voat is still a thing?!
Edit: Just checked, it’s still a right wing shit hole. i thought it closed down a couple years ago though
It did close. Surprised to see it reopen. I left reddit for voat early on before it got filled with crazies and eventually lost viable funding.
Are you sure it was Reddit, or the mods?
This list is still up: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1anols3/social_websites_with_nested_comments_v7/
Linking directly to reddit helps them show up at the top of search results. Use archive websites.
The person who created the “List of Active Reddit Alternatives” is a dev who helped work on saidit.net. They deleted the post themselves and quit being a mod of that redditalternatives sub; due to their disgust with reddit and many of the users on it.
That subreddit is not trustworthy now. I recall someone sharing evidence of content they’re censoring.
As much as I’m happy with the current userbase of Lemmy, thinking that a 33 upvotes post will have an impact on the ranking of Reddit seems unrealistic. Of course of people want to provide archive links I would add them next to the Reddit one, but the trade-off doesn’t seem worth it.

A few people still use it to promote Lemmy, none of the posts got removed.
Most recent example from 3 hours ago: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1fc8p7g/reddit_alternative_with_similar_user_interface/
What might have happened in the past is when people were posting about other subs removing pro Fediverse posting, but that’s the general anti brigading policy.
Are these any good, or do they have the same problems as Reddit?
To give you an idea, Discuit, one of the most discussed centralized alternatives last year, has now 255 active users:
I really like Lemmy
Me too
Was it even listed? The only instance on the active list i saw was hexbear and on the unactive list lemmy.ml, both instances that a lot of people dont like
Lemmy is listed as just Lemmy second in the “Less active than Reddit” section
LW is the 4th on the current pinned list: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1anols3/social_websites_with_nested_comments_v7/
Voat came about when FatPeopleHate got banned Ovarit is similar but for the anti-trans subreddit GenderCritical. Gab is also on there which is an even further right Mastodon fork than Truth Social.
Thanks, they sound repellant!
Ok so reading between the lines I’m meant to try digg.com again?
Cloudflared. Hmm.
