What are some kbin or Lemmy alternatives to common Reddit subs?
I’ll certainly miss r/unexpected, r/guitarlearning, r/damnthatsinteresting, r/historymemes and many more
Hopefully this can turn into a useful thread for everyone looking to replace Reddit with a close enough experience, and maybe even a better one once it gains traction
Here are some I have found:
- m/TodayILearned
- m/showerthoughts
- m/mechanicalkeyboards
- Memes@lemmy.ml
- Gaming@beehaw.org
- Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml
- Rust Programming@lemmy.ml
- Technology@beehaw.org
Up top, if you hit “Magazines” it gives you a list of magazines on Kbin, sorted by subscriber count. You can find recreations of common Reddit communities here. There’s also a search function to look for a particular magazine. These are the ones you mentioned:
@unexpected (mobile link) - doesn’t appear to have a Kbin equivalent yet. Note that because federation is currently off it’s not showing all the posts
@guitar (mobile link) - not learnguitar, but close
@damnthatsinteresting (mobile link)
@historymemes (mobile link) - another one without a Kbin equivalent ATM
As for other suggestions, I’m a bit biased. I moderated /r/Disneyland on Reddit, and I’ve recreated it here on Kbin alongside some of the original mod team: @Disneyland (mobile link). I didn’t moderate /r/modeltrains… but I saw there wasn’t any model train communities on here, so I decided to create @modeltrains (mobile link).
As far as things I don’t moderate, here’s a bunch of cool communities I’ve found here on Kbin. Note that Kbin magazines are case-sensitive (something I’d wish they’d change):
