I'm having trouble finding communities in lemmy.ml here (is one of the unblocked instances). I can find them from another lemmy instance, just not here. How often are the communities updated? I'm hoping to make beehaw my 'home' instance.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Really liking it so far. I joined Mastodon a couple of months back and like it there too. It's a shame because I spent most of my social media time scrolling Reddit, but I'm sure the Fediverse is going to get there.
Even though it was twitter that spurred me joining the fediverse nearly a year ago, I was more of a reddit user than I ever was a twitter user, which is why it was one of the first things I came looking for when I joined the fediverse.
We spun up lemmy.blahaj.zone around 6 months ago so that I could scratch that itch, but it always lacked enough traffic to really do the job.
However now? The amazing growth and huge burst of activity? It's honestly shifted my perspective on what the future of the fediverse might be. I find myself really active on lemmy (and kbin before they had to go behind the Cloudflare CDN), even moreso than I was on the microblogging fediverse, because of its topic centric view.
I think the future of the fediverse might be one in which microblogging is "a" fediverse feature instead of the spotlight feature.

Honestly I’m really liking it more than I thought I would. It will take a while for it to be as comfortable as Reddit was, especially as Mlem development matures, but I’m most likely here to stay once Apollo has officially bitten the dust
Hey Chris. Seeing more and more people from my Mastodon feed here :)
I'm very impressed by Lemmy. Some of the communities like Beehaw have been excellent, even before the recent Reddit API-apocalypse. Self-hosting has been a bit challenging compared to the more mature (I guess) Mastodon but I hope to get it sorted out soon.

Right now it's feeling pretty darn small. Once it hits a million users, it'll feel fine.
