Like others have said I'm going to miss the niche subreddits and the thousand different cat subs lol
Yeah, same. But that's why we're gravitated here. To grow those gardens back.
That only happens when reddit doubles down on the api charges. If they stand back to make it barely usable, the migration will slowly stop imho. I really wish reddit would die, but at the end of the day, I'll be part of the problem when I'll probably stay where the bigger community potential will be.
To me, it's more about critical mass. Reddit isn't going to die, but imo reddit has gotten too big anyway. I wouldn't want everyone on reddit to migrate to Lemmy. All we need is enough people to get the ball rolling, and then things will grow organically.
