As the title says. I thought that was brilliant on Reddit, just checking people's profiles would lead to some cool discoveries of communities I would have never thought of by myself.

Is this a feature somewhere?

Edit: of course users have the option to not show these, no I don't want to violate anyone's privacy

Fuck off. Nosy shit.

I didn’t know Reddit disclosed what you were subscribed to.

[-] BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com 22 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure it never did

[-] Carighan@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

It does if you turn it on. Might be enabled by default for new accounts of course.

I logged in Reddit in order to check, there's an option to show communities you are most active in (and that's enabled by default and not available on old.reddit.com) but that's not what OP asked for, as I guess it lists communities I comment and posts the most, right?

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

No, that's the feature I mean. You got it right. It never disclosed everything, just the most active ones.

I hated that tool on reddit. 99% of the time it was used to find a way to dismiss the comment.

exactly the kind of comment I would expect from a Factorio player 😤

Considering most people aren't going to comment or post on communities where they aren't subscribed, you could just look at their comment/post history.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 26 points 1 year ago

Aren't they? I do it all the time. I regularly browse by All and come across communities (including this one!) that I don't necessarily want to subscribe to, even if there's one post which interests me.

They can be subscribed and not post or comment.

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 17 points 1 year ago

Showing that would be a privacy violation, IMO.

[-] Blizzard@lemmy.zip -5 points 1 year ago

I don't know? Subscribed communities is not private information, it's linked to your account not to your actual name, you can use multiple accounts.

Even votes are not technically private on Lemmy
