Seeing sticky posts on r/RedditAlternatives like https://teddit.net/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1467a5s/
I don’t see how anything can be coordinated when so many options are presented in a confusing way.
Of course, they don’t have to choose Lemmy / kbin instances, but I’m worried that a lot of people will stay on Reddit given the inability to properly communicate alternatives.
(Bonus: most platforms listed here ( https://teddit.net/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/yttdlc/list_of_active_reddit_alternatives_v8/ ) are terrible and Lemmy is relegated to the “less active” section; furthermore only lemmy.ml is listed, instead of https://join-lemmy.org for example)
I think most big subreddits are closing down but not suggesting good alternatives because they don’t actually want any alternatives, they want Reddit to back down and continue with their subreddits.
I don’t think it’s the big subreddit’s job to suggest alternatives anyway. I’m complaining about the communities specifically made to help find alternatives, which I don’t think are doing it effectively.
