I really do like KBin and Lemmy and the fediverse on the whole, but development is still young and the userbase still growing. KBin is still basically early access, and Lemmy is buggy. I spent alot of time in reddit and I’m feeling the pain of trying to ween myself from it. Just wanted to here community perspectives and see how other’s are taking it.

For me, I feel a bit of a sore hollow spot for what reddit used to be and watching it implode is not fun for me.

    I still have my Reddit account with ~20 multireddits and countless subs. I enjoy the new experience on kbin and Lemmy, but I also miss my niche subreddits and the weird awe that I get occasionally from the mainstream subs.

    I hope the typical offsite humour and the in-depth discussions will also migrate to kbin and Lemmy.

    In the meantime, I urge everyone to create magazines for their niche interests to prepare this platform for more exiles and give them a homely start 👍

      You don’t even need to quit reddit. Using ublock origin already ensures they’re making less money off you.

      Hell, copy good content from reddit, and make a magazine to post it to.

        I’ve wondered about this myself. Like a mirror bot or something to give people something to see here, which would be especially good for lurkers who wouldn’t comment anyway. I haven’t looked at the API docs or anything but it might be something a beginner using something as ‘easy’ as Node or Python could lay out. Or maybe it’s already been done but they haven’t told anyone
