I had been feeling a bit drawn in to reddit for the past few months before the divorce. I feel like the slower pace at which content comes out on Lemmy is good for me in that way. I can't just scroll and scroll and scroll my entire day away.

Does anyone else feel similar?

I definitely see it as a double edge sword. On one hand I don’t mindlessly scroll as much, on the other, the lack of content is just because I’m figuring out the quirks, and I have a feeling finding new and weird communities could be a McGuffin quest.

I've been constantly going on https://browse.feddit.de/ to see if there any new communities that I'd like to join. Really do wish it were easier to discover communities but it is what it is

You could try sub.rehab for a list of sub equivalents.

There's a few more that I list here.

Is there a way to add stuff to that? I made Evil Buildings on here which isn’t listed on that site. It’s not official, though I’d be happy to speak with the mods of the subreddit if they wanted to chat about it

Edit: Nvm I’m dumb, it’s literally the first link after the top bar of faq and similar

Great site but list view for communities looks like this on my phone, the instances list view worked fine though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I noticed that, the grid view is better on mobile, that's for sure. the list view needs a bit of work to make it reactive, I'll see what I can do.

I love this, thank you!

Not sure if the privacy settings would allow such a thing, but would a recommended feature based on your account be a possibility for the future?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The issue is getting access to your account and figuring out how to "reccomend" communities. The way reddt etc do it is by analyzing other user data, which I don't have. Perhaps we could manually tag communities somehow. πŸ€”

Oh wow, specially the communities view is gold. Thank you! This will be great to share people also when reddit third party clients disappears.
