Libreddit does work, but not all instances of it do.

beehaw - tight-knit diverse, lgbtq and positivity reddit
Mastodon: open-source, in the fediverse, open for signups (depending on the instance)
Bluesky: proprietary, invite-only (for now), not in the fediverse but has its own network of domains
Out of the open platforms, I use:
Reddit: Lemmy, Beehaw, Kbin
Twitter: Mastodon, Calckey
Facebook: idk nothing really plus I don’t even use Facebook that much anymore
I may occasionally use proprietary ones like Twitter, Tumblr and Threads.
And I have nowhere to go but Kbin because Beehaw is unstable and I don’t want to open up a fourth account. Accumulating fediverse accounts should be the last thing you do
I think that the moment YT starts actually blocking people who use ad blockers, we need ot start pushing for the adoption of PeerTube the way we did for Lemmy, kbin and Mastodon.
A couple things I would like to see on kbin:
Otherwise, this is pretty much perfect so far.
On the other hand, it makes spammy articles from content farms the primary resource to find answers.
And either way, not everybody is doing this, so Reddit retains part of its usability, which still exists, and some portion of people will still use Reddit after the API changes.
It’s your decision, and I hate Reddit and Spez ever since they decided to do the whole API thing, but personally, if I were to close my account, I wouldn’t scramble all of my comments and posts. It makes it harder for people who still search for answers to questions on reddit to find what they’re looking for. You aren’t preserving valuable information with this, you’re destroying it.
It’s a terrible decision, but I think they just couldn’t keep the servers up for the average user because of the “optimizations”. People look for news on Telegram anyway nowadays.
Just shows how there is no “correct” side in this story. Awkward being a terrible power-hungry mod on one hand, and Spez deciding to prioritize on profit over community and usability on the other.
Mastodon and Firefish have been good alternatives for me, not to mention, they’re part of the same fediverse as KBin
