I am almost a mirror-image of you regarding Reddit, except to me Reddit was Apollo rather than RIF. I too have cancelled Reddit Premium, which I paid to support a platform I used a lot. LIke you I am trying out the fediverse via lemmy, kbin, and mastadon; and, like you, I am enjoying mastodon and using it much more than I ever used Twitter. Finally, like you, I have gone back to RSS feeds and old forums I used before my Reddit habit overshadowed them. And other people I know are doing the same, albeit they tend to be the more techy inclined.

I am always in favor of gettin' real nerdy. This reminds me a bit of the podcast The Lazy Doctor Who, where over time (with no particular schedule) the podcasters post podcasts for every episode in order of Doctor Who. In their case they comment while rewatching the episode. A podcast is different than a community post on Lemmy. However, it might be beneficial to slow down a bit and post less frequently to give people time to watch/rewatch the episode in question as context for your posts and thus encourage more discussion among subscribers, particularly as the community hopefully grows over time.
