I find this amazing. I hope Lemmy takes over as the one Reddit alternative. As I’ve been experimenting with it today I think it’s on an amazing growth path and hopefully more streamlined communities will be setup too!

Honestly, I hope Lemmy becomes a viable reddit alternative as well. I’m not sure if I will be going back to Reddit after the blackout, except perhaps to look at reference links or reviews on subs like r/askhistorians, r/askamechanic or r/patientgamers.
One of the things I’ve noticed since browsing Lemmy is how much more organic the content and discussion is here, and how astroturfed the communities on Reddit have become. I haven’t noticed any brand names, ragebait, or anything like that, and it’s so refreshing.
Yah this is the forum based chatting I’m all about. I’m glad reddit did this a little bit, because I finally got pushed to check it out. I vastly prefer this, even if it’s never hugely popular
I feel the same way. Ive also always prefered a small quiet bar to a loud and busy one. I like to be able to actually hear the people I’m talking to. Reddit is just a noisy bar.
One thing that I’m unfortunately gonna have to keep going to reddit for the time being is all the niche, technical or creative fields I’m in (it’s a lot…) where I just don’t see that kind of content being available on Lemmy just yet, more growth needed for that.
However I think I’m going to curate my sub-list and remove all the general / news / memes / etc and replace all of that with Lemmy.
I think we can just start creating some fundamental communities and see where they go. In reddit there are too many variations of the same theme and they are mostly successful (for many reasons - main being the number of users). Here we only need one per niche subject.
Also ofc I would be happy to donate a monthly amount to help keep the server running. My Apollo subscription money has to go somewhere now
