I know most of you want to answer IGNORE REDDIT!!, WE ARE SO MUCH BETTER!!, USE ONLY THE FEDIVERSE!! which I do, but there are several problems with it:
the fediverse sometimes looks like a cult, only a marxist one: China and Russia are good, there are concentration camps in Ukraine, Ukraine belongs to Russia, like Taiwan belongs to China, Israel is a genocidal state, China is so much better than the US…
Some mods on lemmy show the same level of intolerance as some mods on reddit.
I stopped using reddit years ago but I still lurked because some communities there, mostly the non ideological ones, don’t have an alternative: on lemmy there are so many subs with absolutely no content, or one post written 4 years ago, 20 users and 1 visitor per month. That’s not an active community.
reddit won’t stop its enshittification but for the time being there is no alternative for the communities I’m interested in, mostly non ideological ones about medicine, nursing, philosophy, religion, dementia, autism, biology…
And I’m not looking for communities were medicine, biology or dementia are used as an excuse to rant against the current POTUS or to introduce me to the greatness of communism, I really only care about the topics I mentioned.
For some websites that require a log in I use archive.ph but I don’t see how this would work with reddit.
Any ideas? I’m not creating an account with reddit.
old reddit on desktop doesnt get the nag yet here. also there might be other ways to access reddit without going to the site, like libdirect, or continuum app(still janky with compact layout). you can use old reddit on a mobile phone, but it doesnt resize properly, and i havnt seen any addons that can do it effectively.
