I think a lot of us are still getting accustomed to Lemmy and finding our flow. For me, personally, the move exposed a bunch of new communities and topics I didn't know / or forgot I was interested in and am now excited to be a part of!
Amen to that! And more engaging conversations so far as well.
Likewise, I'm finding my feed is once again filling with things I am actually interested in. Reddit had drifted slowly towards mindless content but here on Lemmy I feel back in control.
It's basically old reddit. It feels like I just left Digg and I def enjoy it much more. I'd have left back when they changed to new reddit if Lemmy was around.
How do you find communities here that are analogs of the ones you enjoyed on Reddit? I see big communities here like 196 that is basically the same as the Reddit community, and lemmyshitpost is a new type of meme community - but letβs say Iβm interested in math and history. How do I find communities with in depth discussion of those topics?
Thank you! Just starting here myself too.
Lemmy doesn't support videos. That's what I liked about reddit.
