Ive been on reddit for more than a decade. Kinda bittersweet, but its not the first time I have moved on from an internet site. I just cant support reddit and sucking up all my posts for AI purposes. Feels terrible and spammy. Ive been a reddit premium holder for many many years.

Anyways, what communities do you recommend?

Oh, by the way: If you're a fan of the classic "Old.reddit.com" look, the Programming.Dev instance has an identical interface: https://old.programming.dev/?sort=Hot&listingType=All .

It's federated with Lemmy.World so all the same posts will appear. I'm partial to that on Desktop browser, and stick with https://p.lemmy.world for mobile.

It works on lemmy.world as well!

Yeah both lemmy.world and us have the same alternate frontends at the same subdomains (apart from voyager in which they went for m for mobile and we did v for voyager)

Links for all four of them

Photon (p.) - world | programming.dev
Alexandrite (a.) - world | programming.dev
Voyager (m. and v.) world | programming.dev
Mlmym (old.) world | programming.dev

These front ends already added a lot of value for me than Reddit when using the desktop site.

The only thing that is unfortunate about the old.lemmy.world site is that the block feature is broken. I try to curate my All feed by blocking spammers and communities I am not interested in, but nothing happens when you click the Block button on any post.

Interesting, I tried a simple test with a user and it worked fine, blocked them on the first attempt. I actually had difficulty unblocking them later, though, I don't think it "stuck" and had to refresh and/or navigate to a different page, and then unblock them and it worked
