Sub.Rehab lists relocated Subreddits’ new homes in the Fediverse or other platforms

It worries me that all those communities moving to Discord will one day suffer though all this all over again, once Discord enshittifies and drives them out. Relying on a closed, proprietary and centralized service for user-generated content is a bad idea, as we all learned already.
Of all places to host your community in, why Discord? Discord is not indexed by search engines. If you wrote a long, thought-provoking piece there (I’ve seen many people do it), it practically lost forever after the discussion move a few screens forward in a few hours. People from the future can’t benefit from what you wrote when they’re searching for similar topic in a search engine. The same can be said with Telegram and WhatsApp groups which are popular in certain communities.
I agree; Discord is great for voice chatting, but I can’t follow conversations in there. Maybe I’m getting too old but it’s not a style that I think is a natural evolution from Reddit.

Some might consider that to be a plus. For certain types of communication, that ephemeral nature is preferred.
Me. I just like to troll without having my trolling sounds indexed by every search engine to ever exist. Why does google have to know the content of all my shitty jokes?
Also – unless I am missing something here, with Discord you are seeing posts in a strictly chronological order. Yes, you can like and react to posts, but that won’t bubble and auto-curate great content to the top. I was once in a very popular Discord and the amount of random posts filling up the feed made me leave it after some time.
Discord has a built in forum like interface, it’s quite decent - but as others have said, it’s not indexed by google and thus pretty useless for newcomers.
Oh it does? And with those forums you can vote content up to make them more visible? I thought it was just an endless stream in various channels.
Naw it doesn’t have upvote and downvote options, it works more like a traditional forum.
It will probably happen soon also. :/ The global economic situation that drove Reddit and Twitter to desperation applies to everyone else also.
Is raddle federated with lemmy and kbin? Haven’t seen any of those posts show up here - just now learning about it
I’ve read elsewhere that raddle is pretty anti-federation which is really stupid
It is not, it doesn’t use the ActivityPub protocol.
Good to see this list growing, hopefully it continues to grow
Oh boy, unfortunate choice of words for the slogan given the news lately
This is really handy! Thank you!
The title feels a bit off. I doubt very many of the subreddits have actually “relocated”. As the site itself states, these are just lists of alternatives that provide topics that match existing subreddits.
Most of the subreddits mentioned are still going to be active (especially in comparison to their alternatives) for the foreseeable future.
The ones that are confirmed have an orange checkmark on them.
Great idea, but there’s too many empty and unused communities cluttering the front page.
Give them time. It takes a while to foster a vibrant community.
LOL… the link they have for the 3D Printing community is just some guy posting “Balls” over and over again… Not so sure they got that one right.
Edit: Also… the expanse sub moving to discord is big sad… Wish they’d recreate that sub somewhere on the fediverse instead…
Creating an instance is not free and requires some effort (including a little research). Discord is free and creating a server is as easy as falling off a log. I don’t like Discord, but let’s be objective about why this happens.
@TooL
In case you haven’t heard: The Expanse sub mods are testing a kbin instance. It is expected to become available soon.Thanks for the heads up, that’s awesome news.
Dang. No NCD…I need my war shit posting fix
There’s one on sh.itjust.works (with around 1,000 subscribers,) but they aren’t currently federated with Beehaw, so if your account is a Beehaw account, you’ll have to make an account on sh.itjust.works or another instance that feterates with them if you’d like to post, comment, or vote. I don’t know if it’s the same mods as the original, though.
Here’s the link: https://sh.itjust.works/c/noncredibledefense
I saw one on a Lemmy Instance, but it may not be federated with Beehaw. Let me check my accounts on other instances and see if I can find it and I’ll link it to you if I can.
*Edit: Welp! I thought this comment hadn’t gone through since it wasn’t showing up here or on my account page even after refreshing, so I just made a fresh comment once I found the link. Whoops! See my other reply for the info and link.
Thanks for posting this. It will help me replace a few more of the subreddits I loved going to with Lemmy alternatives. I might still need to go to Reddit for a couple of subreddits (one local one and one hobby one), but my goal is to reduce my Reddit usage as much as possible.
For some reason, this site is basically unusable in Firefox Android for me, as I can only scroll at dreadfully slow speed and what feels like 1 fps. Everything is fine on desktop though.
Huh. It actually runs fine for me on android and firefox. I did the thing though where you can download a website as an app:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-web-apps-firefox-android
Let me know if that runs any better for you.
Works fine for me, Galaxy S23. Maybe try clearing the site cache+cookies. Tap the little lock icon in your URL bar to do that.
Weird, I don’t have this issue. I’m using a Zenfone 9.
I don’t know what 196 is and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.
Literally just ppl post whatever tf they want there lmao. The only rule is “post shit”. I always thought it was weird
I think the rule is more like “post anything, as long as you post something”. It doesn’t have to be shit, but it usually is.
