datahoarder
Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

I don't know about r/datahorder but I can tell you for sure that not everyone is willing to come to Lemmy.
Lemmy has a few bugs and it's slow. The subscribe button sometimes take a couple minutes to work, and I can't even create a post in the lemmy.world community. It will take a few more months to perfect it.
For real, is not perfect by any means, but I can assure you web mobile version is way ahead than Reddit's already lol.
I can agree on that, plus I'm not pestered every few page refreshes to get the app!
So true. I've been using the browser on my phone and everything is actually readable. And comments having pics within them blew my mind.
It's not perfect. But I've noticed a disdain for Lemmy in people for no reason at all. I think it's due to the perceived complexity. If you go to join-lemmy.org, it's a little confusing. Many simply give up trying to decide which instance to join. That's a reason why sites like squabbles are getting so much attention.
Don't link people to join-lemmy.org, link them to one specific instance. Once they're in they can figure out the rest
I know. I'm just saying that that's the experience many are having.
