How has it been for you? Do you get FOMO feeling sometimes?

I use Reddit less and less but haven’t fully quit yet. Always have this odd feeling of FOMO regards content.

Not only that, some subreddits haven’t migrated to any other platform unfortunately. Or they have but the content is very little compared to Reddits content.

Note - wasn’t sure where to post this. So if this wasn’t the right place, apologies!

The issue I have with Reddit - it’s full of hateful people and most content is just bots karma farming.

EDIT: Thanks for all the responses!

EDIT 2: Thanks for the ones that mentioned RSS-Feed. Just got it and it’s amazing. Still manage to only follow the subreddits that I like without crapads.

    I check Reddit maybe twice a week, but only a couple of specific niche subs( like many others have said). For me it’s /r/fragrance that I’ve had a hard time finding a good replacement for… Perhaps I should just frequent Basenotes.com more?

      Not to question your hobby at all, but what does being a perfume connoisseur look, feel or work like? I know a bit about itr (the essential oil fragrances commonly used in Arabian/Persian world).

        what does being a perfume connoisseur look, feel or work like?

        I’m not sure if I’m a connoisseur, I just like testing perfumes I haven’t tried before. I get samples of perfumes at perfume stores and wear them for a few days. If I find it really irresistible I buy a full bottle. If not, I just enjoy trying something different and developing my sense of smell. I could easily go broke buying all the nice perfumes, so sampling is a cheap way to find out what I like and only buy the ones that really hit the mark. How does it look and feel? I look like an old dude with a big beard but at least I smell good.
