Re: "Anyone else pondering what it would be like to leave Reddit..."
@michaelnordmeyer
I think I stayed with slashdot for so long because of the occasional "golden post" from an expert in the field.
For example an article about some obscure physics phenomenon would often get a detailed post from an actual physicist.
Unfortunately slashdot doesn't seem to try particularly hard to keep junk articles off the front page, or to edit them ... I remember when summaries were summaries rather than most of the article directly copied and pasted. Happy times :)

What's Reddit? But seriously, haven't been there in years except for an occasional search that lands there for a specific answer. Hacker News on the other hand has been much harder to quit.

I mainly used Reddit as a feed for cool photos and videos. I haven't found a replacement yet but so far I'm doing fine going without.
I realized it was a nightmare trying to use it as a social platform a loooong time ago. I get my fill between gemini and Mastodon.

I found the Reddit WebUI quite unreadable, I tend to avoid it as much as I can... 🤔

Okay this may be dumb, but what exactly is Bubble? I tried to find the project / site but couldn't. I'm guessing this site is built on Bubble, but... what is Bubble? lol

Bubble is the software running this site. It's written in Python by Skyjake, the author of Lagrange.
Anyone else pondering what it would be like to leave Reddit behind for Bubble?
