Unsuprisingly !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !selfhosted@lemmy.world made the transition quite well.

The german communities didn't transition quite as well as i hoped, but the like of !deutschland@feddit.de and !dach@feddit.de still see enough engagement to serve their purpose.

So i guess those are my favorites so far. Simply because they already function quite well.

Beyond that i am more of a Star Wars/Lotr guy, but i am warming up more and more towards Star Trek (liked it before aswell, but didn't dive into it too much). Especially since i enjoy some of the current series (Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks) quite a bit.

You've gotta be kidding? I feel like Germans are the 2nd biggest demographic after Yanks on Lemmy. They seem to be everywhere flaunting their sinister .deusernames. I try to speak to them in Rammstein lyrics only to be ignored.

They're as friendly as a concrete wall and as funny as a dead kitten.

You stopped that quote a few words too early and left out the "as i hoped" part. I guess i simply had unrealistic high hopes that we would collectively move here, but the mods of /r/de opened back up at some point and the majority is still there.

But you are of course right that overall there are quite a few of us here. I guess expanding into a new space that is leaning towards communism is something we have experience with.
