Louis Rossmann calls community to leave Reddit

1. effit

   1 1 1 10.0 HTML

   Discontinued effit is a single evening attempt at creating a reddit-like website.

   When this started, I jokingly told my friend, "F it. I'll make my own reddit." Over the course of the evening (and just tinkering around some more the next day), I tossed this together: https://github.com/RemmyLee/effit/

   Again, it was more of a joke than anything, but it quickly made me realize that the core of reddit is pretty easy to quickly toss together. If anyone wants to take that mess of code and do anything with it, by all means, feel free to.

3. teddit

   alternative Reddit front-end focused on privacy https://teddit.net

   

   Someone should just convert the Teddit UI into a Lemmy theme.

4. Lemmy

   3 1,611 14,423 9.6 Rust

   🐀 A decentralised discussion platform for communities.

   

   I agree with you, but I am actually finding some enjoyment in using something that's at an earlier stage. I'm not normally the early-adopter type and Lemmy does fundamentally work - its issues are missing features rather than bugs.

   I also don't think Lemmy is too far from the prime time. Based on my usage over the last week, its perfectly usable and I think it needs two things for it to get to the point where I could just tell a non-technical friend to join without a long explanation of things they need to know:

   * A better approach and advice for which instance to register on. https://join-lemmy.org/ is OK but isn't the ideal landing page for someone who isn't a SW engineer

5. Lobsters

   4 318 4,690 9.8 Ruby

   Computing-focused community centered around link aggregation and discussion

   

   https://lobste.rs/ and https://raddle.me/ are "Reddit style" sites. Slightly different approaches to moderation and signup.

   Lemmy and Kbin are the future I'd like. As siblings have said they're federated - you have an account on one, but you can subscribe to and interact with communities (subreddits) on any. This is the same way that Mastodon works - it's actually the same underlying protocol (ActivityPub).

6. Discourse

   5 212 47,190 10.0 Ruby

   A platform for community discussion. Free, open, simple.
