> But what's the alternative ? None.

And gob help you if you dare search for alternative to _____.

Before the Great Reddit Strike, adding "reddit" or "inurl:reddit.com" helped in that regard pretty well.

Given that the Reddit strike was an almost complete failure it still works well.

I wouldn't say it was a failure per se.

Old content is still there, but new content is of noticeably lower quality. Many subreddits have moved to minimal moderation or stopped it altogether. Engagement in places I used to frequent like /r/Games (which didn't even participate in the strike) is both down considerably and of lower quality.

Reddit, like Twitter, is too big to fail overnight, but they are essentially zombies at this point. Their growth potential has been neutered and their most valuable users (the 1% making 60% of the quality content) are actively toying with alternatives.

Several niche subreddits are still offline.

Oh yea. We have seen that one gamed like crazy :).

That page is certainly useful to find alternatives , I like I can filter by FOSS

[Dah00n]

Which of the ten Google result pages full of Alternative to___ pages are you talking about?

[tough]

https://alternativeto.net/ Sorry I thought it was obvious its been there for 10y at least

[realfeel78]

I find the site AlternativeTo.net usually helps me find good options.

I'm always kinda surprised that this site is still ok, they even clearly provide links to the tools actual pages.
