The only successful example I found the other day was https://old.reddit.com/r/FloatingIsFun/, now [email protected]
If a few other communities could move over there, that would help make the platform more active.
There is a banned subreddit that recently moved here (I won’t mention it to avoid them getting raided, but if you browse All you probably know which one I’m talking about), that was very interesting, and some proof that the current tools (the websites, the mobile apps, the interfaces) could work for people outside of the usual “tech / Linux / FOSS” bubble.
What do you think?
Laaate reply, but: 1) it seems to me there’s a big bloc of users who truly despise Reddit, and would go anywhere else but back, 2) there seems to be a pretty big bloc of users who are comfortable with the size and nature of Lemmy, and don’t want to go anywhere else AFAIK.
