I’m not trying to cause an argument but when Reddit pulled it’s bs - I said that’s enough. I gave up my Reddit addiction and didn’t open it or visit the site for over 30 days.
The tone and people on Lemmy is great. I don’t miss Reddit. But I miss the content types. For me Reddit was a topic related news source, a place for great discourse about those news pieces, a place where community members asked constructive questions or shared ideas/projects - and lastly a place for some very specific community types.
Over the last few days I noticed that the first 2 categories of content came over to Lemmy no problem. But the second 2 types I outlined above don’t seem to have come. I went back to Reddit this morning and it’s all still there. Certain types of posts just don’t happen on Lemmy, and on top of that many communities never came over (street_photography is a great example. They literally shut down a subreddit with thousands of users and created a new location in Lemmy/kbin, and instead of coming over the community just evaporated). Other communities are also non existent and some that do exist are simply just not enjoying the same types of posts. I like it here, I want to stay - but it’s difficult. Is anyone else having this issue?
Thanks for hearing me out.
TLDR: all of my communities seem to link posts only, many types of posts just don’t seem to happen here.
I miss the r/Hinduism community quite a bit. It was a real help for me when I first started following that particular path. Lots of friendly, helpful people.
Thing is, when the whole api fracas happened, I deleted my account and vowed not to use that site again.

Man do I miss r/Hinduism! Also the advaita vedanta sub and a few others. Have you found any good lemmy communities for Dharmic philosophies?
No, but then again, I haven’t really been looking. I need to remedy that. I also want to seek out any communities that are centered around Western Hindus, such as myself. I feel pretty alone some days.
Know anything about running a community? I’d join! I’d offer to make it, but I pretty much exclusively use mobile, and I’m not sure how to mod via mobile.
In all honesty, I am very ADHD, and don’t have the executive function to run one. I’m trying to get better, but I don’t want to wind up disappointing anyone.
Honestly, same. :/
