How has it been for you? Do you get FOMO feeling sometimes?

I use Reddit less and less but haven’t fully quit yet. Always have this odd feeling of FOMO regards content.

Not only that, some subreddits haven’t migrated to any other platform unfortunately. Or they have but the content is very little compared to Reddits content.

Note - wasn’t sure where to post this. So if this wasn’t the right place, apologies!

The issue I have with Reddit - it’s full of hateful people and most content is just bots karma farming.

EDIT: Thanks for all the responses!

EDIT 2: Thanks for the ones that mentioned RSS-Feed. Just got it and it’s amazing. Still manage to only follow the subreddits that I like without crapads.

I still use reddit when I need to ask some obscure question about some topic that isn't well represented on Lemmy yet. I don't browse or lurk anymore though. (Kind of like how some people just use Facebook for communication and not for the newsfeed.)

Check out beehaw if you're worried about missing news. That lemmy instance has way less shitposting and seems to have healthy discussion.

Between the mixed feeds on Lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, and beehaw I haven't missed any big things that I'm aware of. I have other friends on discord and irl and if they talk about a big news story it's never something I missed.
