Shame the instances list doesn’t include reason for blocking. Looking at the names most seem obvious (and I don’t feel like I’m missing out on those) but there must be some grey areas.

I read these threads and end up thinking I have ADHD… or a chronic case of Internet Induced Short Attention Span

Thanks, I should’ve been more specific, I’ve been searching but either find old dormant subs with zero audience, or (more often) nothing at all.

Would be great if there was a way to register interest in a subs that don’t yet exist, it might encourage people to get them started.

Would be a shame to lose this week’s momentum - though I’m having fun so far 🙂

I’ve been browsing communities, but I’m reaching a lot of dead ends. Guess j either wait and see, or try to create them myself.

I’ll check out that sub though, thanks

Is there a way for people to express interest in new communities, and for people to help set them up and circulate when it’s there?

I know it doesn’t exactly seem hard, but it’s enough of a barrier for someone who’s already feeling hesitant.

With subs going down, it scrubs my history in them anyway, so unless they all come back up or are forced back open with new mods, a lot of my history is already gone.

I know what you mean. I’ve posted some comments that I know have been useful because I get replies years later, from people who’ve googled the topic. I don’t want to remove any of that, but I’ll just leave it dormant.

If this is my new home, I’ll be less attached to that Reddit account over time.

How are you getting on with finding communities? I’ve really struggled. I’d be open to creating some communities myself and if there’s engagement I’d be happy to hand over to a better mod, but I’m not sure of the best practices, which instance to use, etc.

Double edge sword, isn’t it. There’s a sweet spot that Reddit passed over a decade ago. I don’t need endless memes and hot takes, or dopamine triggering feeds.

I’m hoping for a backlash to the TikTok-ification of everything.

I’ve been back into Mario Kart since finally getting the extra DLC tracks. Just started Dishonored 2 and Mass Effect 2, though I’ve been a bit anxious lately, so I’m finding TOTK to be good therapy ☺️

I love the idea of Lemmy and I haven’t found it too hard to create an account and get the gist of things.

BUT, the novelty will wear off and I’m not interested in general channels. I used Reddit for UX design, menslib, indieheads, OCD support, and lots of niche stuff that doesn’t seem to exist here.

I know the answer is for me to get involved, but I work long hours and am a single dad to 2 … I could set something up, but I don’t have time to find quality OC and nurture multiple communities. I’d honestly be a poor mod.

I half expect Reddit to announce major changes to their official app, which may be enough to win a proportion of people back.
