Reddit is considered one of the most human spaces left on the internet, but mods and users are overwhelmed with slop posts in the most popular subreddits.

    Reddit was ruined for me a couple of years ago and AI wasn’t involved. I no longer interact there but I do still read Reddit occasionally. Personally I find it difficult to wade through hundreds of one-liners without forgetting what the post was about.

      I find the usefulness of a subreddit is inversely proportional to its size (popularity). There are still some good ones but they are quite small.

      I had hoped Lemmy would fill this void for me but it’s still too small overall such that the smallest communities are barely active at all. Thus I tend to just scroll the feed of everything and see what catches my eye, admittedly a much less useful way to spend my time since I get sucked into ragebait instead of discussing cool hobbies.

        That thing hasn’t been maintained for almost 3 years.

          There is a fork that usually works: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib

            Nice. Thanks. I’ll install it in a Proxmox LXC.
