Discord will be the next spot for communities to congregate, but please don’t support the Discordification of knowledge on the internet. chat rooms are not where discourse and knowledge bases should reside
Reddit on computer only
No place actually, what you need to do is look for alternatives of subreddits, not for an alternative of reddit.
Look for communities of your liked subs
I'm going to Tildes.
Reddit.
And despite what most people are saying here, they will just learn to tolerate the shitty official app.
I was apart of the digg migration. I've been waiting for reddit's time, and it has come.
Yeah I hate to say it but people said the same thing about twitter and look at mastodon and blue sky now. They’ve lost all momentum and most of them are back on twitter. People are addicted to social media. Very few people will actually quit over this.
I admire people’s, at least vocal, stance against the API move and Reddit’s deeply shifty practices, but I’m also realistic enough to know we are all Dopamine’s little bitches.
I mean social media sites do die. This could totally be the beginning of the fall for reddit. New apps are created every day. I wont delete my account, I will still turn to reddit when googling specific things, but I find the official app buggy and annoying and there are so many other apps competing for my attention, I totally see myself falling away. My usage won’t be zero, but it will be so much lower than it is right now.
