None at the moment, used to have a Netflix subscription but not even that now.
Even the bots migrated from Reddit.

Good to see Iron Fist Alexander has found someone!
Got it, thank you for the explanation.
One of my concerns is that a big corp adopts it, makes it popular and contributes to it so much that they might as well own it. For example, imagine a company like Microsoft or Google ends up making an instance and their own software like Lemmy or kbin. Since they have the money to develop, refine it and advertise, it could gain mainstream popularity and people start creating communities and content inside Microsoft’s or Google’s instance. If it grows to a point where 80%-95% of the content generated is from that single instance then what happens then? Sure we can still create accounts on Lemmy.world or kbin.social and see that content but we’re relying on the content on their instance. If they decide to defederate then we lose all that content so then you’ll have to create an account with them to access it (just like Reddit). And if we don’t we’ll have to start over again, at least when it comes to content.
I’m still figuring out how all of this works so I might be wrong.
Definitely. Plus, there can be more than one community for niches and that’s alright, for people who don’t want to use Reddit there’s a community for them and for people who don’t care then they can keep using the one over there. These new communities shouldn’t feel like they “owe” something to the equivalent community on Reddit, the new ones are just as legit as them.
Kinda looks like something to adjust pressure but I’m not sure.
