I kinda get this. It's not reddit that I need, I just need aggregated links of shit I'm interested in. A "front page" to my internet, so to speak. There are plenty of the smaller communities that don't yet have much presence here, so I feel a little itch occasionally, but hopefully they'll start to develop too.
As long as this place continues to grow, it could be really easy to just abandon that old site. I'm trying to contribute and help that process.
It’s gonna be great that such a monumental news story will have this as the top comment. You’ve got my upvote.
I can see pros and cons. More people all at once gives greater odds of some unique perspective to take hold that would otherwise only be seen in a single smaller sub community. But there’s also a more vested interest in the health of “your” community if it’s smaller.
Baseball is a fun example because I’m really sad the biggest group so far has only like 80 subscribers. I NEEEEEED my fix of baseball chatter so I really want that one to grow, lol.
This, combined with some other news stories explicitly mentioning Lemmy as an alternative, is a very positive thing for the community here.
