This was actually how the internet was before Reddit as well.

People move and adapt. Reddit wasn't always the shining beacon of communities you think it currently is.

Activity Pub is a clear improvement over Reddit, and separating from Spez's incompetence is a bonus.

    Reddit wasn’t always the shining beacon of communities you think it currently is.

    You are putting words into my mouth that I did not speak nor do I think; I have only pointed out that there are communities on Reddit that do not have a strong presence here whose absence I miss.

    People move and adapt.

    While I hope you are correct in this case, this is not always true. Sometimes good things are simply lost.

    Activity Pub is a clear improvement over Reddit, and separating from Spez’s incompetence is a bonus.

    I agree, which is why I have shifted the vast majority of the time I spent on Reddit here instead.

    Edit: Ah, lovely, a downvote without a reply. Glad to see that the Lemmy community is such a dramatic improvement over the Reddit community. :-)

    Some people want it all and they want it now. No patience to help build a better tomorrow when there's a shitty today they can have.

    That is true of most people. Those aren't the ones that matterfor building something new and will migrate eventually. It's always been a minority of users who do the heavy lifting of establishing thriving communities and those peoplez by definition, are the ones who are willing to roll their sleeves up and do that work on a new platform when the old one stops working for them.
