r/twobestfriendsplay, the second best subreddit for everything

Diversity. People on R were less uniform.

Maybe because they were more.

When there was only one allowed opinion in a sub, then you could often find another sub with the same topics allowed, but the only one allowed opinion was another one.

Reddit started out very similar to the current lemmy/fediverse audience. The nerds go first and eventually everyone else follows.

The "When does the narwhal bacon" crowd was not diverse at all

My points or whatever. I used to be a huge pot head and made some content people really liked so I had some nice numbers.

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

absolutely nothing.

[–] mac@lemm.ee 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Subs/communities for actively watched shows. I find myself needing to browser redlib for insights on, most recently, the white lotus and the last of us

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

I still go back to reddit for r/severanceappletvplus.

!severance@lemmy.world is nice, but not the same.

[–] Libb@jlai.lu 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

r/simpleliving or, more exactly, a more active version of it since the community is there: !simpleliving@lemm.ee. And more people participating in the !journaling@sh.itjust.works community too but hopefully we're slowly getting there.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I always feel like people living simply minimize their time online, so this kind of communities tend to be a bit quiet

The only communities that I still regularly browse on Reddit are the regional communities for the place I live currently and places I've lived previously. Those seem to have little to no activity around here. I no longer participate in them on Reddit, only lurk.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago

i used to but i heard alot of cities or states got astroturfed by right wingers, in my city, theres all these good-two-shoes people.

[–] Una@europe.pub 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

r/notinteresting being everything but not interesting

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

r/countablepixels was pretty interesting too but it looks like all the drama has died out :/

[–] TokenEffort@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

r/libraryofbabel, r/tragedeigh, and r/everyoneknowsthat. But I can live without them.

Tragedeigh gets depressing sometimes as someone who had a horrible name growing up. Libraryofbabel kinda encourages my maladaptive daydreaming and honestly creating !0x255@sh.itjust.works wasn't the best for trying to break out of my daydreaming addiction.

However I can get my Who's Who updates somewhere else. Everyone knows ~~that~~ it, you've got ulterior motives!

[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I still browse and almost caught myself commenting recently. I quickly backspaced and exited out and came over here where I feel safe posting comments and interacting.

the OG communities, that were banned in '16-'17 because the gop started labeling alot of platforms as violent. P45 caused so many people to be overly sensitive, that reddit started banning in large numbers to cull the herd.

and most cities subreddits have been taken over by right wingers.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago

A lot of good people need to make the switch.
