Damn, time to actually stop using reddit I guess. I wish I could say Lemmy scratches the itch, but there just aren't any of the communities I care about here. Just seems like there are a bunch of awful memes and copies of my least favorite subreddits.
I had better luck after I started searching for specific communities no matter which instance they were on, and blocking communities and bots.
Also, change sorting options to Top Hour or Top 3 Hours. The sorting by Hot or Active just doesn't work very well yet.
There's definitely less content than on Reddit but I was able to find replacements for pretty much everything I was following, including niche stuff. And the less content is a plus too, gets me off my phone.
Try checking out some other instances. Sh.itjust.works has some good stuff on it. I searched for Lemmy alternatives for reddit and found a few different instances that mostly scratch my itch.
Be the change ypu want to be! Create those communities! Add content to those communities! In some time those communities will grow!
Be the change you want to see. Start a community!
I just found out you can patch RIF using revanced manager so now I'm back haha. it feels like going back to an abusive ex but damn does it feel good
