I've been through multiple aggregator site meltdowns and migrations. Some will stay, some will go, everyone will eventually find a new home. No worries!

I think when you throw a larger number of people together, it's just different, people have less of a point because it's probably already been made, and we are reduced to generalizations and argument.
So far I am not really missing my niche hobby communities. There is only so much to talk about on that one topic, and repetive, same point posts, and I'm sort of interested in everything anyway.
Im finding I am more interested in people in general, and learning, than my little interests and the repitive discussion surround it. For now.
I think it may come down to personality, and we can have both things here, because you can just spin up your own thing. I'm finding that I much prefer smaller communities. But that's just me, and lemmy etc is gonna become whatever it becomes regardless, and I'm just along for the ride.
r/redditalternatives is looking pretty bleakly upon Lemmy and federation in general. Seeing a lot about the technical limitations of server load for all the instances and stuff, which does concern me, but I’m not knowledgeable enough on the subject to know whether it’s actually viable or not. I’m really hoping it is ‘cause this has been a huge breath of fresh air this past week!
Aaaaand I totally misread the title, you don’t want Reddit to migrate here, you want them to stay there! So maybe my comment makes you more hopeful haha, because they all seem pretty skeptical about the fediverse. I’m totally down for giving it a shot though, the “small world” nature of it really is refreshing.
This feels more connected and actual discussions happening here, rather than circlejerking same memes around for fake points.
The direction is good, and also love the federation part.Lemmy will evolve and become a real contender, especially with the community guidance on what people want.
There will still be reddit, but also a new rising community on Lemmyverse.
I just want the ones with less than 3 braincells to stay there. Hopefully they'll be offput by lemmy. The rest can come. The idiotic replys I'd get that were just so wrong is what made me delete my account there years ago in the first place. I've been enjoying my time here for the most part.
Well I'd like to see a lot more people here. I hope there's something to keep people coming after the Reddit hate wears off. I just want to see social media spread to more platforms generally, and it looks like that's beginning to happen. I'd like it to continue!
I just hope the capitalist bootlickers stay there. I'm tired of bad faith arguments that try to slow down class solidarity.
Ah it would seem it's too late lol
