I landed here after RIF stopped working on my device and followed RIF link. This will be my new place to find content and see aggregation. Here it is to the end of reddit that starts today! 🍻

Hi everybody. Make sure to actually start posting and commenting in other communities. I’ve seen so many posts about coming here from Reddit which is fine. But we can’t keep posting about only that.
This right here. As much as I’ve been enjoying Lemmy, it’s also been hard to go strictly-Lemmy, because the active users currently here aren’t quite as deliciously trashy as some of the subreddits. Like, yeah, I’m a developer, yeah I’m a nerd, but you know what? I like makeup tutorials and talking crap about the Teen Mom franchise. I could descend to deep diving in all my guilty pleasures on Reddit, and it’s crickets over here in comparison.
So…I’m trying. But it’ll only be as successful as the content we generate.
Give it time. I remember back in 2007, Reddit was rough around the edges and didn’t have the billion users it has now. It will take time. Slowly but surely, unique communities will emerge.
I’ve seen content explode and I only joined and started having a look yesterday the instant RIF died. At first it was broken as shit, and there wasn’t much to look at. This morning, my front page pretty much resembles my front page on Reddit, except the numbers (points and comment counts) are smaller.
All in all, things are looking good and I feel like in probably a month or less, this place will start to feel like home.
