Forgot to add that I don’t want to deal with building a community 😅

Yeah I’m part of the chicken and egg problem we have here but that’s just super hard work for me

It’s community as weird and niche like that that’s hard to find or start and maintain on the threadiverse¹ that I miss from reddit.

¹[Lemmy + piefed + mbin fediverse network]

tbf as a kid I sometimes chew on aluminium foil wrapper of candies (back when they wrap some candies in aluminium) to extract the last dregs of candy. so I kind of can empathize lol

people are willing/able to be open and empathetic

personally, I’ve been bitten too many times being open to random people and getting vitriol back. Well that may be because at the height of my online activities were in reddit, just at the right moment when it started gaining mass traction and getting all sorts of assholes.

being here in lemmy/piefed (can we settle on calling it threadiverse yet?) is of course a nice breath of fresh air.

Yep, I have encountered mastodon and the like posts here on Lemmy etc. Somehow a lot of them show up in !firefox@fedia.io

Well actually being in fedia.io it would makes sense, since fedia being mbin supports threaded posts and microblog posts.

At least threaded comments like on here and reddit is a lot easier to follow than on forum sites.

Although I do look back in warm nostalgia quoting forum posts as I back read 3 pages of them when I got back to a forum topic after 3 days. Hell, sometimes even just a few hours if it’s a hot topic. I wouldn’t dream of doing it nowadays though.
