I've looked for years but nothing's popped up. Everytime I saw a lead it had other issues either with population, or cultural problems which would make it even worse than reddit.
I don't even want a true reddit alternative per se either. Just a subspace where I could talk about games and anime and not feel like I'm walking on landmines just because some people see a one-off potentially offensive scene and think suddenly that games/anime are the source of all problems.
>All the default homepage subreddits are trash
FWIW, defaults aren't a thing anymore. It still is in spirit because the design of reddit means the old defaults still have the most subscribers. But new users aren't instantly being thrown into gifs/videos/earthporn/etc.
