I swear I’m not trying to promote Reddit, I’m a refugee as many of us here, I just saw this video linked on r/Save3rdPartyApps and it amaze me that many people used Reddit for niche stuff.

So far Lemmy has been great for me, it really scratches the Reddit itch, using Thunder, Voyager, Jerboa and Connect for Lemmy has been a godsend for this site to me (yeah I cycle them all lol) but it is hard for me finding “less popular content”.

I know we are not supposed to lurk to keep improving this site it is hard to stop lurking ngl, I am trying to be more active as many of us do.

Some weeks ago Lemmy wasn’t even a shadow of what it is today, but I wonder if it is gonna get as big to cover those niches that people like.

    Just saying that you can still use that other site without them seeing a dime

    Google your problem. Get the url.

    teddit.net/r/(insert after /r/ in reddit link)

    There are also scripts and Firefox extensions you can install that automatically do it for you.

        Eh… There’s several bots that are ripping content from that site with seemingly good intent in the interest of “populating the fediverse.”

        It’s more spammy than anything else, and I don’t really want this place to become a bot infested hellscape like the place I left.
