Do you have one and do you think Facebook groups are a viable Reddit alternative? I hear they’re pretty popular.

Nope, never have. It surprises me how many people my age use it though. Groups might technically be viable but Facebook wasn't designed to be used like reddit, so you could use it but I doubt there would be many interesting communities to browse.

And the sorting algoritmus is terrible. I'm in one local facebook group and the top post is somebody looking for a help for that evening... month ago. That post didn't get more reactions/likes than others, just Facebook somehow decided I should see that and not an important large discussion about important topic.
