Good for you! Thanks, communities make sense. Seems like an interesting project, I am a programmer so I'll give it a shot

I hear you. That's why I think the process will be more gradual. We need to see communities evolve over time.

I really just spent 5 min creating a lemmy account and subscribing to the sublemmies(? pages? what do we even call the subreddits of lemmy) I found interesting. Perhaps I'll invest some time setting up my own instance

He is right, but I don't see any problem with it. Personally I prefer lemmy to Reddit, but I still go back to Reddit due to the lack of content here. It will probably be a gradual transition where I completely stop using Reddit, and I am fine with it.
