I actually really miss, reading my subscribed subreddits. And it is definitely not about the platform. I think Lemmy is absolutely capable of doing exactly what reddid was doing for me. The problem is, that my communities are just not here. Web3 is about the people that make it.
I am all in for FOSS and federalization. Lemmy is perfect for that, but it feels empty to me. I will keep lurking and see, if some communities move away from reddit.
EDIT: I wasn’t aware that i shouldn’t have posted here. Take it as my debut post, which is also my first fuck up ;D
Are you sure there are no communities for what you are interested in? The search on your instance might be somewhat limited or show communities after a while, but you can use https://browse.feddit.de/ to find things you are interested in. Try alternate wordings, like stm32->mcu->microcontrollers->embedded, etc.
If the communities are really not here, maybe it’s time to create one? Advertise it around, find some mods, so you don’t have to moderate alone and it might turn out ok.
Btw. I don’t want to be rude, but why did you post this here?
i wasnt aware. whops. I would have thought, that posting from normal users would be prohibited in that case.
Then how would we ask questions about the instance? :) Especially when someone has problems logging in.
Don’t worry, you’re not the first and definitely not the last ;)
As to your original question, my subscription list was also a little bit thin a few days ago. I spent some time looking for communities, sometimes subscribed to “gaming” instead of “elite dangerous” and I don’t feel there is lack of content anymore. Also, since many communities are new, created by new users, for now we have to accept subscribing to 5 thematically the same communities on different instances. I think there will be a grassroots consolidation move soon.
