5 Best Reddit Alternatives

Reddit is one in the most popular social websites when you are discovering what is new on the web, when you need an answer to a question, when you want to be a part of a discussion or if you just want to read an original scary story. But it is not the only site that provides this sort of entertainment, so why don’t we look at 5 best Reddit alternatives that can help you expand the reach of your online presence.

Voat

Voat is where you can feel right at home if you are a regular Reddit user; it is basically a Reddit clone with an extremely similar interface and the differences between the two sites are very small. There are not as many users on Voat as they are on Reddit but finding an interesting topic should not be a problem. And by taking part in the partner program on Voat, you can even get paid by posting high-quality content.

Imgur

Imgur is a website focused on sharing images and its user base is quite strong. There is a big chance that you will come across a picture that you had already seen on Reddit and that is because a lot of users pull them straight from there and it is a place where you are most likely to the latest memes, and original content. And much like Reddit, Imgur also shows content based entirely on popularity (the number of upvotes on the content).

Gab

This social network supports freedom of speech, free online information flow, and individual freedom. The creators of Gab believe that the users of social media platforms should be able to control the social media experience on their own instead of following all the rules, and restrictions by big tech companies. If you enjoy discussions that are usually removed from Facebook and suchlike, Gab is the social network you are looking for; it also released a browser (Dissenter) which allows the users to comment on any comment on the internet, and the comments cannot be managed by site owners because they are only visible by Gab users.

9Gag

9Gag may not really be a Reddit competitor but it certainly is a place where a lot of people go to get a few good laughs, although there are other sections of the website as well.  People here post different pictures, funny memes, and interact with each other in the comment section, where you can find funny jokes and discussions about more serious topics.

Mastodon

This self-hosted social platform makes it possible for anybody to create an alternative for Reddit. Individual Mastodon social platforms are connected, and the users can smoothly interact with one another. All these social networks give their admins and users plenty of freedom to choose how they want to operate; each network has its own code of conduct, moderation policies, and terms of service.

Conclusion

If you are looking for something new, these websites are some of the most Reddit-like sites, and you just might find them either handy, entertaining or both.
