Like a lot of others, I've been looking at Reddit alternatives recently which is what landed me here at Lemmy.

How do you think Lemmy compares to Reddit? But also, for people who have tried other Reddit alternatives than Lemmy, how do they compare? What has been the pros and cons of each community for you?

Raddle/squabbles

Anything else.

That's pretty much it that's a direct reddit replacement and is worth using at present.

Saidit is deadit because they got taken over by nutters.

Raddle seems to be edging the same direction, where it's all political asswipes dominating everything.

Squabbles is so far doing a good job at not being dominated by any given group, and is often enough going to mimic reddit's "feel". But it's also not as well developed yet.

But lemmy is where it's at in terms of people. Things are varied enough that no single group is dominating everything. There's enough people from all walks of life to get good info if you're patient. The app ecosystem is booming. It's decentralized to an extent. I think it's going to be the dominant platform for reddit style forum/aggregation. It'll certainly be the dominant non corporate one for a while at least. Maybe a decade or more before corps try and dig their hands in and make headway.
