  • Thanks my dude! More helpful info.

    As for the communities, makes me think like more back to message board driven web times, where yeah you could have a dozen Star Wars fan forums but each with their own flavor and eventually you’d find the one that’s your own vibe. I did that and dove head first into a few specific places for retro video games (8/16 bit) and some other niche interests like a specific car model, etc.

    There’s an upside to it. I hope this approach gains traction, certainly has seen an injection of life from people jumping ship. But I imagine Reddit will keep plodding along in a week or two as there were a staggering amount of people who had a hard time even understanding why people would leave. Hope the blackout helps.




  • Very helpful. I had a longer response typed out but lost it by clicking “next” instead of reply so I’ll try to paraphrase. Is there a way to see a listing of instances and their size?

    Not sure I get having communities spread across instances, seems like it would be rife for duplication and too spread apart but perhaps that’s just the whole “fediverse” concept if I’m understanding that properly.

    I created https://lemmy.world/c/paramore but I’m going to hold off on any other community creation until I understand things better and I’m confident I’ve found my home “country.”
