I am looking for any modern reddit alternative other than lemmy, due to all the problems with the lemmy codebase and the lack of good moderation tools like reddit.

Is there is anything other than kbin, mbin and piefed?

    Does anyone have any good alternatives to my hometown, due to all the problems my hometown has? I dont want to get involved and help with my hometown, just stand in the town square and ask where a better town is. Oh, and don’t suggest the neighboring towns either.

    If you don’t like Lemmy, or Mbin, or Piefed, your best option might be to wait for Sublinks.

    Though it might be more useful to discuss why you find the existing platforms unsuitable, and if there might be ways to mitigate this.

      Also lotide, if you’re into a minimalist text-only interface.

      For a FOSS but not federated option there’s Discuit.

    I’m no dev, so I can’t speak to the codebase or mod tools, but I honestly don’t think it’s going to get much better than this right now. Lemmy has its issues for sure, but the community has been surprisingly stable, with little growth spurts here and there, and more healthy engagement than I expected. I get frustrated every so often, and there are accounts that make me want to scream, but that’s normal in any place where strangers interact.

    I’m curious what other folks have to say, because if there’s a better alternative that I haven’t heard of, then I’m all in, but it’s been pretty hard to keep Lemmy as active as it is. It sounds like you might be a dev? If so, would you be willing to build the tools you want to see for the services you mentioned? It’d be awesome if folks with skills worked to improve existing open source stuff like Lemmy rather than building whole new ones that don’t have any active communities.

      They explicitly stated:

      Were you under the impresssion that they managed to post on Lemmy without realizing it is a Reddit alternative? :)

        I imagine they are asking for something that does not really exist

    I will admit the biggest issue with Lemmy is the lack of discussion. I blame that on the multiple threads of the same post on different instances/communities.
