I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I got my uBlock Origin ready to kill all the ads. That shitty website will not get a cent out of me.

What about you? Do you still use reddit?

    I don’t think the “algorithm”, has to have that nefarious vibe that people think. Lemmy already has sorting algorithms…they are just shit. If they balanced it so that quantity from large communities doesn’t flood out smaller communities, it would be a much better browsing experience. Devs don’t need to mess with the type of content being displayed to us, just tamper down the volume from the larger communities. Reddit was good at doing this.
