I developed a Reddit alternative site - anonview.com. To be honest, I first launched it as an anonymous content viewing site. Now it's time to develop sign up and other features. While developing features, Reddit users' feedback is very valuable to me. What features would you like to see in a Reddit alternative site that you can't see on Reddit?

I already clicked "Show fever posts like this" again and again but they always came, Reddit Team you have to learn about how algorithms work based on what users like, like Instagram, Twitter or even TikTok does. If you don't fix this, eventually no one will use this app. You don't want to end up like Google+, do you?

Anyone can help me with advises? It seems there’s tons of r/ with some mods who won’t listen or care for any negative discussion like such as I would want to invest on this stock but found this.. can you guys help me understand the value of your stock?

I mean yeah there were some profanities in the post but i wasnt the original poster. Simply wanted their opinion and shuts me off.

Most of others are one sided minds.

What can i do to fight back when they dont even want to communicate in regards to ban reason??

Me and a large amount of others have a group chat on Reddit but we are looking for any possible alternatives to Reddit chats, not all of us have discord and the people who don’t don’t have space for it, what’s any over alternatives?

Where can I find servers, forums, or platforms to responsibly discuss and share information about disturbing media found on the internet?

I know a lot of people are probably going to have some feelings about this, but whatever. I'm just looking for a site that isn't like Reddit, where literally every space has been taken over by politics. Politics are important, yes, but I don't need them in every corner of my life, so I'm looking for a more mellow platform. Maybe one hobbyist-aligned with writing, but a place that is more apolitical or just not at all. Or at least one where it's segregated off. Because after being bombarded daily, I've had enough. I still want interactions, just not the politics 24/7.

Just saw that the anonymous message board Discuo is for sale already:

Looks like they got very little traffic if any.

Curious if anyone has found any alternatives that are particularly strong in sports content and dialogue. While I primarily am interested in American Football, I like all sports, and would be curious to hear about alternatives for any/all sports.

I've been using riddet for about a year now. And most of the popular reddits are post of each other with same topics and same content. I wish there is a way to reduce the redundancy.

O.k. so this isn't revolutionary, but we've added an interface to gpt-4o-mini to Headcycle, which can be found here.

Obviously it's an older model, but if you want to know who invented silly putty, the distance from the earth to the moon, when cats domesticated themselves, or any other stuff...it's pretty fun.

p.s. You'll need an account. Sorry, but to cut down on abuse...you know the deal.

So, I’m honestly tired of all the same extremely liberal posts and botting, mod rules being ridiculous and getting shadow banned for having a different opinion. Is there any alternative that is center politically. ALT right isn’t my style either. So looking for something center or center leaning left is fine too.

Reddit is actively censoring any discussion about fediverse platforms such as Lemmy, Pixelfed, and Mastodon.

If that doesn't convince you the fediverse is the most viable alternative, nothing will. Reddit is scared of people hearing about Lemmy, for good reason.

Everywhere I post..I either don't have enough karma. Comment karma at that or I get bashed for anything i put. Or it always just gets deleted. Besides I keep getting scammers. I don't like how any little thing can get you banned from a sub. Even if it isn't your fault. I understand why there needs to be rules in place to keep scammers out but they're not really doing a good job by banning the genuine people and still letting the scammers get by. I'm just about to delete this app and move on. Just had to rant.

I joined Friendica in October of 2024, after Facebook shut down their Basic Mobile site (not app). I recently heard of Lemmy and read that it's a Reddit alternative. How does it compare to Reddit for general use? How do I connect it to Friendica? That is, do I need to create a Lemmy account and link the two, or do I just post with a tag or the at sign with my Friendica account, as with groups?

I am seeking a site similar to reddit but where I can edit and delete my own posts and comments. I was quite annoyed to learn that, even if I delete a post or comment on Reddit, it still remains visible, just without my name attached. I stopped using this site for quite awhile due to this. To me, it just seems like a basic feature. As for alternatives, they can be either regular forum sites or something more like this, but they should be general in nature, so that I can join various groups and/or subscribe to different sorts of topics. I am also totally blind, so I would prefer a text-based site as opposed to one that focuses on images.

We live in 2025, where technology has made amazing things possible. So, here’s a thought: could we interlink the Lemmy protocol with Reddit to enable interaction between the two platforms?

I’m not an advanced IT or coding expert, and I don’t have the resources to figure out who could tackle something like this, but I genuinely believe it’s possible. Imagine this:

You post on Reddit, and because your Reddit account is linked with your Lemmy account, that post automatically shows up on Lemmy.

Any replies you receive—whether on Reddit or Lemmy—would notify you and clearly indicate which platform the response came from.

Reddit content would be searchable and accessible on Lemmy, and Lemmy content would be the same on Reddit, creating a seamless experience between the two.

How would something like this even work? Would Lemmy have to approach the Reddit Corporation to discuss and gain permission to make this happen? Are there specific protocols or APIs that could make it easier to connect the two systems?

