This post should NOT be taken as some kind of insult towards the mods of the previous subreddit, nor should it be seen as some justification for the dumb crap that Reddit is trying to pull with their API. I am totally against Reddit trying to price gouge people who make their site better.

However, I made a post on the thread that announced the indefinite lockdown that people would not switch sites and ultimately it would harm the community because 75-80% of people wouldn't switch, and it seems my number was really wrong. It is more like 95%+. I guess I am making this thread to ask if it is worth fracturing the main place for the PoE community to gather (for better or worse)? I think it is worth a legitimate discussion, because I hate the idea that the PoE community is the one getting harmed because of Reddit's poor decision making. Maybe Reddit will change their tune and this won't matter, but if they're not are we just going to stay away from there forever? Unless this site (which is out of control of the mods here) gets massive upgrades then I just don't ever see it being used at all.

Feel free to give your thoughts and I hope that my post comes across as genuine.

Give Lemmy a chance to surge when the next league hype starts. There's a lot to be gained; switching from Reddit to Lemmy would a boon to the community the way the wiki migration from Fandom to community-run was.

The larger Lemmy instances like Lemmy.world and Beehaw are decently active. This instance is discoverable from them, but there are only a small handful of subscribers from each, PoE is too niche for non-PoE players.

This instance could grow with some work though. There's nothing on reddit that ties PoE players to it outside of just historical momentum.

I'm not tied to reddit personally, but will obviously go wherever the activity is. I do find the growth of the federated social media to be fascinating though, and think it's a good alternative to reddit.
