Fediverse

I would suggest blocking the communities that post all the content you don't like. After I did that, it's been smooth sailing, and I read the All feed. There's not that many large news and politics communities that you would need to block to get rid of that stuff on your timeline.

i would also like to like lemmy.

Unfortunately it's userbase seems to have a fairly significant infection of stupidity. (also the lemmy platform is just, underbaked, in general)

But i'm starting to think my standards of not being completely uneducated and spouting literal bullshit on things, is too high for most of the population...

I think i just have a problem with all of humanity, to be honest.

The timing of it all just didn't add up. Reddit started small, too. By the time Reddit failed, Fediverse was still in its infancy, and the communities either stayed in corporate hell or found somewhere else.

It's all I have for proper threading. I won't forgive Reddit for how they treated me and my communities. But, if you are willing to use Reddit, I'm sure it's going the have user advantage (and because of that niche interest advantage) for quite a while. I hope it serves your needs and brings you joy.

You might try building a community here, but that is the "slow boring of hard wood" and it can be difficult to find joy in, especially at first.

As somebody mentioned below, subscribe to communities you find to be of interest and then set your default mode to subscribed so that you only see those that you've actually subscribed to and that goes away a lot. Only browse all if you absolutely run out of content and are still looking to read.

Block FlyingSquid, it improves the community a huge amount.

I get it. I basically have to browse on the everything tab to get enough content, and just block the politics communities because I get enough of that from everywhere else in life. I've been using the lack of content to just ween myself off social media though, rather than go back to Reddit. This is the only "social media app" I have installed on my phone unless you count Discord and YouTube

Lately I tend to prefer lemmy over Reddit and mastodon too. It’s all about content I agree.

I have really been enjoying Comic Strips. There can be some political content, but there's plenty of other interesting and funny stuff too.

Rather than trying to replace something else, it's a good idea to look for what's new to you.

Build Lemmy and they will come!

Funny cause I reduced my recent reddit usage cause I got tired of the toxic post election political liberal cope
