As much as I've been enjoying Lemmy and really like it as a platform, I don't think any of this this is fine because there are just too many niche communities that are either unwilling or unable to just pick up and move, which means that in practice to the extent that I only participate here and not on Reddit I am missing out on a lot of content that I used to look forward to.
This was actually how the internet was before Reddit as well.
People move and adapt. Reddit wasn't always the shining beacon of communities you think it currently is.
Activity Pub is a clear improvement over Reddit, and separating from Spez's incompetence is a bonus.
You are putting words into my mouth that I did not speak nor do I think; I have only pointed out that there are communities on Reddit that do not have a strong presence here whose absence I miss.
While I hope you are correct in this case, this is not always true. Sometimes good things are simply lost.
I agree, which is why I have shifted the vast majority of the time I spent on Reddit here instead.
Edit: Ah, lovely, a downvote without a reply. Glad to see that the Lemmy community is such a dramatic improvement over the Reddit community. :-)
