So as the title says, I feel like I can’t 100% leave Reddit till there is somewhat more community & content in the Fediverse alternative. Don’t get me wrong I feel the Fediverse is a wonderful idea that could be a great replacement for Reddit as well as other mainstream media but how do I move across if most of the content as well as active posters are on Reddit?

    I think it may depend on how you use Reddit. If you use it professionally or for things like research (even non-professionally) then you’re not going to find a reasonable facsimile of that pretty much anywhere. That data and content took decades to build.

    If you’re looking for human interaction (like you want to use Reddit to interact with people on posts or in comments) then you might find that here so long as you can find the topics on which you want to interact on this platform.

    If you want to doom scroll you can sort of do that here but it’s limited by the amount of content creators using the platform. The only way to up that number is to contribute and or encourage others to contribute. That’s not going to happen overnight.

    A lot of the active posters on Reddit may have left. I don’t know for certain (we get a.lot of mixed reports) but I feel like more and more Reddit is filled with bots. That’s subjective because I no longer use Reddit. But it was something I was noticing more and more on Reddit before I left.

    I don’t think you’ll find a one for one comparable site. But perhaps splitting your time between other platforms (fediverse or outside it like Imgur or Tumblr) you might just get what you need?
