Hey, to anyone who uses both platforms, have y’all seen a huge uptick in Indian subreddits being recommended to y’all, irrespective of your nationality? It’s something I had heard a lot happening on reddit, but I wanted to confirm

    Absolutely. It would make sense but reddit is supposed to have different popular feeds for different countries… so either they’re shit at programming that or they’re doing the “purposeful enshittification of the UX” tactic

      one in six people are indian. it’s probably more likely that indian subs and topics are gathering steam.

      But are you an Indian and seeing Indian subreddits or are you non Indian and seeing Indian subreddits

        I’m a non-Indian! In the UK.

        Also, I agree with what you said (in another comment) that some of the subs have questionable, rage-baiting, attitudes - I believe other people commented on this in other subs (maybe r/redscarepod or r/fauxmoi)
