One thing I really liked reddit for was reading news and talking about it. I have stopped posting or commenting there now and am in the process of slowly wiping my posting history... but I still browse it for current events a decent bit as it's just a lot more active than over here.

I think my new goal is that whenever I see a news post over there I would really like to comment about, I'm gonna post it over here in a relevant magazine and start a comment in that new Kbin thread instead. Seems like a really easy way to nudge myself into getting more content going over here.

Just kind of a Kbin meta shower thought I guess. Cheers.

I'd suggest bookmarking the original sources you find on Reddit, and post interesting content directly from those sources. I've taken this approach since leaving Reddit in late June; only visiting for a handful of reasons (r/place event as an example).

This way you bypass Reddit entirely. Become the change you want to see in the world...that kind of thing. I think the best way for any alternative social media site to be successful is to just not visit Reddit.

Yeah good tip. I just generally don't have a ton of time to personally aggregate news and whatnot from a variety of sources
