    Your absolute best bet is to sort All/New, build a filter list of users, communities and instances that you don’t want to see content from and enjoy and active feed of content that interests you. This would never work on a site like reddit but due to the niche nature of the fediverse, it’s the best way to keep from feeling like you’re the only one here.

    I can’t think of anything Reddit could do aside from turning off the site that would make a significant dent in the traffic. Take Twitter as an example. It’s now run by a sieg-heiling Nazi that promotes his AI that will help users make child porn(paying customers only) and customizes the algorithms to hide any content that doesn’t promote the agenda of the world’s richest person and people still use it although there are at this point a multitude of competing platforms.

    I’m confident Reddit will continue to be heavily populated for the foreseeable future.

    I found Piefed to have some minor refinements to Lemmy, enough so that I moved to it for everyday browsing. Probably the most important for me is the combining of multi-community duplicate posts. The way I browse(All/New) will often result in seeing the identical post crossposted to 5-10 other communities. In Lemmy, it results in endless scrolling of duplicate content, especially if more than one person happens to be doing it at a certain time. In Piefed, when it works correctly, I’ll see only one example of the post and it will offer a dropdown if I’d rather see it from another community. Things like that really help soften the rough edges of the fediverse.

    I’ve also heard that it’s more quickly developed than Lemmy but I have no firsthand knowledge of that.

    At the end of the day, you can see the exact same feed regardless of which your using so just pick the one that makes your time on the fediverse more pleasant.
