Try out the decentralised Reddit alternative called PieFed, https://piefed.social/  
It also has a mobile app: https://vger.app/settings/install  

I use it alongside Reddit, and I'm enjoying it more and more, slowly switching over

Some of the biggest complaints people switching over have are

Not sure which server to choose
No onboarding
Too much politics
Trouble logging in
Bad UX/UI (for a lot of people)

PieFed solves all of this, it has good onboarding, login is real easy you can even login with google, during onboarding you can filter out trump/musk spam, UX/UI is lightyears better for your average user, it has de-duplication etc.

Sadly URL's matter a lot to your average user, I've had a few people tell me to "Get lost with your virus link" when I promoted eg. https://lemmy.world/, that's another reason I like https://piefed.social/ and https://piefed.ca/

I mostly promote on r/BuyFromEU , r/BuyCanada, r/deGoogle etc. when appropriate

When people complain about BigTech I point them to the Fediverse, else it just feels like spam

lol that's sad, if that's how identifying viruses worked then ISPs, OSes, and web browsers would've banned those TLDs a long time ago
