I checked back in briefly today and it seems like reddit is currently tearing itself apart.

How so?

I’m also a recent transplant. I too find the (current) lack of activity in certain niche areas disappointing, but I’m hoping that’s temporary. I hope discussions of some of those topics can survive the inevitable fragmentation among instances.

On the other hand, I’ve installed Jerboa on my phone, and it’s working very well. Now I’ve just got to get busy participating in those niche communities–could be tricky, 'coz the ones I often liked best were the ones I knew the least about. I enjoyed learning from people who already knew the ropes.

How would one mute the word Reddit? I took a look at the options in settings but didn’t find anything that appeared relevant to me. What did I miss?

There are still a few things here and there to remind you it’s an alpha, but it’s already surprisingly polished and functional. This Community looks like a really good resource too.

Hamburger in the upper left > click the username drop-down (might say anonymous if you’re not signed in) > click Add Account

Just did that to add Beehaw.

Now there’s three!
