Does anybody else continue to frequent Reddit, albeit without an account? (lemm.ee)

There are simply some communities I can't find on Lemmy. For example, I use subreddits based on admissions to specific colleges that would never be able to function on Lemmy due to its size. I'd much prefer to abandon Reddit altogether but the information I need is usually only there.

Not really. My old account had a curated list of subreddits that was vast (hundreds) and content-wise, kept me miles away from the ugliness that is the actual front page content of reddit.

I went and browsed the front page once after deleting my account and felt kinda sick tbh.

I did go read the episode discussions for several Strange New Worlds episodes and Fionna and Cake though. I miss those big group moments where all the details are discussed and appreciated and nowhere else really has that in the same scale (I hate discord and it's not the same).

Honestly the only things I miss from reddit is the Imaginary Network. :(

Wish they would make a home on Lemmy/kbin.

What's that?

It's basically just a network of art communities for different things - like imaginary faeries, imaginary castles, etc.
