Quora, basically.
I don't think I've ever successfully read one of those, because Google brings me to the site and then it demands I log in. They even go so far as to blur all the content. It's really really stupid.

It sure seems like half the herd has wandered off.
It's funny you post this. Not more than 5 minutes ago I was trying to figure out what was wrong with Firefox on my phone. I kept trying to login over and over again on mobile and it didn't work.
A week or so ago, I really felt like reddit was nearly an S tier social media platform. It's heartbreaking to see it completely destroy itself. It's nearing Twitter in how bad it works.
He defecated through a sunroof!
So, what's going to be the first NSFW post?
As a red-blooded, straight cisgender male American... I vote for... Saul Goodman's ass. (Reference to "Better Call Saul")
And I'm enjoying lemmy.world
I wonder if the new Delorean will feel "classic" enough to be a worthy successor. Or if it'll be like a movie reboot -- the logo is the same, but that's about it.
Still, there were underlying safety problems with that car that they need to address -- like being able to exit the car during a fire. And if they fix those, is it really a Delorean anymore?
I visit /r/cars A LOT. I'm going to miss that one.
I suspect a new CARS community will pop up here pretty soon, though.
Yeah. They shut down subs like fatpeoplehate. So those are the type of people who went to voat.
It's normal to grieve. If reddit were a spouse, I'd have one hell of a marriage (in a good way). Eleven years and multiple hours of interaction each day?
I've grown concerned how reddit has such a monopoly on message boards. (As I am still concerned at the monopoly Twitter has had). Like, it's to a point where I was googling the word "reddit" next to my question to get good answers. This is a testament to the community there.
The nice thing here is that Lemmy demonstrates that some competition exists. I can still have a fun chat online without relying solely on one company.
Been working great. Wiped 4 accounts, including one of mine that's been active for EIGHT years.
I would have thought so of myself, but yet, here we are
These federated let me things really really remind me of the way Reddit used to be about a decade ago. And frankly, now that I found the Jerboa app, I really don't miss Reddit at all.
I just wanted to find a place where I could scroll around and chat with other nerds. And that's basically what Lemmy is.
