TL;DR: Reddit is removing the option to opt out of ad personalization, targeting ads based on user activity. Some specific ad categories can still be limited, but there's no more opt-out option.

I left r/popular and r/all but lemmy still not yet an adequate replacement for non-tech niche hobbies and interests.

Can you give me an example of subreddits that you still follow? I'm setting up a fediversed instance on alien.top, which would mean that you'd be able to follow/interact with people still on reddit from the fediverse.

r/India, r/India investments, r/Kerala, r/malayalammovies, r/insidemollywood, r/watches, r/Porsche.

Nice, thank you. I'm still fixing some issues with the deployment, but hopefully it will be working soon. Do you mind if I send you a DM when it is ready?

FYI: You can subscribe now to !watches@style.land which is mirroring /r/watches and !porsche@gearhead.town is mirroring /r/porsche.

Do you know if the admins at https://kerala.party would be interested in having the mirrored India-related subs?

@gonta

Is that mostly due to a lack of critical mass of users, or are there other factors?

The former. I would love to start these online communities but I don't have the time nor emergy to maintain them; I'm barely browsing reddit and lemmy as it is.

For now, I can only compromise and use reddit.
