Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let's do this! 🤝

Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.

I'm keeping my reddit account alive for just a handful of subreddits because there aren't really equivalent communities here or elsewhere.

This is what I think needs to happen for the tipping point to occur.

It looks like people have done a good job building out the "Top 100" (minus all the duplicates across the various instances) but now it's time to build the next 1,000 subs that give people a place for the more nuanced said that once made Reddit great.

Same here.

There is a very good Ex-Mormon community on reddit that is so stuck in their own bubble of problems, I can't see themselves moving. And I enjoy checking in to see what shenanigans the LDS/Mormon church are up to.

But that's it.

I feel like the past 3 weeks I've moved to a new city. And I'm discovering new communities here.

I'm trying to start convos/posts in the type of subs I used to like, in the hopes it'll snowball. Also, upvoting people who have made similar efforts, to encourage them.

It's been a while since I haven't lurked, but back in the day (long before reddit) small forums absolutely had a handful of active people creating the reaction mass that draws other people in, and we'll have to replicate that here.

Same. There's a lot of subreddits that aren't here yet that I need and that there aren't many active forums for.

For example, I play a not uncommon instrument and I use the instrument's subreddit occasionally. It's a really good source for auditions, techniques, and resources. Unfortunately, there isn't a community here and most of the forums on that instrument are dead/closed. I could go on Facebook and join groups on there, but is that really better than Reddit

yeah there are a few things, I still have reddit for, such as gun based subs and some comic book circle jerk pages. Mainly the gun stuff.

Other than that I pretty much only use this site. I probably need to take advantage of the reddit thing to leave behind these kind of forums in general and break my addiction

Same here. r/worldbuilding, r/writing, and r/writing prompts hasn't had a sizable presence on lemmy yet...
