As long as a few of the niche communities that I care about can hit a critical mass on a lemmy instance somewhere, then I’m happy. Like, photography or endurance sports. I haven’t seen much of those yet, but hopefully we get there soon! Even just a thousand actually-active members is enough!
Unfortunately I’ll probably still use Reddit for their historical data for a while, but not logged in or posting anymore on principal.
