unfortunately in my experience reddit still has more niche communities than can be found on lemmy, probably bc they have more users. they have more subreddits for specific games, cities/states, mental illnesses, spiritualities/world mythologies, art, music, and book genres… the number of times I’ve searched for a community on lemmy only for it to not exist makes me hesitant to accept this video’s claim. reddit still has more niches than us. we just don’t have the numbers or activity.
2·1 month agoI wouldn’t say MSN isn’t a source but I see what you mean about the author info at the bottom. Looks like I also missed the part at the top of the MSN link that said it was originally posted at TheDesk, so I guess it is legit. I’d only searched up other sources just to cross-check the original to see if more than one outlet was talking about it and check its validity, so either way yeah it checks out.
msn has that name recognition. never heard of the other people.
It would certainly make me pause until they explained themselves
yeahhh, on second glance… OP’s username leans towards trolling
Yeah I definitely want to see how they respond
welp guess they’re not getting my donation this year
edit: this source looked very sus to me so I had to look up a more reliable one. Seems more legit at the MSN version.
I’m on like 3 different ones, mainly defcon.social. All of them are under 5k users. I use a desktop app called Sengi to show feeds from all my accounts at once and group the federated feeds together, so yeah I can watch lots of posts fly by or scroll through at my leisure.
And yeah I pretty much just watch until I see a post I wanna favorite or boost. That’s why I say it’s the best way to find new accounts you wouldn’t otherwise have thought to check out.
Generally my local and home feeds are much slower. So on mobile, when I’m done catching up on those I keep refreshing the federated. I would be so bored without the federated.
