Flushed out niche communities. There was a real push to create communities a few months ago but it seems like a lot of them haven't been getting attention since the blackouts ended and a sizeable amount of people returned to Reddit.

It's understandable considering there's comparably less people. It would be harder to branch off from a gaming community to specifically a Splinter Cell community for example. That said a lot of the communities that were quickly created and seemingly abandoned aren't super flushed out with things like a logo or general information in a sidebar which might cause people to not post there to begin with.

I feel like these communities have a real decent chance especially if they are created in larger instances due to how many people sort by all/new on Lemmy compared to Reddit.


Maybe how easy it was to find posts on Reddit using a search engine? Like Googling "How to care for cast iron pans Reddit"

I don't think I'll miss the avatars, awards, the Redditisms, how much weight people put into upvotes, the sorting algorithms, and so on.

More comments and engagement. See too many posts with zero comments. It’s the discussion and tangents about content that kept me scrolling over there.

Everybody else from Reddit.

What I'd like is far far fewer basic links to Reddit.

It's getting old to me.
