Go to lemmyverse.net and load up your subscriptions with more active communities, and I’ll bet you will barely notice that reddit is gone aside from less/slower (but better IMO) content and lower upvote counts.

I’d recommend sticking around a bit and subscribing to more places. A lot of people have been able to replace Reddit (and waste similar amounts of time here)

My tips are

• Subscribe to more communities. After searching for something on LemmyVerse, if you find 3 communities that might be interesting, subscribe to them all.

  • On Reddit, a community with low subscribers is usually dead. On Lemmy, there is a lot more engagement on the content so even the dead looking community will give you interesting content over time

• Feel free to comment and post more. People are more likely to respond here

It isn’t a 1 to 1 perfect copy of Reddit, it’s different :)

You can also pop in to [email protected] to ask questions or say hi :)

My advice is try “Hot” sort and “Top Day” (or 6/12 hours depending on how you like to check). And set the scope to “All” instead of “Local”.

The default Active sort has always been kind of meh to me. Hot is more like Reddit’s Rising feed.

Try Sync for Lemmy.
