When I used Lemmy before the reddit exodus, it was getting like 12 updoots on the front page. I've noticed a hugeee difference, this post getting over 1.2k+ upvotes for example. Content is a lot more exciting. Haven't touched Reddit in like 3 weeks now.
I've been full RSS reader, Mastodon, and Lemmy. It feels good.
I guess by full, I mean like full-on. Like most of the content I relied on Reddit for, I could get from RSS feeds. I play Genshin Impact a lot, so I don't need to visit that sub anymore now that I have an RSS. Also there's replacement communities on Lemmy now.
Other then that, software or blogs you like, they usually have an RSS feed and then can group them under like a "Tech Blogs" category for example. It's something you build up over time, and RSS has been around for a long time so most things support it and there's a million clients out there.
Fun fact, every Lemmy community has an RSS feed to subscribe to as well, even Mastodon profiles! RSS feeds directly grab from the source, so there's no centralized anything, so it's probably the most sustainable method of getting method possible.
