no im not but i was talking more about the content…redditors are migrating to lemmy and kbin… doesn’t that mean we can expect to see these contents here…maybe its too early to expect that because people still migrating…
ex-redditor here, with ~9 years worth of content. It took me more than a week to even save & delete that stuff, and it takes time to reformat posts properly (like switching reddit-links to non-reddit links so the old site doesn’t gain any traffic from here, changing “fancypants”-formatted stuff to markdown, changing video guides into text-based guides with pictures and written explanations etc.). I will eventually upload everything I can here, but at least for me, it isn’t as simple as copy+pasting a couple dozen memes a day. Not to mention that it also took me a couple of days to figure out how this site even works.
Just for comparison: My youtube channel has over 200 videos that can/have still to be turned into text/picture-based stuff if I want to upload them here. Just as many written guides already exist but have to be reformatted. And the word document in which I saved JUST comments that I want to turn into useful mini-guides is around 70 pages long.
… and I currently manage to make 2-3 lemmy posts a day on average. At this rate, it will easily take half a year until ALL of my stuff is on this site. And now keep in mind that others might have just as much or even more stuff to reformat and reupload, and are JUST now migrating as the apps have stopped working.
tl;dr - it takes a lot of time. It’s too early to expect tons of reddit content here already.
Yeah it’s going to be a slow road. Maybe if it’s too empty for you just now, you can keep going back to Reddit, but when you see a good meme or something, nick it and post it on Lemmy somewhere 😂
I’m not sure what you mean. Were you expecting an exact clone of Reddit?

You are a gentleman and a scholar and I salute your efforts!
Thank you for being so generous with your time!
