There’s still quite a few subreddits I miss. Plus the larger community. Some communities are here, but they’re dead with no users, and I don’t really have what to contribute.
I wanted to try listing all of them, but I realized there’s like 40 of them.
Mostly, I miss r/batteries, r/ElectroBOOM, r/linuxmint, r/ManjaroLinux, r/LinuxMasterrace, r/SpaceXMasterrace, r/pcmasterrace, r/computers, r/laptops, r/amateursatellites, r/whatisthisthing and r/RTLSDR which also had cool people like developer of noaa-apt and Ryzerth, the developer of SDR++, plus many more.
Edit: Oh, how could I forget dereksgc, another cool guy who puts out lots of useful info.
I can leave the larger community, but I do miss a couple subreddits.
The good thing about the Reddit before the dark times of 3 weeks ago, was that it had a large enough user graph that there were enough people with niche interests to have an active community. Facebook also has this critical user graph.
The good thing about ActivityPub based communities is that there is the potential to have much larger federated user graphs than the individual closed business-based platforms.

Things will slowly grow if we all stick with Lemmy though. It’s really just a matter of time until it reaches a critical mass.
Yes that’s the only thing I would miss from Reddit. The wealth of knowledge that lives on their servers and the community until they more over here
It’ll come with time.

Personally I have no idea why there’s too little activity of Linux users moving over to Lemmy.
Edit: I take it back, a simple search for “Linux” using wefwef and sorting by Top shows [email protected] with a very active userbase.
