What is to Reddit, as Reddit was to Digg?

Question

nikivi · Accepted Answer

Reason Digg faded was that Reddit decentralized moderation across subreddits. Although there are still some global rules set by Reddit (no drug sourcing is one I personally disagree with).https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy is federated Reddit. It's also open source just lacks community. Some things are also already better like more performant front end. If I was to bet on something to overtake Reddit, it would probably be it.

Facebook Groups, unfortunately; much less interesting than Reddit, but touching a far greater % of the population.

It doesn't yet have the features that will make it a real competitor, but I'm working on something called https://littr.me
It is a decentralized link aggregator based on ActivityPub.
There are also a number of other projects using the same paradigm in various states of development. In my opinion, when these will come together and intercommunicate with one another then we can say they represent the competition.

Ruqqus[0]. Its Reddit with a focus on anti-censorship. It was launched in 2019, so the community is not quite mature yet.
As you can probably guess, it is a truly hateful place.
Practically speaking it is essentially (from my observation) a safe space for racism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, covid denial, dangerous conspiracy theories, misinformation, etc.
I hesitate to bring attention to the site at all because I don’t want the hate to proliferate, but I suppose it is better to know this exists rather than letting it incubate hate under the radar.
Edit: I also want to say I think anti-censorship is noble and Ruqqus, as a technology, is pretty well done. I think building a non-hateful community on Ruqqus would elevate it to be better than Reddit.

Maybe Usenet can have a comeback.

Try out https://saidit.netIt uses the old reddit open source code, and the administration is even based around the pyramid of debate, similar to hackernews.

Hacker News. Once upon a time, Digg was good for tech-related news. It became more popular and people switched to Reddit and now to HN. I&rsquo;m here for the same reason I was on Digg years ago.

Things with subs (Usenet, Reddit) are not comparable to things without (Digg, HN). I don't know of a significantly growing successor to Reddit.

I don&rsquo;t think there is one (yet?). Apart from already mentioned ones, there is also Urbit, which is different in its own ways.
