Hey folks!
Recent Reddit refugee here. I loved subreddits like r/AskReddit, r/BestOfRedditorUpdates, and r/AmITheAsshole. Are there any communities here that are similar text dumps, and actually populated? It seems like most equivalents just have a handful of posts.
Thanks!
!YouShouldKnow@lemmy.world is like life pro tips but actually helpful advice.
There’s asklemmy and askkbin. Maybe you’d find that helpful
I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “text based”.
You mean with long text posts? Long comments? Just not being memes?
This community is text based. Communities like c/pics are image based. OP wants communities that are focused on discussion rather than sharing images.
Yep, exactly! Thank you
I’m guessing they are meaning communities which aren’t image or meme based yeah. But the fediverse seems more focused on text based threads in its formatting I would say (I’m using Kbin but image posts don’t really stand out that much more than others, unlike Reddit where images were huge. Can’t speak for Lemmy users)
!asklemmy@lemmy.ml (This is the main one)
!asklemmy@lemmy.world (This doesn’t get as much posts)
!amitheasshole@lemmy.world (This one is dead)
!AmItheAsshole@lemmit.online (This seems active, there are a lot of bot reposts from reddit tho. You can view it using archive.is to view the original without giving reddit traffic, or use an adblocker if you are visiting directly.)
Edit: It seems like the AITA replacement is just mirroring reddit. There are not much discussion in the lemmy comment.
Edit 2: Someone below pointed out !aita@lemmy.world is active, yay I love drama 😅 😟
!aita@lemmy.world Seems most active.
The entirety of lemmit.online, is a reddit mirror. That’s what the whole instance is for.
