How has it been for you? Do you get FOMO feeling sometimes?

I use Reddit less and less but haven’t fully quit yet. Always have this odd feeling of FOMO regards content.

Not only that, some subreddits haven’t migrated to any other platform unfortunately. Or they have but the content is very little compared to Reddits content.

Note - wasn’t sure where to post this. So if this wasn’t the right place, apologies!

The issue I have with Reddit - it’s full of hateful people and most content is just bots karma farming.

EDIT: Thanks for all the responses!

EDIT 2: Thanks for the ones that mentioned RSS-Feed. Just got it and it’s amazing. Still manage to only follow the subreddits that I like without crapads.

I'll preface this by saying that yes, I am an idiot.

I don't really miss anything about Reddit that I'm not getting here on Lemmy except for the constant attempts to convince me that I'm not actually an idiot for investing WAY to much money into GameStop. I used to browse Superstonk a fuck ton every single day in some vane attempt to convince myself I didn't seriously throw thousands of dollars of the only money I had, straight down the drain. So after almost 3 years of that constantly, I became addicted to it to some degree convincing myself that big money was always just around the corner and the dire straits I put myself into were going to be worth it in the long run; and at first I did feel like I was missing out on information.

I'm no longer concerned with seeing that info and with that, I'm completely released from the Reddit hold.
