    It’s still missing a lot of the more niche communities. Most of the game communities I frequent are still almost entirely on Reddit

      Videogame subreddits are the only reason I use Reddit now especially Indiegames and patientgamers, so I used the ReVanced Patcher to patch RiF, so I don’t have to use their shitty app.

        There are patientgamer communities on the Threadiverse now, of which the most-active seems to me to be the one on sh.itjust.works.

        I’ve been looking into that myself, but also would like to cut Reddit off completely since it’s dedicated to enshittification now. I also have no faith that the workaround will keep working as long as spez is an asshole

      I still skip over to Reddit occasionally to check out some of the more niche ones out. But some of them have either really turned bad since they came back from protesting or weren’t that great in the first place and I didn’t realise.

      For instance I used to go on r/AndroidGaming a lot to find decent games for my tablet. But it’s a really repetitive sub with virtually the same questions, same answers, same plugs for shitty games every day.

        Man I hope so, Lemmy is doing better than Mastodon since you need a much smaller critical mass of users to make the place usable but I’m still waiting on several communities before I can actually cut off Reddit completely (though losing 3rd party apps has massively reduced time spent there)
