And which of them are a better alternative than subscribing to a specific community here at lemmy.world?

    It’s also basically the /r/startrek community. One of the earliest to migrate, and migrate wholesale.

    Course I’m not sure how smart each topic having its own instance is going to be. Feels like that just means the mods you knew from Reddit are now admins of their own neighborhood, answerable to no one, and that could be a good thing…but I can see a lot of ways that creates issues in the future.

      Bias is I was a mod, but I figure the people both technically literate enough to host an instance and that actually did leave reddit when push came to shove are the good ones, generally. Most of the shitty mods haven’t left precisely because it would mean giving up what little power they have.

      It is a new way communities can work. Before, it was always an outside entity that ran admin. Now, it can be community led instead.

      Of course, what that actually means and the drama that can come from that is unique to Lemmy.
