I got a lot of my headlines from reddit. Due to the impending death of my favorite app (Sync for Reddit) however, that’s coming to an end.

I’m now realising my Reddit experience had deteriorated slowly, just doomscrolling the hours away wasn’t healthy and I’m even kind of glad this is a good reason to end it. However, reddit has been really useful for news, especially the comments (taken with the right amount of skepticism) could be very informative.

I hope Lemmy builds something similar, but the defederation of beehaw’s news has been a setback.

What would be a good alternative, going forward, for getting news and backgrounds from varied, trustworthy en unbiased sources?

    for regular news article style news I use feedly and just have selected all the usual news organizations. for less formal “news” I was using reddit, but now I’m starting to use kbin I guess haha. I still use twitter as well.

      I expect it’ll take a while for kbin / the fediverse to acquire, and me to find, segments focused on some of the niche areas I had on that other site, but ehh. I knew there would be costs in leaving.

        yup. I used reddit a lot for more niche stuff, and so far kbin and the fediverse hasn’t quite captured the same things just yet
