>If you can stand the user hostile ux old.reddit.com is still available, which is only slightly user hostile. There's a setting to default to it if you're logged in, otherwise it's pretty trivial to either install an extension or write a userscript to automatically redirect you to that subdomain.

There's also Teddit[1], which I use most of the time I want to look at Reddit now. It's been discussed on HN before[2]. [1] https://teddit.net/ [2] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25310206

That is one of the slowest websites I’ve ever tried to use! Too bad to, because it’s a great idea.

They still have the hard-coded "slur" filter?

No, it's completely configurable https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1773

That's good. I remember reading years ago how they weren't going to remove it. Glad they left it up the server admins to make the call for their communities.

I can invite you, let me know if you want me to?

Thanks, managed to get one.

By the way, your Amiga collection is amazing. My dad and I play with his collection once in a while. So many great games!

seems entirely focused on devs as if people didn't work in other tech fields

Can’t we have a community just for devs?

sure you can, but don't claim it's alternative to HN

Depending on how you use HN, it can be. Some people are here for the technical topics.

yes and for those people lobsters ain't HN alternative, because it's narrowly focused on developing/coding, not general technical topics
