Where have your technical subs moved to?


As some one with ADHD-like maladies, I have been unable to use reddit since about 2017. Their aggressive attention stealing techniques hurt me greatly. I stopped using it except as tech support of last resort.

I'll be relieved if most of the tech subs move to a less user-hostile platform.

So, can we start making a list of where the best subs are moving to? I'm out of the loop, but I know KDE, for example, have moved to https://discuss.kde.org/

Mostly to Lemmy instances

tildes.net, lobste.rs, ycombinator and lemmy.world are some of them to the best of my knowledge. Of course, a big number is still battling it out on reddit itself, some are pushing the mods to open up the dark subs while others are joining alternative subs and having those discussions anyway.

Don't try lemmy just yet though, I think it is excruciating under too many uers, the platform isn't entirely bug free. Writing decentralized social network is complicated and takes time.
