While we try out reddit alternatives, why not try the open source reddit clone, lemmy. I honestly don’t know a whole lot about the whole fediverse, only heard about mastadon vs twitter recently but I never used twitter and don’t see a reason to start with mastadon. But the churning community is small enough and separate enough from main reddit, why not give it a try.
I was an Apollo user and was subscribed to r/churning. Trying to subscribe to all my old communities and found you! Using WefWef and it feels very similar to Apollo. Happy to start anew and see how it goes!
