There's a Fediverse alternative to #Reddit called #Kbin. More info at https://kbin.pub
Still VERY new, not many servers yet, two so far in English:
https://fedia.io
https://kbin.social
No app yet, use it through these sites. Subreddits are called "Magazines". You can interact with magazines from other servers.
Coders help Kbin at https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core, non-coders donate at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin
(Sorry to people bored of this, had many requests to put info in one place)
p.s. Kbin is part of the Fediverse. You can follow Kbin accounts and magazines from Mastodon etc, and follow Mastodon etc accounts from Kbin.
However, the cross-platform federation doesn't seem to be working properly yet (bear in mind the project is only a few months old!).
There's also a complication about the Kbin.social server being overwhelmed over the last few days. Kbin.social has had to use Cloudflare to cope with the overwhelming load, which is known to mess up federation.

If you want truly random posts, try browsing the Local and Federated timelines on your server.
They are feeds of all the public posts made by people on your server (Local) or people from other servers that your server has noticed (Federated), in chronological order.

Also, try Explore which shows trending posts and trending tags. (On the official app, click the magnifying glass but leave the search box blank.)

Having said that, if you're on a massive server like mastodon.social those feeds will be really, really random firehoses.
If you join a smaller server you'll see more of a theme, especially on the Local feed.
FediTips has moved!
