Find your next diving spot. A list of subreddit alternatives on different platforms.

Someone recently asked if there was a neat way to see where all of the now broken down subreddits moved.

Some moved to Discord, some to Lemmy, and some are somewhere else.

This seems to be a good place to find your communities again: https://sub.rehab/

      Have to agree. Discord added a forum post view to popular communities which is sorta like Reddit, but not really. For really large communities, the noise from high traffic channels is tough to filter out.

        Oh, of course, you gotta tell people where communities went. I just find Discord a questionable alternative to Reddit.

      Agree. It’s good for small communities that want to have an ongoing conversation but it’s horrible for large communities. No easy way to scan content, find info, or even engage in a conversation.

        Using discord as a replacement is like permanently sorting by new. I really like the voting mechanic and that’s what set Reddit apart, along with subreddits.

        It’s not functionally the same.

        Exactly. Switching from Reddit to Discord is just switching from a website controlled by one evil corporation to one controlled by a different evil corporation. Discord is still in hyper-growth mode, so they aren’t going to be screwing over users yet. Reddit is in “cash out our chips” mode, so screwing over users for profit is the way to do it. In 2-3 years, the investors in Discord will start wanting to see revenue. That’s when they’ll start introducing user-hostile features.

        Yes, Discord is centrally managed just like Reddit and has the added disadvantage of not being publicly viewable.

          While it’s a massive pain for a lot of reaaons, it’s also an advantage in many ways, reddit went wayy down hill due to more and more people coming to the site

    Just took a glimpse and saw that AITA is listed to have migrated to kbin. But when I check it they only have 30 subscribers whereas the lemmy.world /c has over 600 subs.

    Does this site reflect where the oroginal mods went? Or did every sub announce where they‘re officially migrating to?

    (I am aware that i can see all the comms in my feed. I‘m just wondering how this site works)

      Yeah, I’m kind of wondering where this data is coming from… for instance it lists /r/sysadmin moved to sysadmins.zone… but who decided that? There’s literally nothing about that website anywhere on /r/sysadmin on reddit, and that page only has like 20 users on it whereas the sysadmin community here on lemme has around 1,500 people on it.

    Ahh looks like it requires it to be minimally active, I Hope my version of character forge takes off but it’s also a really slow reddit to begin with!

    This is great info, I’ll be sharing it around !

    I’m new to Lemmy/The Fediverse but I am a little confused on how to use this website. So when I go to that website I see links to a bunch of places. I personally created my account on lemmy.world, but all of the links on that website go to other websites that I’m not logged into and I can’t use my lemmy.world login to sign into (can I?).

    So to use the website, I have to go to a second tab to http://lemmy.world/communities# and then search to find the same websites that are on that page.

    Am I getting that right, or is there a way to use links in the fediverse to open onto their equivalent on my host? Hope I’m asking this right but I’m very confused about how to handle things like external sites and links.

      you can simply mutate the url from https://other.instance/c/community to https://your.instance/c/community@other.instace but yeah, it’s a pain. It’s a good opportunity for a simple browser extension or script that does some URL rewriting.

      I found that on mobile, Jerboa has some instance url associations for major instances and that means that links can open in that, where you’re logged in to your account on your home instance, and it handles it. but it’s been hit-and-miss for me as to whether it’ll open in the app or continue in mobile browser.
