Is there is any worthy alternative to Reddit? (programming.dev)

The more time passes, the more I started to see the flaws in Lemmy design and development which will prevent it from being something meaningful.

Which lead me to ask, is there is any worthy alternative to Reddit?

I tried HackerNews , but it does not seem very fit.
Tildes seem to have way more problems than Reddit, development and moderation.
Saidit seems to be almost dead and have zero active Android clients.
Discuit used to have a potential, but they are stuck in toxic positivity phase and the admins does not seem to understand how to moderate and it seems that they will have the same fate as Ruqqis.

Anything else?

You're doing it the wrong way. What you should do is to identify the specific things you think are holding Lemmy back and discuss it in the open. That can lead to:

Other people realize it too and start thinking how to fix it
You realize your assumptions were wrong

If you just post here ' Lemmy is shit and will never be good' then that's not very productive even if we wanted to help you find a now home outside of Lemmy, we have no idea what you're looking for so we can not even give you good advise.

Ok couple of things here;

I don't see Lemmy design flaws fixable over the long term, the developers could invest into improving a lot of aspects of Lemmy, but basically you can't change the design after you already had semi- finished the software.
I don't do Drama, sorry to disappoint you on this front, but from my experience discussing the problems with the developers usually don't held any results, especially on major changes(I am talking here from my experience with other services).
I am not looking to change anyone mind, neither get convinced by Lemmy.
I am asking for any general recommendations, without any specific preference.

I hope this clears things to you from my side.

Not knowing what you don't like about Lemmy, makes it hard to recommend things that improve upon those unspecified complaints.

Judging by the modlog, they don’t like that community rules are enforced.

Then google "reddit alternatives." If you're not looking for a discussion with a personalized response you can easily answer your own question via your search engine of choice.

The good old stack overflow answer.
