Now, I'm excited for the threadiverse that could be.

It hurts to lose everything we had, but leaving is the only way to have better platforms in the future.
It's also not that bad. Most okder users went through plenty of online communities.
True enough. I'm just a young lad who grew up in the age of social media centralization, so this is my first real platform migration.
Is the title supposed to sound like a Narcotics Anonymous meeting or am I just projecting?
In a way social media is a drug and most of us were addicted. At least I was on Reddit, because I liked being there. So not using it, especislly when it was kind of a habit may not be easy for many on virtue fo that alone.
were addicted
Kinda reminds me of the feeling I had when I left Digg for Reddit.
Having come from helping run some very large communities as well as a lot of niche communities.
Kbin and Lemmy give me the same kind of feeling Reddit gave me almost 12+ years ago.
Been lamenting losing some niche subreddits that I frequented, but it almost makes me want to start those communities here on lemmy.
Im sure there are a few people who have the same idea but dont know how to like myself.
Ah well, maybe myself or someone else will get around to it soon enough.
I've also been mourning the loss of some of my smaller subreddits and thinking of re-creating them here. If you do end up doing so yourself, consider making one last post on those old subs to recommend others join as well!
I’m really impressed with how quickly lemmy is building a community, shitposts, beans, and all.
If we humans are good at anything, it's ruining things and building community
Same! Been on wefwef for the past 3 days and although it will take time getting used to the reduced posts/comments, it's still amazing!
The reduced amount of comments here actually motivate me to comment more. On Reddit I wouldn't even bother commenting on a lot of posts as they would have comments in the hundreds sometimes and I couldn't see the point to bother just having my comment never seen in a sea like that.
