Okay, cool. I appreciate the quick reply. I thought for half a second I didn't really understand all of this like I thought haha. That makes way more sense. Thanks again!

So is this a defederation thing? I'm going to assume. Otherwise, what's the point of being federated if I sub to another community on another instance and only the people from my instance can see those comments? Or am I missing something?

Members of the community highlight built in sponsored segments and the extension/addon allows you to skip over them.

I recently discovered STG, and I cannot stress enough how great it is! It takes a minute to set up with colors and group names. But, oh my, how great it is to have my Spotify, Last.fm, Bandcamp, etc, in a Music tab, all my work stuff in a Work group, all my general stuff (Facebook, Lemmy, and so on) in a Home group, and so on. Being able to toggle between them is so useful.

That was suggested for the official announcements: Beehaw Yeehaws. 😂

Test?

Lemmy is promising, and I'm here to stay. I haven't nuked my account on Reddit yet. But as others have said, I don't plan on posting much there anymore. Unfortunately, I'm going to be slightly tethered to wherever the smaller, more niche communities that I like end up.

I am also an 11-year Reddit vet making the move. Welcome! This isn't my first Fediverse experience, but definitely my most promising (I don't really tweet, so Mastodon is kind of whatever to me). This and kbin have been great.

I was also part of the Voat migration. I never left Reddit, as I didn't mind them cracking down on some of the more questionable content, but I did check Voat out. I wasn't part of the cesspool that showed up there, but I did enjoy participating in some of the smaller communities. I think what didn't work was that it just got stale. Same reason I didn't like Snapzu or some of the other "Reddit alternatives." Even larger communities were just... dead. What made Reddit work was that everyone was there, and even small, niche communities had active users.

It looks like someone is making an extension to handle subscribing to Lemmy communities easier from kbin. I'm still trying to figure it all out myself though.
