I think potential is underplaying its current state. I feel it’s already on par if not better than Reddit, the apps are better, the experience is better, no ads, the people are generally nicer, discussion is better, no shit comment metas, etc. Haven’t felt a need to go back to Reddit once since leaving.
It lacks the massive audience to bear non-nerd communities. The formula1 subs are not a patch on reddit, nor are the outdoorsy, camping and flashlight communities.
Also more specific communities, even for the geeky stuff. For example gaming communities are decently active, but not much for specific games.
I have created https://level-up.zone to be an instance for gaming communities. Can you tell me which subreddits you are missing, and would you be interested in helping me bootstrap these communities here?
Will check it out, thanks. I was thinking about starting some and put in some work but I woldn't have the time necessary to invest into it unfortunately. If that changes I will letmyself known though!
No need to worry about keeping them. It would be helpful already just if you tell me what subs you follow, so that I can prioritize when setting up the mirrors.
I followed the bellow gamesnon reddit (excluding those that already have some communities on Lemmy (some reasonably active, some less so) or are almost dead games):
Albion Online (community exists but empty).
Ashes of Creation
Book of Travels (this is super niche though)
Kingdom Come: Deliverance (community exists but empty)
New World
Wayfinder
V Rising (community exists but empty)
This is actually a shorter list than expected, but have similar issue with other hobbies as well. Might hve missed some too.
I think the f1 communities here are fine, they post all the big news and every comment thread doesn't devolve into childish fanboyism!
