Where else on the web does everyone hang out? (normalcity.life)

I’m really curious where else everyone here hangs out on the internet besides Lemmy.

I myself am frequently on discord with my wife and friends playing games. I’ve also found myself in and around smaller blogs spaces like Kev Quirk and related people. Reddit used to be a place for me to hang out but I never found a community that I felt connected to. I don’t know if YouTube would be considered a place to hang out, but I frequently spend way more time there than I should. IRC used to be a great place for me.

So, where are your favorite places?

Discord, discuit, twitch, feeder (foss rss feed)

Woah I've never heard of discuit before. Looks really cool. How long have you been on there?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Since the reddit api exodus. It's a small community, but feels very tight knit. It's also the least toxic place out of those I listed, excepting rss.

I refuse to click on the reddit link the creator posted describing what discuit is. Looks like a non-federated appless Kbin?

It's a centralized Reddit clone. Ad-free, at least for now. Supposedly the creator plans to open up the source at some point in the future. There's at least one app I'm aware of (Diskette for Discuit).

Edit: Here is an introduction written by the creator.

Thank you 🙏

Bit dicey for my tastes by the sounds of that

I found this introduction post on discuit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

God.. just reading that takes me back to reddit… I just can’t 😂

Thank you kind stranger

I second Discuit. It was started in response to the Reddit API shenanigans last June. It seems to have avoided the spam and instability that have plagued Lemmy (at least so far).
