I will miss RIF.

I have a lot of niche communities that I interacted with daily. My hobbies, my profession, and other interests. Over the last 12 years.

It was a place where I went for news, discussion, and knowledge.

I'm sad, actually sad 😞

I hope I can find what I'm looking for on Lemmy. Maybe I can start and foster community. I fear the fragmented nature of the fediverse may prevent healthy growth, and keep communities broken apart and small. I don't yet know enough to trust the stability and longevity, what if the host for an instance decides this isn't fun anymore? What if they die? Do all the communities that depend on it also perish, and fragment to other instances?
