Please stop talking about reddit. If you want this to be the next reddit, I beg of you to stop mentioning it. Otherwise all this placewill be is a temporary hold over until we all just fall back on what we know cause we keep hammering in the name into our brain over and over again. I think the same sort of thing happened with the original “black out” of Twitter but we all came back to it because we kept thinking of Twitter in regards to whatever new site we tried.

This is my first post. I’m still a little confused as how to add more subs. Most of the niche subs I was part of on your unmentionable site had about 10x the user base. Really what’s needed is an app that let’s you amalgamate all of lemmy websites into one, you need a certain number of people on the general subs in order for those small niche communities to thrive.
The best way right now is to go around looking for communities on different instances, and subscribe to them to get a curated feed. In the coming months I expect to see more features.
