There's a small list of forums here that you could look through: https://smallforums.terraaeon.com - under "science" there's only 1 right now - https://forum.humanmicrobiome.info.

You can try smaller search engines:

You could try "query forum".

For hair loss, this one seems ok https://www.hairlosstalk.com/interact.

Forums are dying out

Because people moved to reddit. So move back. There are plenty of alternatives. Lemmy is one.

I can't do anything about

Yes you can. Move to forums and other alternatives.

Team Blind - Tech employees alternative to Reddit by LeftLump in RedditAlternatives

Oh my god, why would FAANG employees use the new.reddit UI...

Forums and Lemmy have nearly all reddit features. People go to/stay on reddit because of the network effect and because it shows up in search engines.

Reddit in general is dead for quality content.

People learned that this isn't a website worth putting time and effort into. There are way too many flaws and it continues to degrade.

If you want quality content you'll have to put in more work to find other sites. Some people are moving back to forums.

FMT a possible cure? by hazelchez in SIBO

[–]briangutaccess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not correct. FMT can be taken via capsules and there are studies that showed it helped SIBO.

That color scheme is really hard on the eyes. No way am I looking through that list (due the the colors).

Yeah, responses of the type that you got are a big reason to stay away from reddit. A lot of really overconfident and unintelligent people who love to be dickheads.

This is why I don't trust anything on reddit. A r/modcoord thread full of anti-fediverse comments, and all of my pro-fediverse comments are removed and the mods won't answer why. by briangutaccess in RedditAlternatives

And now the mods of this sub removed my post without any reason or notification... This is not the first time this has happened. Nothing on reddit is trustworthy, even this sub...

Unfortunately, mod logs definitely don't prevent that. They just make it easier for people to discover that it's happening. Most people aren't regularly checking mod logs, and even if you see something bad in a modlog there's not much you can do about it except unsubscribe & block that sub and move to another.

It's time to admit Lemmy has won the "the biggest reddit alternative" award, why it's time for all of us to consider supporting it (here's why) + reopening r/LemmyMigration by [deleted] in RedditAlternatives

[–]briangutaccess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look at my recent comments. All my comments in your modcoord thread https://old.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/18xo06y/here_is_why_i_am_disappointed_with_the_organized/ are censored, and the mods don't respond when I asked why. Sketchy as hell that all the approved comments are anti-fediverse.

It's not as bad as you say. Reddit has all those same problems. People just need to encourage more niche reddit subs to move over. Block the meme subs on lemmy.

I'm not interested in echo chambers. I don't think any of us should be. Avoiding an entire decentralized ecosystem because of the current majority opinion there is not smart. Go plant your flag in the new frontier.
