    The thing that really bothers me is that some of the communities I was active in through mobile are pretty much impossible to find outside of reddit.

    They’re way small on it, too, so who knows if they’ll even migrate or just fade away.

      This here is really my only concern. I followed a good number of subs that existed for actual discussion, not just meme dumps, and unless they’re migrated to Lemmy, I will be missing them.

      Sure, I can access Reddit just for those topics, but so far I’m staying away from that site completely in my own self-protest.
      ( I know, I know, I’m a literal molecule in a drop in a bucket, but damnit, I’m doing my part! :) )

        Be the change you want to see in the world. If those communities haven’t come over, start them. Seed them.

          I think that’s going to be my plan, if I can talk to some of the current mods and ask them to do so here as well. I’ll create the new communities, but have no interest or time for actually moderating them.

      I’ve tried browsing with the app but the content I’m being fed seems to have different priorities to rif. The niche stuff that I really want to read appears to be being buried.

      It’s made it so much easier to just not give them any content myself as I decided to stop posting there.

      I’m really looking forward to seeing where lemmy goes as it’s attracting the kind of people I enjoy associating with. Reddit is headed in the opposite direction IMO.

        I feel like I was noticing this on the main site as well. I’d be surprised if they hadn’t been changing the algorithms to spoon feed us specific content, but there’s also a very high likelihood that the overall feel of the content has changed after swaths of people migrated out, and then I’m sure I have a bias against Reddit now as well :P
