I kinda get this. It’s not reddit that I need, I just need aggregated links of shit I’m interested in. A “front page” to my internet, so to speak. There are plenty of the smaller communities that don’t yet have much presence here, so I feel a little itch occasionally, but hopefully they’ll start to develop too.
As long as this place continues to grow, it could be really easy to just abandon that old site. I’m trying to contribute and help that process.
This, combined with some other news stories explicitly mentioning Lemmy as an alternative, is a very positive thing for the community here.
