I'd love to see some stats on reddit engagement now. Anecdotally, I logged in just to look at my usual subreddits (the ones that are open) and they seem dead.

I use RSS to get feeds for subs that are not active in lemmy.

Many posts are dog shit level now. Either looking for help or just garbage.

Check out r/lemmino lol.

Oh RSS feed is a good idea. The only sub I still check is r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks xd

Edit: Anyone knows a better free web-based RSS reader than Feedly? It kept sending me to its paid service for trying to sub to a Reddit feed, until I subbed to it via SiftRSS D:

It's funny reading people suggesting RSS on here as a way to replace Reddit. Aaron Schwartz helped create both of them.

Huh, just looked him up, sad that he died so young :c

I like theoldreader. It looks like Google's reader from way back when

[–] kazerniel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I use this app on Android to view my feeds that are on that site:

A fellow leaks enjoyer, hi there! It's also the only community on Reddit I still check as well. Excited for Fontaine?

[–] omgarm@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sound like you two need to get on the sources and start a Lemmy community.

[–] Marxine@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I'd be terrible as a mod, but I might be up to preprare the posts when I hit my vacation in a few weeks.

Also, there's already a community, but with low traction right now.

I have been using CommaFeed for years. I'm not a huge fan of the most current design, but overall it works well.

[–] kazerniel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

thanks, I'll check it out :)

[–] Saneless@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The bots won't stop. And probably have increased. So it'll be tough to see without slices we'll never get

My local area sub is still pretty active, but I did notice that in the other subreddit the comments section is a lot more sparse.

They are probably confused about how to use an app that behaves like an ad carousel
