On their own instance, that they run. So again, who cares?

Yeah indeed, discoverability is lacking in Lemmy at the moment.
What I'm saying is that while tiny communities are great, the fact that they haven't moved to a federated platform yet doesn't really matter. Anybody, including yourself, can start up those communities on the Fediverse and curate them if there is enough of a reason to do so or just continue to engage them on Reddit too.
I see something similar in a lot of tech-related threads too.
Just check out posts and comments about Corsair and AMD in particular. There is often no room for logic, facts or debate around their products on Reddit. Rather, threads feel like you're stuck in a marketing promo event where everyone feels the products are great and fantastic and can do no wrong. It's eerily like you're seeing a bunch of bots or paid shill accounts all talking to each other.
It's debatable whether a lot of these smaller communities really provided much value outside the tiny userbase they have.
Besides, if someone wants to pick up the mantle on Lenny they are more than welcome to as well.
I'm happy with the amount of users and activity Lemmy currently has. It doesn't really need go grow though any means other than organically imo.
What you need is medication, not food.
Get a bunch of laxatives, stool softener (if you need it juicy) and even some lactaose and senna if you're real keen.
Then eat a shitload of greasy food and you're set.
Notice how Reddit haven't engaged in any positive damage control at all? It's just been hit pieces against devs, an AMA with completely canned responses and unprecedented wide-spread hostile action against it's content creators/power users/mods?
Reddit is in full-blown sell out mode right now and nothing but money matters anymore. It's all down hill from here.
Indeed, however it's not worse than the current situation is now with Reddit.
I'm looking forward to June 30 so I can delete RIF off my phone and be done with the joint.
The timing must have sent ernest's head spinning I think.
We're not even using their software now. It shows the power of open source that all of this can coexist peacefully despite differing opinions.
