    Probably. I went searching specifically for reddit alternatives. Found Lemmy immediately and haven't bothered to go looking for others. I assume many here followed the same path I did.

    We're pretty lazy as a species.

    Don't worry, I put a lot more effort into finding alternatives and still landed here.

      My guess would be redlib as the most popular. It lets you read Reddit without having to turn off your VPN or log in.

      I wouldn't really consider that an alternative but that is probably more popular than lemmy

        The most popular Reddit alternative is day drinking and screaming racist abuse at passers by on the street.

          You can export your Lemmy preferences and subscriptions, then create new account at piefed and import the Lemmy stuff.

            "Finding people to follow" struck me as odd. Discussing interests with like-minded people or just lurking and reading smart or dumb things would be the standard, at least in my experience. Maybe your path makes more sense. I'm a bit of an introvert so I usually avoid engaging.

            Discussing interests with like-minded people

            Facebook: discussing different things with friends
            Reddit: discussing the same things with strangers

              I'm pissed that so many people went to Bluesky instead of Mastodon

              Less people on Mastodon, to me, means that the Mastodon community is more purposeful across their instances. Less bloat/spam/etc

                Most popular, probably, but that doesn't mean it's popular. There are some old phpBB forums with more users than all of Lemmy combined.

                  Voyager on android, which is kind of beta-ish, but works good enough. And default web UI which I really like on desktop PC. The only feature I miss in Voyager so far is that "aggregated" threads on desktop, which is an awesome feature.

                    Hey sorry, just wondering if it's still possible to get an invite link to Digg? No worries if not, thanks.

                          Not really, mostly bad decisions, lost all brand identity and uniqeness when they took away the shovel and tomb animations replacing it with basic upvote/downvote
