What value did you get from Reddit that you hope to realize or expand upon here? (lemmy.world)

For me, it's a few things.

A way to burn time that doesn't feel like a digital sugar rush.
Support, camaraderie, and kindness, primarily from /r/stopdrinking.
Niche stuff, like ideas for local hiking and backpacking trips, propaganda posters, and kayaking info.

I’ll co-sign all of that! Niche stuff is why I was on Reddit.

Fitness for FTM guys, my city’s local page, subs for my dogs’ specific breeds, Jewish cooking. The communities that grew organically in n niche spots brought me a lot of joy.

Also hey! Kayaking! If you know of a Lemmy community for it, I’m game! Always nice to run into other paddlers.

That's great stuff! I really hope we can build Lemmy up so that it scratches our niche itch.

There's an unpopulated kayaking sub I found yesterday: https://lemmy.ml/c/kayaking (Not sure if I'm sharing that link correctly or in a way that makes it easy to navigate.)

I posted a photo yesterday. Would be awesome to help get it off the ground!

try tagging it as !kayaking@lemmy.ml, or @kayaking (this latter one is for users on kbin, mastodon, etc.) for a more fediverse-inclusive link! that way, you're not sending people to a specific instance

Thank you!
