the people still on reddit after the 30th when the third party apps close down, i personally believe can stay there indefinitely. these people, and i, do not exist on the same wavelength.

I definitely agree. The vast majority of people still left on Reddit are those who are corporate bootlickers and those who do not care and just want to doom scroll.

Neither type adds anything to an online community

I don't agree that the vast majority of the people left there are bootlickers.

Most of the people left there seem to be uninterested in technology from the arts and crafts related subs and that's what's really missing in Lemmy/kbin.

There is no /c/woodwoking, /c/printmaking or /c/embroidery and the people that usually visit these don't really care about the underlying tech. Most of the time they just want to share their crafts with their community and things to just work.

I'm almost certain I've seen a woodworking community when browsing all.

I also don't think it's necessarily a question of subject matter so much as that Lemmy's user base is simply not large enough yet to sustain active niche communities, and it's an open question if we can get to that point without degrading the quality of the less focused ones, like /c/crafting or /c/diy.

Only reason I'm still checking reddit is because RIF is still working. After that, I'll see how much I miss it.

Yup, following up on some good comments and discussions I had, watching people migrate and just moving away from reddit completely over the next week.

People are still replying to me, and good posts are still going up. But in 6 days I will no longer be able to access it so here I am.
