        The problem typically isn’t that the community doesn’t exist – the problem is that it does exist but is empty or mostly empty.

          Be the change you want to see. I noticed that every time I post even a small thing on those empty communities, people come and contribute.

          It’s mostly an empty dancefloor issue, nobody wants to be the first

            While that is true, it also is true that the community often is just not there, and it’s unclear if it will ever come.

        A community by its very nature is a group effort. It takes more than one person to keep a community alive and thriving

    I miss that thing where any time there was a difficult question, someone with real expertise would jump into the comments. And sometimes it was someone who literally wrote the book on the subject. Sometimes it was the person who invented the thing being talked about. It was crazy. It happened all the time. It seemed like everyone was on Reddit and you could really trust you were getting solid answers.

    Niche communities full of useful info. The subreddit for a game I’m playing rn was the one of the largest sources of information for the game, and now the subreddit is privated and all that info is inaccessible

    Match threads on sporting communities with hundreds of people commenting during the match.

      In general sports communities seem to be less active here in lemmy. Soccer has been okay but the other sports less so.

      I miss this too. I’m usually in too much of a hurry when writing a reply because I get eager, so I make a lot of mistakes.

      I can’t just let them stand and come off as an uncultured swine*, but the “edited” mark implies that I might have “altered the record” or something 🙁

      *I’m not this critical about other people making mistakes, just myself lol

        I see you altered the record in this comment, too 😭

        I don’t care if a comment has been edited. I always assume typos rather than some sinister intent.

      They still didn’t switch to Lemmy? Loved that community, think its weird they still stick to Reddit while they appeared to be some of the strongest Lobbies against API changes and were driving a huge part of the protest

    Is Multireddits the correct term…? Being able to categorize my feeds instead of just having everything lumped together in “Subscribed”.’

    The rest is just taking a bit of time to adjust to. Currently takes a bit longer to research something, though I find my need for answers on Reddit itself is growing less and less!

    Searching for any question +Reddit and finding multiple answers/discussions related to it that are usually reliable or at least lead to ideas for more research. Especially for finding products and reviews.

    I still sometimes look at old.reddit search results even though I don’t have an account any more, but I think those answers will soon become obsolete. And eventually I think new questions will be flooded with low effort trash answers that would make Amazon reviews blush.

    I worry some safe spaces for specific mental illnesses will take quite some time to emerge in here since they are very “niche” communities.

    I think it can be very important for some people to engage with people who share the same struggles. I would totally understand if some people decide to keep using reddit for that sole purpose.

    Sports subreddits. The majority of users on the sports subs I followed got all high and mighty when the strike happened, thinking that they were more important. I made the only post so far on nfl memes and barely got any interaction.

    Nothing, I’m still there, unfortunately. Fact is, there just isn’t that much engagement here, and smaller niche subs that I like will have new posts daily on Reddit, but will sometimes take a week or more here.

    I like the idea of Lemmy quite a bit, and I appreciate the hell out of Memmy and Mlem (can’t decide what I like more), but I also am using Apollo still, and I may have to stick with that for a while.

    The simracing community. There are active subreddits for every single sim, they sadly haven’t made the move yet.

    Sam man. I had everything perfectly set up. Sports, news, financial, etc. it was all so good. I’m enjoying lemmy though and I know with growth and time, all those good things will eventually come along
