Same here. I went through a breakup recently and I've been trying my hardest to not go paddling back to reddit to distract myself from all the feelings... It sucks to not have a place to vent and lean on. I hope the communities keep growing. It's really good vibes here so far, I'm looking forward to more posts as people join.

I made an effort every year or so to cull any subreddits with a lot of negativity. All the supportive communities that were important to me also have doppelganger communities here on Lemmy that i'm now subscribed to. I like the positivity on this platform better anyway so getting rid of reddit will just make my life better.
Me too!
Two days of no Reddit (the boycott), made me feel better and when I started Lemmy I noticed some negativity creeping back, because I'd subscribed to some communities that matched subreddits I had. Did a cull and am still on the look out for posts that signal a community I'm subscribed to is more negative than positive. Then I unsub.
Has anyone else made it through that monstrously huge list of communities? And then the way it lays them out horizontally with subscribe or unsubscribed intermixed is just too much for me to focus on. I wish I could click a button and only see communities I haven't subscribed to. I can see the subs sorted when I look at my homepage. Anyway, I'm rambling.
It does suck losing out on all the niche communities I was a part of, but I'm sure that in time they'll start to come back together in some form or another.
I hope it continues to be at least this good, I really hope it becomes more diversified and keeps communities of hate and trolls from participating.
kbin is really nice, just like Mastodon. Reddit is so damn angry all the time, just like twitter.
Yeah reddit is full of opposite men who literally argue just to argue regardless of their actual stance. I stopped commenting there awhile ago since it wasn't fun, just toxic.
Nuh uh.
~Kidding.~
Right there with you. Only started following the subreddits a few months ago and it was invaluable before I decided to leave reddit fully. Glad to see that there is already a community building up here, seems like it'll be a really nice platform.
Is this the same community as the one on reddit?
No, I don't think this one is run by the same people from Reddit. Just the same idea. But to be fair, all you need for the community is a group of people with similar experiences/struggles and a place to discuss it. There wasn't anything special about the mods on reddit
