      Reddit’s pretty good for niche support communities that still manage to have an active userbase. I wish I could cut the cord entirely but Lemmy just isn’t there yet.

        It doesn’t help that you’ve joined an instance that defederated from the largest (world). Welcome, by the way!

          The fact that the largest is still so significantly bigger than the rest that this can be a concern shows that Lemmy still hasn’t come anywhere close to being where it needs or is supposed to be.

          The network should not rest one the shoulders of one or two websites.

          …I totally forgot that was a thing, thank you. It’s been a while since I was active on the fediverse.

          And thanks!

          I didn’t mean that was a complaint against reddit, I just meant it’s a reason a lot of people have been reluctant to leave. I’d love to see the site die personally, but I still think it’s a little more complicated than self respect.

          Also while yeah I hate to be a person who complains and then doesn’t take any action, I know for a fact that I don’t have it in me to moderate a support group between jobs.

              Yup, there’s a handful of niche communities that just don’t exist on lemmy. I joined their discords instead, some of the content crosses over anyway
