I found out about it because of a hacker news comment discussing the Reddit drama. I’m pretty upset that I didn’t discover it on Reddit. I assume any mention of Lemmy was marked as spam or was I just not browsing the right communities?

Honestly, when I first came here, I entirely expected that Reddit would eventually cave and I’d return to it. I expected the Fediverse to fail. But instead Reddit has doubled down and the Fediverse has rapidly gotten considerably better. I’m intending to stay here.
Though admittedly I do worry about some smaller subs. Eg, my local city sub was fairly active on Reddit and was a great place to get local recommendations, learn about stuff going on, etc. I ended up making the community myself (@[email protected]), but there’s yet to be any other subscribers (though this does remind me to go post about it in subs for the province).
My local sub has been one of the harder ones to lose… I might make one here eventually. I’m just not convinced there’s enough local users here yet.
I’ve recreated [email protected] here. I was a big community member there under a different username on r/vans. I’m determined to get this community to grow on Lemmy. r/vans is in the top 5% population size-wize on reddit. There’s bound to be dozens of us here!
