Wondering how to fill the void if I go off Reddit for good. Though I absolutely abhor what’s happening, there are certain subreddits that over the years have become the only online source of updates about things I cared about…

I can’t help you with your specific updates, but I just wanted to share my experience since the blackout: I only used Lemmy since then and as you know here is less content and less comments, but instead of looking into reddit I just did other things I like, but rarely did because doom scrolling was always the number one. Now I look through Lemmy and maybe spend 1 hour per day. Reddit was 3-6 per day I would say. Now I started to read a book and went through the photo backlog I wanted to sort. So when “filling the void” means “time killing”, then I can recommend to take a step back and do what you like to do but didn’t because of reddit.

Seconding this. I also started to simply directly reading articles on things I found interesting, rather than just reading reddit discussions on things.
