I’ve tried it and honestly it’s just way too empty for me, and they like it that way. It feels like they’re isolationists and very slow moving. Not a bad place overall and great if you want a low energy environment that’s more fixated on community engagement than memes, but the engagement is days apart and and there’s not a ton of active users. The site layout is almost exactly the same as old Reddit and it feels familiar in that respect, but it’s not a good time waster if you check your phone a lot.
I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama.

There’s a few things that I follow that do have communities here, but little to no engagement in those communities. I’ll occasionally get on to look at those subreddits for updates, but I don’t have an account anymore so I don’t log in and I don’t engage with the communities. I also use RES so they don’t get any of my advertising revenue. Someone had linked a read only Reddit client before but I can’t remember what it was, If anyone does remember let me know so I can switch to that.
Unsubscribe from the community. I did it this morning myself. It’s out of control and I had to scroll 2-3 pages before I found literally any content that wasn’t just a shitpost circlejerk meme.
Support content seems to be most of what’s posted here now. It’s mind boggling really. A huge number of us are Reddit refugees and AskReddit was always about community engagement and not about support. I really don’t know what makes people think this is any different.
It’s usually in the sidebar just like it was on Reddit. Also make sure that you’re only viewing your subscribed communities instead of “All” which is the default setting I believe.

Be honest, do you still use reddit?

Okay, how do I block all this meme stuff?
Just as the title says. Dunno why memes are of interest now (out of the loop) but it’s driving me nuts
