I think a lot of us are still getting accustomed to Lemmy and finding our flow. For me, personally, the move exposed a bunch of new communities and topics I didn't know / or forgot I was interested in and am now excited to be a part of!
Amen to that! And more engaging conversations so far as well.
Likewise, I'm finding my feed is once again filling with things I am actually interested in. Reddit had drifted slowly towards mindless content but here on Lemmy I feel back in control.
It's basically old reddit. It feels like I just left Digg and I def enjoy it much more. I'd have left back when they changed to new reddit if Lemmy was around.
Lemmy doesn't support videos. That's what I liked about reddit.
How do you find communities here that are analogs of the ones you enjoyed on Reddit? I see big communities here like 196 that is basically the same as the Reddit community, and lemmyshitpost is a new type of meme community - but let’s say I’m interested in math and history. How do I find communities with in depth discussion of those topics?
Thank you! Just starting here myself too.
