I thought this was an interesting post and discussion on selfhosted. Thoughts?

Some great points, but it’s nonsense to say r/selfhosted isnt about selfhosting. I’ve learned so much there.

    It’s likely not as bad as you think. :) It took a bit of adjusting for me realising I didn’t have several endless AskReddit threads a day to scroll through, but for 99% of my usage it’s great here. It’s also nice being able to interact with posts while not being one of the first commenters. I get more interactions here than Reddit. The only things I go to Reddit for are specific subreddits like dashcam videos, but that’s a once a month or perhaps less frequent affair.

      Tbf the quality on Reddit really nosedived.
      I frequented the sysadmin, mildlyinfuriating, homelab, spicypillow (and adjacent), AskMeReddit and some other subreddits.
      The quality in some of the bigger and less moderated spaces is atrocious.
      The most upvoted posts compare with actual spam on Lemmy but they prevail on Reddit.

        Yep exactly. I’ve also noticed that a lot of subreddits are also run by mods pushing certain agenda’s, removing anything they don’t agree with. Doesn’t make for a very healthy community.
