Seeing sticky posts on r/RedditAlternatives like https://teddit.net/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1467a5s/
I don’t see how anything can be coordinated when so many options are presented in a confusing way.
Of course, they don’t have to choose Lemmy / kbin instances, but I’m worried that a lot of people will stay on Reddit given the inability to properly communicate alternatives.
(Bonus: most platforms listed here ( https://teddit.net/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/yttdlc/list_of_active_reddit_alternatives_v8/ ) are terrible and Lemmy is relegated to the “less active” section; furthermore only lemmy.ml is listed, instead of https://join-lemmy.org for example)
I hear the gaming subs are going to Discord. 😒
I don’t understand how discord is even sort of similar - how can a live messaging app substitute for a forum?
You can make posts and create threads inside threads now. The tags and roles are pretty useful for a community too. Still, doesn’t compare to an actual forum, especially since you can’t vote or sort the comments.

I don’t like it but on paper it has the essential features.
They learned nothing.
Honestly, those subs are often very toxic—won’t really miss them.
