I wish all the subs would move to Lemmy. There are a few off the top of my head that SHOULD be pushed to move sooner: /r/SocialEngineering, /r/HowToHack, /r/MartialArts, /r/Photoshop, and /r/meetup should all be here ASAP.
So should other subs, but those ones are particularly awesome and I wanna get them to come here ASAP.
Obviously, there are thousands of subs that need to move to Lemmy but those are some of my favs that I don’t think are here yet.
Also, when will MOST subs be on Lemmy?
I’m impatient. I want the new, up and coming, Reddit alternative with privacy to become popular NOW.
It is not a frictionless move, so that’s one problem
The content makers need to move, that’s one reason why Reddit wants to pay creators to keep them there
Reddit is on track to die , it make take a while, it may not happen; but they are acting like fools and that bodes well for new community growth
You could always just create the communities you would like to have here
At least in my case I haven’t made any because I have 0 interest in moderating them, and by default the creator of a sub is also going to be a moderator
Fair enough. I made 2 communities that didn’t exist when I migrated here, really don’t want to mod them. I’m sure you could just pass the torch to someone though, it’s what I plan on doing if people from the sub move over here.
Chill out, lemmy has had incredible growth the last couple of months, it’s ok if it goes back to much slower growth like before while everything finishes settling. Then, when reddit fucks up again, the site will be smoother, there will be polished apps, and we’ll be ready for another big wave
If there’s a community missing that you really want to see, why don’t you try to start it yourself? That’s what I did on kbin. I’m a big train nerd and missed /r/trains and /r/trainporn, so I started a train magazine to fill that niche. I really have no idea what I’m doing and haven’t run a community before, but it’s been going pretty good! We’re at 80 subscribers, and have started “picking up steam” so to speak.
You should give it a shot!
From what I’ve seen around some subs moved and continued its existence, while other didn’t become active and in some cases people just snatched names of subs on most active instances expecting probably that people just flock in. Some subs attended the protests and returned to the usual activity but it seems that majority didn’t bother. Small number moved to discord or were there already extending community activity.
Fediverse seems to be attractive to people who are both consuming and providing content and who are also engaged in technology to the particular degree. Majority obviously doesn’t give a single flying fuck about what happen to reddit by badluckhuffman hands and just waited till blackout will be over.
People don’t have to be actually tech people now, they just have to be comfortable with the fact that a lot of the people on here are tech people, and a lot of the conversations assume a high level of technical expertise. I’m in that “I don’t know what y’all are talking about, but I’m cool with it” crowd, and there are definitely communities where I would probably be okay even if I had a lower tech tolerance. I think we’re relatively close to being able to invite non-tech people, though it will mean a bit of a culture shift in communities that are not explicitly tech-focused.
I agree. I would like Lemmy to thrive and be vibrant but not too easily accessible to the masses, to avoid another “Eternal September”.
Some things are better left on Reddit.
I… think you might need to accept at least a late-August in order to bring in certain kinds of content. Some interest groups aren’t here because the userbase is not yet wide enough to include them, so in order to get a broad range of non-tech content, a slice of “the masses” are going to need to come in. You absolutely can protect your own spaces from people you don’t want there, though.
When will other people make content to entertain me and post it where I want to see it? Why won’t the internet bend and cater to my personal whims?
