Reddit is getting destroyed by tiktok for casual news/random videos etc.

I was a huge reddit user over the years, but now I only go there for a handful of very specific subreddits. That's really it's only use anymore. It's great for that, but they are probably seeing massive decline in usage.

And the moment they basically kill 3rd party reddit apps is the day I barely touch it again.

I can't really agree. The curation on reddit just far, far better outside of the super generic frontpage subreddits. Tik tok is 99% garbage content.

Even smaller subreddits can be pretty terrible with bad mods.

A lot of smaller hobby subreddits are basically treated as facebook groups, with people treating it as a group for people with an interest and not a focused discussion about that interest,

Sure, bad mods are a problem sometimes. But you also run into a lot of extremely knowledgeable users in your particular area of interest and can actually have great back and forth discussion.

Be it cars, bikes, coffee, firearms, you name it.

For hobbies I've found Tiktok is riddled with low quality content.

I suppose it really depends what you're looking for.

Oh, no arguments there. When it's good, it's great. It's just frustrating to be used to that level of quality and end up with a bunch of garbage content you have to wade through to get to the good stuff.

The other side of the argument is that, when Reddit is actually doing a good job for these niche communities, is it different to the old forum culture or a discord server?

>>witche+O71
Culturally, I'd argue no. In terms of UX and permanence, I'd argue yes. Reddit is a lot easier for someone to search after the fact and find good info, and it's a lot easier to follow individual comments on a big Reddit thread than it is to try to follow the chain-of-quotes on an old-style forum.

Discord is good but it's a chat app first and foremost and it's a pain to search for esoteric information, especially since you have to be in the server in question to even search.
