That’s my issue. Loads of very niche subreddits that are the opposite of technical (gardening and plants and stuff). So the users will never switch… It took 5+ years to build those communities up in the first place.
But I popped back in to check today, and they’re all back open and the users are terrible, just ranting against the blackout and licking reddits boot like crazy. So it makes me sad to lose those communities and all that information, but if thats the quality of the userbase… I can’t bring myself to go back.
You’d think there’d be overlap between organic gardening, or NoLawns, or homesteading that would click with the federated, less capitalistic Lemmy… But nope.
