Anybody else noticed that they just described reddit to a t (minus the fact that Reddit does offer more niche communities, and I am ASSUMING that’s what they mean by more content). I’ve been on Reddit since 2012. And I promise you the only thing that’s ever changed about reddit is the bots and content farms. It’s always been shitty mods, shitty people, and mostly shitty content. The height of reddit IMHO was the r/circlejerk era. Reddit was shit, but at least people acknowledged it, and were very tongue in cheek about it.

When reddit was coming up, a big issue people had was it was too confusing with bad UI. People didn’t know which subreddits to follow. Its very similar, theres just a whole other layer.

Just find a popular instance that is federated with similar instances. And making accounts are easy too, so just do it in two or three instances. Yeah it’s a bit much compared to reddit, but it’s very very easy.
