I posted a few weeks ago about how I didn’t feel like quitting reddit just yet. and, honestly, I still have a hard time not opening my phone every five minutes to check it.
but I decided to quit because I realized how much of a negative echo chamber it was. I couldn’t even mute certain words on the reddit app so I had to keep seeing the same shit over and over again in the popular feed.
it’ll be a long road moving from one platform to another, but I’m pretty satisfied not being strangled by reddit’s overwhelming snark and negativity.
dunno if anyone here feels a similar way, but felt like sharing my thoughts.
I’m in the same boat from Reddit Is Fun, and I went with Sync, which in hindsight was a bad idea. Sync’s creator abandoned it after getting an influx of donations. I’ll have to find a new Lemmy browser soon as many of the year old formatting templates are outdated.
My personal favorite is Boost but it hasn’t seen an update in quite awhile. Thunder is the leading contender to replace Boost if it doesn’t update soon. Thunder is seeing very active development and has a ton of customization options to suit your needs. There are several options out there now though. Probably worth trying them all.
