How has it been for you? Do you get FOMO feeling sometimes?

I use Reddit less and less but haven’t fully quit yet. Always have this odd feeling of FOMO regards content.

Not only that, some subreddits haven’t migrated to any other platform unfortunately. Or they have but the content is very little compared to Reddits content.

Note - wasn’t sure where to post this. So if this wasn’t the right place, apologies!

The issue I have with Reddit - it’s full of hateful people and most content is just bots karma farming.

EDIT: Thanks for all the responses!

EDIT 2: Thanks for the ones that mentioned RSS-Feed. Just got it and it’s amazing. Still manage to only follow the subreddits that I like without crapads.

    I had fully left Reddit ever since the API changes but checked in very very rarely every now and then whenever I googled something and Reddit results were the only results actually answering my questions. I don’t really miss it, and I found that I do spend way less time scrolling mindlessly, so that helped.

    What kind of killed me was my deleting my account. I had been starting up PowerDeleteSuite in the last couple of months to get rid of my comments and posts, but I didn’t leave my PC running for long enough to delete everything whenever I actually remember to start it up. Now, I finally deleted everything and deleted my account too. I wasn’t using the account at all, but it made really sad to see the account go for good this time. Similar feeling to when I deleted RIF off my phone.

    It was a good run.
