You can check out the lemmit instance. A lot of instances have defederated from it (with good reason imo, because a bunch of lemmit communities are just links to reddit).
But some of the communities (that the lemmit bot creates from scraped subreddits) are just links to other sources. It doesn’t scrape comments but just the content. So I subscribe to the “TIL” and “World News” communities from Lemmit, because it’s just links for me to read.
Personally, I’m trying to move away from those as well, because I prefer to rely on the fediverse for the content I want. But it’s been a good option for me to still get certain material, while never actually using reddit myself. Some of the communities only link to old.reddit, so I ignored those. But mainly for news is what I’ve used it for, and it’s been good for weaning my last remaining ties to that sunken ship.
My next step will be reposting that same content to Lemmy communities myself. But I gotta handle up on some current (personal) life issues, before I can start contributing more to the content around here
I don’t participate in any threads I just read nosleep lol
Actually I don’t read any threads other than bestofredditorupdates because I don’t trust the fodder of people that stuck around either!
