I was genuinely surprised that Quora was brought up as a Reddit alternative since like you said it was basically AskReddit, NoStupidQuestions, etc 24/7
I know Raddle and Tildes are open source. Not federated though.
So obviously a lot of us are partial to kbin/Lemmy but have any of you explored the other alternatives like Raddle, Squabbles.io, and Tildes?
I made an account on Raddle because r/egg\_irl and r/ennnnbyyy moved there and I also made one on Squabbles.io because some of the subreddits I joined had an analogous one on Squabbles.io. I haven't use either enough to form a good opinion on them. Raddle seems to be predominantly political, and I'm trying to limit my exposure to politics and prevent doomscrolling.
What are your thoughts on these alternatives?
ewwww I just wanted to see r/traa again 😭😭😭
I can often tell which of my dogs has walked into my room from their pawsteps
Defunctland's documentary on trying to find out who made the Disney Channel theme. It's an oddly specific topic, but it's so well made and I was invested the entire time. It's also surprisingly tearjerking towards the end.
Because of his video you can now look up "who made the Disney Channel theme" on Google and the person's name is in big bold letters. I strongly recommend against spoiling it for yourself though.
@melroy Thanks a million!
But Moana's animation was so beautiful...it was one of the best parts of that movie.
That is actually really cool of them!
It just makes me so damn sad that a lot of blind/visually impaired people won't be able to enjoy posts on Reddit anymore...
fucking hell. this sucks so fucking much. i hate these API changes so fucking much and there's nothing i can do about it.
I saw a thread from a certain magazine in my Random Threads and I decided to block it, but the thread remained even after refreshing multiple times. And when new random threads were shown, they pulled some from magazines I already blocked (I checked, I blocked those instances and it wasn't just a magazine from a different instance with the same name). Why is it doing this? This seems like it goes against the whole purpose of blocking an instance.
Are you unable to favorite/save/bookmark posts on Kbin? Like the same way you can bookmark posts on Mastodon?
I was super confused by that too.
It's worth noting, however, you're often able to post the link to a post on another Fediverse platform into the search bar of a Mastodon instance and interact with it from there. I was able to do that for a Pixelfed post.
I remember seeing a kid in my chemistry class play Zelda on his calculator! I never looked into how to do that though.
Wait, what makes him toxic?
