I hate reddit like any warm blooded fediverse fan but I cannot deny that if you wanna talk about, say, some obscure punk band’s third record released in 2003 thats where you gotta go
In some pockets yes, but travelling through reddit to find those pockets is like wandering through a sandcastle falling into the sea to find the handful of luxurious dry pristine rooms left.
The nicer the rooms are the sadder it makes you to know it is all for naught and is being washed away in front of your very eyes.
I used to go to reddit often for niche information, these days it barely feels worth the trouble even when there is no alternative source for the information anymore/yet.
Some of those good fan subs got captured by industry insiders in the meantime too and are as bad as the flyers and search results. Companies excel at making the online as shit as the IRL.
Those pages never hit the front page anymore and get less activity over time, app wants you to not look at the communities you are subed to.c shows you anything else, custom feeds works but its a hassle, there isn’t really an alternative
