Same, plus curiosity and enthusiasm for FOSS. Can't wait until fediverse is developed enough to host also niche communities like 'cassette_futurism' or 'liminal_space'.
Be the change you want to see :)
Even just creating those communities, then populating them with a few of the top posts from reddit, would be a good start.
Might as well ask here since it's relevant, but I've been thinking of spinning up a beefy lemmy instance and "mirroring" some of my favourite reddit subs across into custom mirror communities. A kind of archive but which you can browse from any lemmy UI. For example, there are some news and sports threads I enjoy following. Would this be a good or bad idea? Would it needlessly flood the other instances?
Thought about the same thing. How and can it be automated? Would give Lemmy a good starting point.
Obviously coded for a different political reason than what I have in mind (to put it mildly), but I found this which might help: https://github.com/rileynull/RedditLemmyImporter
