I don’t mean to be pessimistic, bit since most subreddits are only going dark for a couple days, the site will basically be back to normal soon. I wonder how many users here are only here because of temporary outrage and not because they actually prefer Lemmy. I’m curious about people’s outlook on this situation.
I’m sure there will be a huge downtick, but there’s also people like me who heard about Lemmy because of Reddit but this is totally something I’d support. Now that I know it’s here, I have a source for my cat videos and obscure video game recommendations, I don’t really need the activity and tumult of Reddit. I’m sure there are dozens like me. Dozens.
What do you follow for cat videos?
I’m still sorting that out, thus far I have just assumed that there will be cat videos. It’s basically one of the safest assumptions of the internet.
https://beehaw.org/c/animals it’s not strictly cats, but it’s been a pretty good start IMO.
What community is for game recommendations?
I’ve only been here for about an hour, but I’ve found two different patientgamers instances… jury’s still out on which one I like better.
