A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Before the subreddits went dark, I used a tool to see which subreddits I've posted to and commented on the most. Then, I added in a few subreddits that I had newly joined and so weren't represented in the data.
I had a list of 17 subreddits. I actually subscribe to over 30, but clearly the others weren't that important to me. I've replaced at least 7 of those (including the top 2) with Lemmy. Most of the others really need no replacement as they were just time killers.
About the only subreddit that I really care about that I haven't found a good Lemmy replacement for is r/LEGO. Yes, there's a Lemmy alternative and I've subscribed to it, but there are few people there.
So if I do return to Reddit, it will likely be for 1 subreddit only. I'll unsubscribe to everything else and deal with Reddit trying to push me into other discussions while I help the Lemmy LEGO community grow.
There is a LEGO community there https://lemmy.world/c/lego
That's the one I joined. Only 19 people are subscribed there, though, versus over a million in the LEGO subreddit. It's got some room to grow before it can be a complete replacement for me, but I'll definitely be sticking around there.
Someone has to be the early adopter, right? Give it time. People will follow.
What's the Lego place? I want to hop over there. Also if we could get the Phoenix Trainworks guy that'd be great.
Here it is: https://lemmy.world/c/lego
It's only got 19 users now (vs over 1 million in the LEGO subreddit), but I'm sure this will grow.
Could you share that tool? Seems useful
It is https://redditmetis/. You put in your username and it will tell you stats about where you post and comment among other things. (Look for Top Subreddits By Number of Comments and Top Subreddits By Number of Submissions.)
It seems to be down.
OP forgot the .com in the link
https://redditmetis.com/
It's working for me. I typed out the address before. Let me try copy/pasting: https://redditmetis.com/
Yes, that worked - although not on my phone for some reason. Or rather, it opened on my phone, but crashed when I tried to get it to process my username. It worked correctly on my desktop, though.
Can't say I like it much. It knows too much about me in some areas, and it's completely wrong about me in others!
