There's a bunch of different looks to try, personally a.lemmy.world has been my favorite so far.

Such a small amount of users on Reddit submit links or comment. The thing that they "won" was splitting a portion of their community of power users who maintain and create the content on their site from the masses who simply consume and doom scroll the main page. I am happy with the type of discussion that is happening on Lemmy, I don't need a post to have 7000 upvotes or a comment to have 1500 votes and a shit load of coins attached to it to make it valuable or interesting.
Some I've been listening to lately:
- Hard Fork - podcast about technology and science from the NYTimes that does a pretty good job of being varied and interesting.
- Search Engine - newer podcast by PJ Vogt from Reply All about understanding weird or poorly understood topics.
- Darknet Diaries - IT security stories, hacking, and red vs blue team defense of infrastructure.
- Behind the Bastards - Stories about terrible people and their effect on society. Start with the Dulles Brothers or Kissinger.
- Mother Country Radicals - Limited series about key members of the Weather Underground during the civil rights era.
