I am at an over my dead body moment with reddit. I don't care what their numbers say I'm not going back.

I was on that moment for years, just there was no real substitute. Hopefully, lemmy will remain big enough.

I think it will. It's grown a lot and quickly too. I've been constantly keeping an eye on the "new community" communities and have not been disappointed to see all my favorites showing up.

I'm concerned people will get put off by the federation differences. I feel like it will scare people.

[–] ug02x@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

It may. It did for me a little bit. Although I would sat since then every article or post I've looked at on this subject has carried some explanation of the form, "There are lots of sites, but they all work together so just join one and explore.", which was my only initial fear.

Which ones are showing up that you've been excited about?

I was happy to find a Futurama community on the first day as the new season approaches. Thinking more recently Dad Jokes was a new find that has brought me some joy. I'm always looking for new communities that are art related.
