A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Its pretty much the same as old reddit, so it is fine. I am sure that there will be addons and stuff to bring back any functionality that is missing.
In terms of the community, it is hard to say - the same subs that I spent so much time and enjoyed so much are either not here or nowhere near as big and developed. I used to spend a lot of time on Formula1, Battlebots, but my account was nearly 12 years old and I had many that I used to visit from time to time for fun. Many of those are just not there in any meaningful way.
It is just going to take time to rebuild, I think.
Redditor of 11 years here - i feel you.
For what it's worth, i'm trying to start one of my favorite reading subs (maliciouscompliance) -
-/c/maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world -https://lemmy.world/c/maliciouscompliance -!maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world
I'm interested in Battlebots too, so if you start one I'll definitely join!
16 year user of reddit here, just create the communities you miss. With the massive influx of users, they will fill up quickly. It only took 1 day after I created lemmy.world/c/psvr for people to start posting content there. It feels to me like it will only take a few weeks before we can have some semblance of parity to reddit content. And it feels much more like pre-digg migration reddit to me, which is very much a good thing. I think the golden years for lemmy will be coming quite soon.
Not everyone has the time or inclination to moderate those communities they make, though. That's the only thing that's preventing me from making a bunch of the old communities I miss. I hope some of the big mods move over here and keep doing it. I miss AITA, some DnD and RPG subs, and some other fun story subs. I also prefer my movie and TV communities split up instead of in one mega community like in !moviesandtv@lemmy.film.
So far, not a major issue as spam and bots are about 1000x less prominent here, so there's not much to do. I will try to recruit mods as things progress.
It's always going to start off slow, but it seems like there is a decent amount of momentum and Reddit seemed to do a great job at pushing it.
