Similarweb ranking are...let's just say bizarre.

Take total visits in January

Speakbits - 224 Headcycle - 11.3k

How are they computing global rank off of these numbers?

I'm curious as to your decision to list all ActivityPub platforms separately, but not listing any Lemmy instances other than lemmyworld. Funneling all reddit users directly into the largest Lemmy instance is somewhat antithetical to the advantages of a federated model.

Would you consider either adding other Lemmy instances (like lemm.ee and lemmy.zip) to the list, or linking to join-lemmy.org rather than to the lemmyworld?

Down with Reddit and Spez

Thank you~

Lemmy should be the first thing in the list.

Is there an update for this year?

As someone building a community that doesn't use nested comments, can some of you share what it is that makes nested comments your preferred way to read threads? I'm also interested to learn if anyone here prefers chronological replies as well.

Thanks for keeping these lists up to date.

Which ones let you discuss things that might be illegal in your country? Like drugs.

I think you should remove arete.network as it contains pretty racist communities.

I understand the list creator doesn't want to include this, but Gab is still the best alternative, it meets all his requirements except for having more than 2 levels of nested comments.

General topic.

Might be useful to lift that restriction. There is no need for a Reddit alternative to be "general topic", when you can simply use different sites for different topics. That restriction is especially problematic since it hides the most viable and active Reddit alternatives, namely:

• https://slashdot.org/
• https://news.ycombinator.com/

Both are tech focused, so not "general topic", but unlike so many other alternative they are actually alive, have been around for decades and are not just filled with random memes or leftist/rightwing propaganda.

Anybody have more topic-specific Reddit alternatives?

Edit: Wikipedia has a list.

I added nested comments (reply trees) to bluedwarf.top yesterday, but each user must enable it in his settings, because users on cellphones may not want it. I added this feature specifically because I don't think it should be used as a criterion for separating good social media sites from bad ones, and I wanted to demonstrate how easy it really is to add. The technical features of a site are insignificant compared to the quality of its users.

Has anyone tried Goat Matrix? https://goatmatrix.net/

Here's a new one called Orbyt: https://www.orbyt.social/
