You're probably more active now because it's a major event and things are changing. Would it be any different if it was some breaking tech news happening that was interesting and Reddit was like before? Maybe you find Lemmy more involving because the content is different than Reddit had been providing.

Correct. A connection with just one isn't going to dump everything from that server to yours, only the content you picked.

That entry says that a recent update should have fixed it, yet it's obviously still happening.

In retrospect that makes sense, the last thing we want is a recursive effort to try and update things all the time.

Would it resort it into the original posted area if it later grabs the metadata, or is the push a one time thing?

I can appreciate that. I would suggest do both - go back to the niche reddits while they work for you, and hopefully things don't get even worse to affect that. Meanwhile, check back to these newer alternatives often to see what's going on. Perhaps at some point you can either have both worlds or even finally transition away. You have to do what works for you in the end.

Redditors made such memes a thing, we're taking them with us where we go.

I had to use "All" to find some of mine even knowing their exact location. Maybe the default should change from Communities if it needs some adjusting before it works.

Good to know. I've been trying to figure out how to get either of them to work, but if they aren't as great as advertised, then I'll stick with plain. I'm here for content anyway.
