Reddit but looking for an alternative, I can't seem to amalgamate the information I want to read even though I've painstakingly organised everything into multireddits in the past.

IG, PH, FB, Twitter, Indiehackers, Growthhackers, Pocket, Slack Groups, and Feedly.

ATM I'm trying to consolidate everything on Feedly and Pocket (as a read-later) but it isn't easy.

Mostly Medium, and increasingly Linkedin. Both mostly for writing & reading blog posts.

A little bit of Twitter & Pinterest, the former for typically just for sharing my content (but I have very few followers), the latter for ideas/collections (and for work, of course).

From time to time "I" like things on Facebook, typically when my wife gets my phone and likes her posts :)

Frequently (daily, or a couple times per day) - reddit/imgur (news, jokes, tech stuff, etc) - instagram (for the pics... though slowly losing interest due to the ads) - twitter (news, fake-news, and tech stuff) - HN (news) - telegram (various programming channels)

Regularly (once or twice a week) - linkedin - ello

Infrequently (once every week or two or three or...) - facebook (I hate it, but all my friends/family are there) - google+ (photography groups) - vimeo

Practically never (once a year... maybe) - pinterest - flickr (really just to remind myself it's still there) - tumblr

Facebook: Eh, I don't check it but I use Messenger at least a few times a day. Events is neat but I never go to any. It was useful for flat hunting because there's a closed group on there with about 70K people in my city. Things like that are pretty priceless.

Twitter: I like Twitter but it took me a few years to get it. I follow a mix of shitposting anime avatars and more serious accounts which I should prune this weekend come to think of it. I've slowly transitioned over time from one of those shitposting accounts to just using my actual name and photo. It's good fun but only if you don't take it seriously.

Reddit: It's great for searching for specific communities ie: /r/thatpeelingfeeling or /r/depthdub but I don't use it too often unless I'm interesting in something in particular

Instagram: I post rarely. I'll sometimes post a photo of a meal if I'm with friends and jokingly say "Look at me, being a big millenial piece of shit" jokingly, haha.

RSS: I use Newsblur daily and it's super nice.

Blog: I sometimes write things but my site is more of an excuse to write code.

Snapchat: It's popular but I could care less. It feels like a chore honestly.
