I love it tbh. Just wish my niche communities had more people. But that just takes time

Agreed. Patience is key. One thing I remember about the digg migration and the telltale sign that digg was dead is when you went to it and digg was just full of links to reddit.

I think we need to do the same thing. Originate the content on lemmy, and xpost it on Reddit.

For sure, I can wait no problem. I'll just explore other communities until my niches get more filled out. I'm excited for the future

You know what would help? If the instance list (and perhaps even the community lists) actually displayed a description of its purpose and intended content.

Agreed. Discoverability is kinda hard right now.
