Reddit Migration

I still use reddit for some of the niche community-based subs that haven't been replicated here, like What's That Book?, a place where a while bunch of readers and librarians try to help people find books they remember a bit about, but not the title or author. That one is a lot of fun because people are so excited when they get an answer, and because the community is strong enough that most people do get answers. It seems like it would be hard to recreate that experience here. Similar is the Learn Math subreddit, where people ask about things they aren't understanding or can't figure out in their math studies, at pretty much any level, and the community comes up with multiple explanations and thoughts. The variety of questions and the in-depth answers are remarkable.

Generally it just feels a lot smaller and a fair bit more homogenous here. I like this site too, but it kinda feels like what reddit used to be is just gone now.

Settled in, mostly.

Of course I need to access information I can't find elsewhere at Reddit once in a while but if I create content in there, it's about kbin only.

Looking at interesting discussions to be a part of, trying to make kbin a more fleshed-out service with ideas rushing through my head, enjoying the reputation points dripping in 😃 And trying to come up with different themes under a topic to a magazine while dreaming to get even a few more peeps over there!

i havent been active here for weeks, months maybe, but before i was arguably one of the most active on the site during and after the reddit stuff. i do miss making scripts and styles for kbin, the feeling of community, and the urge to create content. coming back i see a lot of activity died off, expectedly, but there is a tight-knit but welcoming community that has formed and it's nice too see. does feel a bit empty though?

Using an open source client of my choice (voyager) that I actually like better than the reddit clients I used before, enjoying fewer posts with less, but usually better, more interesting and/or funny contents and comments. The only thing I miss is the rust (programming) community, which ironically didn't really move to lemmy (but still got smaller/less active on reddit), so I sometimes still lurk that subreddit while obviously not contributing anything to it myself.

I've muted and or blocked about 200 places so far. As long as you don't go into anything political or religious it's okay. Of course, just like Reddit, Lemmy is dominated in those categories by extreme leftist authoritarians and edgy atheists

Not sure. There's a lot of kinda creepy stuff on here 😰
