I’m tryna get my friend off Reddit and to join the Lemmy dark side. He seems cooperative so far. What communities should I recommend to him?
What I did was search for similar communities/subreddits I followed on Reddit. After that, went through “communities” and subbed to any that looked interesting.
We need people to take the best/smart stuff from reddit and discuss it here with sources that aren’t enshitified.
Once people see the same or better content here, you’ve planted them here.
This site is like reddit 1.0 when the front-page had BSD/Linux discussions. Hopefully the enshitification of social media continues.
It took Digg slipping once to enrich reddit.
This place doesn’t work like reddit. I mean, it’s supposed to, but the communities are too small. Everyone basically reads the “All” feed and uses the communities as hashtags essentially.
There are some larger communities, but this place kind of sucks
