Lemmy should not try to be a carbon copy of a 20 year-old VC-funded for-profit site with hundreds of millions of users. Lemmy should establish its own identity and play to its strengths.
With the BotDefense team leaving Reddit due to increasing hostility, it sure would be nice if they could find a new home in the Fediverse.
Do you mean in terms of finding communities?
Break the ice, make a post. It’s not so bad 😜
If you’re looking for a community and it doesn’t exist, click “Create Community” and build it!
It’s ok to say hello 😀
Worked out ok this time 😀
That's awesome! 😀 Hello and welcome!
What are some of your favorite communities?

what sort of stuff are you interested in? what communities have you found that you like and what's missing?
don't be shy, it's ok to say hi 👋

Absolutely, participate! If Reddit was a huge megalopolis then Lemmy is still a small town. We're here so early that we have the opportunity to shape how things develop.
a.k.a. the 90–9–1 principle. Does the Fediverse follow this rule, or are there more creators here as early adopters? Are you a creator, a participator or a lurker?