If this kind of interoperability could be set up tomorrow, how do you think it would function in practice? Are there technical limitations, or is this something we could realistically achieve with the right expertise?

I’d love to hear your thoughts or insights on how to make this happen—or whether it’s even feasible!

I understand this can be an unpopular question but worth discussing. Is decentralization/federation a big deal for you?

What are the cons of decentralization for you as a user? Are there any reasons you would prefer centralized alternative but with something different than current Reddit?

I enjoy browsing it but like 90% of the content are catered to programmers, sometimes I got interesting stuffs that's not exclusive to programming but it's pretty rare so I don't join the site myself.

the site is reminisce of old reddit but much simpler, very simple list of posts, and they only allow links and self-text (questions)

there's only Upvote, and the number of votes are only for posts (from my point of view as unregistered lurker).

even the Login/Signup page is very simple lol

would be nice to have something similar with broader interest, without all the fluff that reddit has added now, heck doesn't even have to host images, just the ability to post texts & links, maybe add tags (flairs) for categorization.

no profile picture, no awards (maybe some kind of old reddit gold system for monetization), no achievements, maybe easier moderation too because no images.

Any category.

Can anyone help me get unbanned on the Lost Media Wiki Forums? My account name was Laluzerne69. I have no idea why I was banned, nor was I given an explanation as to why. All I know is that I didn't do anything out of the ordinary. All I did was post stuff on the forum. I did offend or hurt anyone, I was polite and friendly to everyone and I have provided help in finding lost media. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I removed all ads from Fan Clubs so everyone can test the site as if they were a member — without ads. Assuming the site ends up profitable enough so that it can continue to grow, I'd like to keep the member experience clean and uninterrupted.

My goal is to bring back that community-feel that predates Reddit and social media (if you were there for it, you know). I was an avid forum user in the late 90's and 2000's, but nearly all of the communities I was a part of eventually met their maker as social media got more popular.

Creating a club provides all the tools needed to build a community where the club can grow with it. No need for another sub club when you get to big. A club leader can just add another forum. 💬

If you check it out, I'd love to hear your feedback. Many of the changes so far were driven by it.

Thanks again!
Mike

The story so far

I'm fed up. Anywhere I post, No matter if it's asking for help, sharing memes know nerdy subreddits I'm part of, or doing random things my posts get deleted. It's only started happening recently after my friends convinced me to set up something to help me and my dad out. I didn't event want to do it, but I know i had to out of having no other option. And despite following every rule to the letter and even messaging mods asking what I did wrong so I could correct it and fix it, or asking if there's hidden details in the rules not available on the Info page, I never get a god damn response.

I don't want to break the rules, I want tk follow them and I've been trying and every time I get that stupid red trash can icon with no message from a bot on what rule I broke, I try to contact mods and it's radio silence, im certain I got shadowbanned because I havent gotten the message saying I've been banned off reddit, I don't get it. I'm trying so hard just to reach out and ask for help, or to just share memes with people, and now no matter what I do, what I change, it's that same icon showing my post gets deleted. I'm so tired and done with it but i don't know what to do about it or what alternatives are there for asking for help or social networking.

My first account had a bit under 500,000 karma and I had it for 5 years.

I had many friends in chat I lost because I had no other way to contact them.

All because someone publicly doxxed me and the mod would NOT remove the post, and apparently calling a mod a dumb ass warrants a lifetime ban on a major account.

2nd account I had close to 100k karama. But Reddit's filters thought the account was compromised so it was shut down. Oddly other people had the same issue around the same time.

I just made a new one months ago but since I posted in a sub the 2nd account had a ban on, it was considered "ban evasion".

Even though the ban was over a year ago, and somehow I'm supposed to remember that.

Know what would of been easier? Removing the damn post.

This site has become highly sanitized and highly censored, and noticed engagement has suffered as a result of this.

You also can't talk to any of the people above at Reddit.

I want to get out of reddit, but I keep coming back because I can't find a place to get all my news for various interests without it being a social network. So, is there a list where I can learn where to get my feed on the latest movies, comics, world news, etc?

I keep getting banned here, I don't like being censored, also not right wing or that kind of person, so I don't want to he stuck with them either. Is voat the only mediocre reddit clone still?

Any forums that lean more towards tech inclined ppl like reddit used to be.

Reddit for example lets you sort by votes (top, hot etc). There's other alternatives which don't have votes (or do have votes but offer an alternative) where posts are sorted by posts with lots of active discussion via recent comments rank higher.

Which one do you think is superior? Would you use an alternative which did not having voting at all but was more based on active discussions/bump?

That's something I have only realized recently despite it being kind of obvious: on old phpBB flat forums (which I personally do not regret as much as others do) you were often browsing by "recent messages" or "active discussion"

On reddit, when you do back and forth with someone for a day or two, quickly no one else reads it or partakes in it.

It would not be a huge difficulty I think to order posts and comments by "active discussion" and would greatly increase the ability to have in-depth discussions. Is there a reddit alternative that proposes that feature?
