Reddit refugees, has your favorite sub migrated already? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I, being someone who works with computers, have had some luck with most of my favorite subs being here already.

Despite that, some of my hobby ones still aren't here. NFL exists, but it's the same as nothing so far. Soccer I couldn't find at first, maybe today it already does? Also, no sign of fantasy football.

I also followed a bunch of History subs, but looks like most people in Lemmy only care about science and technology.

Tell us, what is missing for you?

Not really, and I have low hopes of that happening, tbh.

Most communities are very low-tech, so users might have a hard time adapting to the environment.

I think it is just normal that it becomes filled with tech people at first. Then these people help the environment improve, new features are born, new apps and then there's a boom,

[–] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I hope so. I just hope this time it's taking off in the right way, I've been one of the first 100 users to migrate over to Voat when shit hit the fan years ago on reddit, and that community went down the deep end real quick.

Voat

As in alt-right, fascist shit?

I don't think this is where Lemmy is going, tbh.

Originally, it was just a Reddit alternative. It turned that way later when regular users went back to Reddit and the more extreme users stuck around voat

[–] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 4 points 1 year ago

Yep exactly. Sure hope this won't happen again. I guess being able to block some of those servers entirely will certainly help.

pretty much. the very nature of the open source, decentralized fedi tends to attract a certain mindset; a mindset that is decidedly anti-fascist. with vigilant pushback when needed i think we will be good.

Like for example the default search for communities should be All due to the confusion of search results only popping up with internal instance communities. I worked it out noticing no @ but most newbies will get confused and see jangled messes of community and instance addresses.

[–] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 3 points 1 year ago

Yep, I agree. Joined through an instance run by a friend, so we might be able to tweak it locally, but unless we suggest it as a feature in git and merge it into the main built, I don't see that coming as a default setting.
