> who's gonna switch to this?

Probably no one. But you also need to keep in mind that most HN readers probably have a very skewed perception of what Reddit is. E.g. basically my entire 11+ year experience with Reddit is reading and commenting on subreddits that aggregate articles about various topics. But the vast majority of subreddits either allow only self-posts, or else only allow links to one or two whitelisted domains like imgur or youtube. Sometimes this is the stated policy, but many times that's just the de facto state of the subreddit.

I only point this out because it's easy to think that Reddit is mostly about finding and discussing content, which it used to be, when today it's much more about community building.

Thank you. The article said "Reddit alternative" in the headline and kept talking about "social bookmarking" in the main text. If Reddit was a social bookmarking site still, is have left long ago.

edit: Registered. Is this a joke? 262px from the start of one submission to the next. Reddit: 98px. So I guess it actually is a social bookmarking site where people can post memes. But certainly no Reddit competitor. Maybe a pinterest competitor.

yep. Reddit is still doing well with no real competitor. I still enjoy it enough to continue to use it. I usually just stick to subs that fall under my specific interest. I stay out most of the caustic subs (i.e any political and news related) and filter out most of them on from the main page.
