I don't use Facebook, Instagram, reddit, tiktok, etc. so I'm not familiar with them.
Do they all, have one click registration?
Or do they require a user name, email address, and password, with optional email address confirmation?
In the past when I wanted to look for an answer for something, I would search "question forum". Now what I do is "question reddit". There are still some niche forums that I still visit but it's becoming less and less.
Reddit is just easier to find answers since every subreddit looks the same, it's easy to navigate, and there are subreddits(niche forums) for every topic you can imagine.

I totally don't get reddit. Maybe it works for some, but I can't get it. How to find something there is totally unclear to me.It's only my impression but i find the interface of reddit a little bit confusing and I'm not comfortable with it.

You can setup XF also to work like this. Without email, AFAIK. Would need to check this, but I think it can be setup like that.Reddit doesn't actually require an email address at all
Huge fan of Reddit here and IMO there's a few things Xenforo (or any message board for that matter) could take away from them. Their automatic moderation does a great job of keeping threads clean, I have searched high and low here but cannot find a mod that does it.Reddit becomes great once you've subscribed to enough subreddits to ensure your feed is packed with stuff that you want to see.
I'm subbed to 340 subreddits now
I'm at the point where I really need to start making sub-multi reddit feeds for specific topics. But I really can't be arsed to go through 340 subreddits and split them out to different filters.
I can't stand the new reddit UI, so I still use old.reddit.com, which doesn't look pretty. But is way more usable and faster than the current UI.
There's a ton of 3rd party native mobile apps for reddit too, which are way better than the default app. I recommend Apollo if you want to try one.
But new forum creations hardly have a chance to grow like their big brothers of the 90s / 2000si dont think forums are dead, i def think social media platforms came and slowed forum use down tho
I am more familiar with xenforo 2 now after a few days and I want to express that I am very happy with it and am surprised about new features that might improve SEO a lot.2014 - 2021 (7 years): xenforo 1 to xenforo 2
