Discord isn’t a good alternative, it’s not the same type of social media site. Discord is more of a chatroom aggregator, while Reddit is more of a forum aggregator. While Reddit technically supports chats and Discord technically supports threads, in both cases they’re clunky and not the main point of the site.
Oh yeah, the search on Discord is abysmal. Especially considering that you can’t use Google to help, Reddit at least was public facing so Google searches would often find Reddit posts.
It’s also centralized corporate-controlled trash, just like Reddit. I, for one, don’t see the point in swapping one abusive overlord for another abusive overlord.
Discord is even worse, all the information there is locked behind a walled garten. No access without account, no way to google shit. I hate Discord, lol
Yeah! Main difference for me: I have to sort posts way more by new than ever on Reddit to find new stuff. Active an Hot sometimes have week old posts in them. But that is a Lemmy thing and not a Voyage* thing.

I guess that’s what I like about the name: it’s so different and strange. I started to use the Fediverse with different apps and wasn’t interested in progressive web apps but tried out wefwef just because it sounded different. As of now I browse Lemmy 95% with Voyager and like it a lot! Would have never tried it out had it another name!

If people thought that Reddit’s search was bad, they have quite the surprise waiting on discord!

And much less accessible, login required, phone number, a ton of system resources. And a privacy nightmare.
Honestly with Voyager, it’s hard to tell this ain’t Reddit lol.
Just for everyone that was unaware, as I was - Voyager the new name of once was Wefwef. 😂

*It’s still wefwef to me!
Sorting by Top 6 Hours or 12 Hours works the best for me I found.
I feel like perhaps wefwef was just a domain they had laying around and decided to use it. It was always a bloody strange name.
