Yeh I’m in the same boat. The day the internal memo came out about how everything will blow over, I deleted Apollo. I haven’t been back to reddit since and after the first week, I don’t even miss it now.

I wish lemmy was a bit busier, but outside of that the general atmosphere and quality here is better. Even if everything was reversed and Spez was booted, I won’t return now.

Actually, I like the small community vibe of Lemmy. It’s the dead sub vibe I have a problem with. There are lots of really interesting communities, but you don’t see people posting anything yet.

I like a lot of the tiny vibe but I miss girl Reddit. It was such a unique social media atmosphere and I haven’t managed to find it here. I hope more of the women from Reddit come here

Yeah! It, trollx and witchesvspatriarchy were some of my favorite subs.

I've seen a couple of witchy communities pop up here, apologies I can't link because I'm on mobile but try searching at lemmyverse.net and it should turn up some stuff.

I really hope witchesvspatriarchy moves to the Fediverse; one of my faves

We’ve found each other again! Those were my top subs as well.

[–] captainlezbian 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, this isn’t the same account name I used on them but I loved those subs. I’m so glad it looks like there are a lot of women on here
