I'm genuinely so excited to see some of the more focussed communities blossom on this platform as they have on Reddit over the years. Which are your favourites and which do you think could succeed here?

Yeah, one of the few things I still use reddit for regularly is NHL discussion. (Go Capitals!) I wish we had communities for that here.

The other subreddits I still use regularly are for specific video games. Some of them really have no hope of making it to lemmy, but I think we could probably fit pokemon discussion and trading stuff here.

I expect a large influx of redditors over the next few months, especially when they kill off old.reddit and the 3rd party apps no longer work. So if you create (if it isn't already created) an NHL and Pokemon community here, I'm sure users will find them and they would become active eventually. We are decently early here in my opinion.

I figured it had to be coming, but I haven't heard yet about old.reddit being killed. Is that going to happen at the same time as the third-party apps?

Getting rid of old.reddit is just a guess of mine. They got rid of i.reddit recently which was the old mobile version, so it seems like a logical next move since a lot of the new reddit features don't work on old.reddit.

There's always a chance they keep old.reddit for a long time, but they have no profit incentive to do so
