for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken? (self.asklemmy)

For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

Kinda. But I don’t care about Reddit itself. I care about a few communities and the people there. I know a couple of them are here. But we are scattered and trying to figure out this site.

Time will tell if this sticks or not. I pretty much hope so.

If someone finds a Lemmy equivalent to r/Grimdank or r/40klore please let me know.

Yeah same. I have no real love for Reddit itself, but it has so many subreddits dedicates to very specific interests. They're so easy to find and they can turn into such a treasure trove of information. I'll stop using Reddit as my "main" social media, but I'll probably still use it just for certain subreddits.

I also am looking for a replacement Grimdank. May the Machine God guide us to a new grimdark shitpost repository.

FOUND IT!!! https://lemmy.world/c/grimdank

Yeah that's basically how I feel too. There are/were some really good communities and content on there, but those things existed in spite of reddit as a platform, which seems determined to just keep being as hostile to its users as possible.

If it does end up going under it's 100% because it did it to itself, so I don't really have any sympathy for them over that tbh.

I've only found minipainting so far, but I'll look out for 40k specific too

Haha, I found this comment because I was searching for a r/40klore replacement. I've spent a huge amount of time reading stuff there; such a great community.

I think replacements for the niche subs like that are going to be hard to get off the ground, especially in the early stages. Let me know if you find one, or start one, though, and I'll be doing my part to subscribe and post immediately!

I've never ventured over to the Bolter and Chainsword forums (https://bolterandchainsword.com/), but I might have to look into it.
