This here is really my only concern. I followed a good number of subs that existed for actual discussion, not just meme dumps, and unless they’re migrated to Lemmy, I will be missing them.
Sure, I can access Reddit just for those topics, but so far I’m staying away from that site completely in my own self-protest.
( I know, I know, I’m a literal molecule in a drop in a bucket, but damnit, I’m doing my part! :) )
Be the change you want to see in the world. If those communities haven’t come over, start them. Seed them.
I think that’s going to be my plan, if I can talk to some of the current mods and ask them to do so here as well. I’ll create the new communities, but have no interest or time for actually moderating them.
