The community has "reopened" since this post yesterday but all content that exists on the sub up to one month ago has been removed. The sub is now totally inactive as you can't make new posts.

The more time passes, the more I started to see the flaws in Lemmy design and development which will prevent it from being something meaningful.

Which lead me to ask, is there is any worthy alternative to Reddit?

• I tried HackerNews , but it does not seem very fit.
• Tildes seem to have way more problems than Reddit, development and moderation.
• Saidit seems to be almost dead and have zero active Android clients.
• Discuit used to have a potential, but they are stuck in toxic positivity phase and the admins does not seem to understand how to moderate and it seems that they will have the same fate as Ruqqis.

Anything else?

"Strange things are happening online these days. Strange bad, clearly. But also strange good. One unexpected development is that Reddit, long dogged by a reputation for mischief and mayhem, has achieved a kind of mass appeal. If you ask your friends where they’ve been hanging out online lately, you’re likely to hear some of them say Reddit, actually, perhaps with a tinge of surprise."

Thoughts?

I recently posted the following item on this website un der Xiaomi: https://lemdro.id/post/lemdro.id/12693729

Prior to posting here, I had tried to post the same item in the Xiaomi subreddit on Reddit.

My posting was removed instantaneously. I mean so fast that it could not have been done by a human.

I was presented with the follwing message:

*Sorry u/dromani, your post has been automatically removed.

Your account is brand new or has low karma, and our subreddit experiences a lot of spam from new accounts or help vampires which think we're an Official support outlet for Xiaomi (which we're not). As such, we remove submissions from these accounts to prevent it.

• Reddit is discontinuing its blockchain-based Community Points system, affecting tokens like MOON, BRICK, and DONUT used in specific subreddits for tipping and premium features.
• The announcement led to a drastic decline in the value of these tokens, with MOON losing more than 85% of its value shortly after the news.
• Reddit cited scalability issues and regulatory concerns as reasons for the discontinuation, shifting focus to its newer Contributor Program that rewards users with actual money.
• After November 8, Community Points will be removed from users' Vaults, and any remaining points will be "burned" by year-end; however, Reddit's NFT marketplace will remain operational.
