I actually really miss, reading my subscribed subreddits. And it is definitely not about the platform. I think Lemmy is absolutely capable of doing exactly what reddid was doing for me. The problem is, that my communities are just not here. Web3 is about the people that make it.
I am all in for FOSS and federalization. Lemmy is perfect for that, but it feels empty to me. I will keep lurking and see, if some communities move away from reddit.
EDIT: I wasn’t aware that i shouldn’t have posted here. Take it as my debut post, which is also my first fuck up ;D
Yeah, it’s a bit crap when the communities you’re used to aren’t here yet.
My solution was just to create them myself - I’ve never modded before and tbh, I don’t even really want to especially, but as there was no MST3K community yet, I made one, and the same for Arrested Development.
I’ve publicised them on New Communities, crosslinked them and added a note in each about the mods from the equivalent subreddit, as, if they want to be involved again I’m happy to add them as mods.
Early days, but MST3K has over a hundred subs already, which is not bad when I created a couple of days ago.
