Reddit alternatives (that aren't Mastodon)


With the upcoming APIocalypse, where are reddit refugees to go?

Hard Requirements:

NOT Mastodon. That's simply a different paradigm. NOT tech only. Wide spectrum discussion. NOT an alt-right hive.

Soft Requirements:

A decent mobile interface, preferably a non-crappy iOS app. Not overtly commercial/meme/crypto oriented

Lemmy is to Reddit what Mastadon is to Twitter

> NOT an alt-right hive.

Lemmy is the only alternative I have seen so far that has learned from the failures of Voat.

But the userbase is tiny, and smaller than even niche subreddits.

We don't have one right now, reddit is still a unique place (in good and bad ways).

I've been using hive for 5 years now. Solid tech, good people, actually decentralized. Communities (like subreddits) for niche interests. Dozens of front-ends with different focus and style. I've only used the android mobile client but it's pretty slick.

Hey there, we've spent the past one year building an app that's essentially a reddit alternative with better cross language support. We're currently in beta and looking for more users. Please check it out on https://spyke.social

...assuming another reddit model is desired. Reddit turned into a cesspool long before it's API changes.
