Reddit Migration

Be proactive :)

To help deal with the existential dread, at least half of my Reddit subs were various cat subs, as well as subs for other cute animals, and I long for the day that I can get there again.

You have to have a lot of users in order to find enough people to create e niche community. For example I created an anarchist One Piece community but well..maybe it's to much of a miche right now for lemmy

If you help them , contact them, we can get them over.

Congratulations! You get to help found those niche communities in a new place!

When I joined Kbin I created the communities I was most active in. Someone created my favorite community just before I did, so I instead requested to be added as a mod and I am now the most active poster there. I am the author of most of the posts there, and the number of subscribers is growing slowly but steadily. I think we just have to do what what's needed to make this the place we want it to be. A lot of us are going to have to go from lurkers to moderators, from occasional users to prolific posters. Things have to start somewhere. If we all just wait until someone else does what we expect, then we're all just stay waiting and nothing is going to happen.

We need a technical backend and all my technical subs. IT, Python, Unreal Engine, Unity3D,

There is the Fediverse, and there is kbin.social. I'm not even sure how to see what niche communities are out in the Fediverse. You'd have to go through each instance to see what magazines/communities (these are referred to differently in different places) exist out there. Is there a or could there be a directory of sorts to list your magazine/community so that others can find it?

I feel confident in saying we should not be planning to host every single community on kbin.social.

It took a long time for niche communities to pop up on Reddit too, remember Reddit has been around a long time now. Back in the day, Digg was the shiznit and nobody knew about Reddit.

I feel like the niche communities will come with time, so I'm not super worried outside of what happens to one specific writing community's audience, which matters a lot if you're a writer trying to build an audience, particularly if you don't want to wait a few years for the community you're been writing a book for to grow again.

What I'm really missing is the ability to browse /r/all, which will undoubtedly be harder with Lemmy/Kbin. Having something that can aggregate those well is going to be super important for federated communities to snowball together.

Bro, the boom is still under way, be patient.

Same here. As frustrated as I've been with Reddit for years now, what kept me there was that it was really the only place to get tailored news and discussions on my special interests. I'm still not gonna go back to reddit, but I don't know what I do instead.

I tried to set up a few magazines myself, but it's pretty clear there aren't enough people on this platform for me to find anyone who shares common interests on the things I want to talk about.

Feel like I'm just gonna be a hermit out in the mountains out of the loop on everything.

Slowly trying to figure this site out!

Speaking of those large subs. Does anyone have the equivalent of world news, news, and games subreddits here?

I found a technology one, just need to grab those other ones. Links appreciated.
