Reddit’s Extended Family

October 1, 2015

I have a problem.  I have a Reddit addiction.  My addiction is so bad that I once meant to spend five minutes on the news site, when I ended up spending five hours.  To control my compulsions, I only allow myself to read the first hundred posts and if I have finished my work, the first two hundred.   I am currently in the process to kick the Reddit habit, so I will be a more productive person.  But then I came across this article on Chi-Nese: “20 Great Reddit Alternatives You Should Know.”

Just as I thought I did not have enough Web sites on my RSS feed, now I have these lovely alternatives. Here is the scoop:

“Reddit is the most popular social bookmarking site celebrating 10-year anniversary of existence nowadays. Reddit has accumulated over 16 billion up-votes, over 1 billion comments and over 190 million posts, which are – compared to other Reddit alternatives – enormous numbers.  Despite the fact that Reddit is a website with a massive number of users and posts, below is a list of international Reddit alternatives that have great potential, and are definitely worth a try!”

Most of these Reddit alternatives are in a foreign language (not English), but some of ones to make the list are Hubski, PushedUp, Qetzl, Voat.co, and 3tags.

I am surprised that Fark did not make the list.  Fark is the “original” Reddit, but it focuses on aggregating outlandish news content.  There goes my productivity!
