The thing I like most about the fediverse, unlike reddit, is that people are genuinely posting things they care about or like, rather than posting to be a karma whore. I can't tell you how many times I've posted in reddit and it instantly gets stolen and used in another sub simply to get easy karma. It's refreshing to not have that here. That's all. Thanks!

I understand what you mean, but I followed mostly selfhosting, emulation and handheld subreddits, I barely ever browsed r/all to begin with, and I still feel my feed wasn't full of karma whores.

When I truly believe Lemmy content has more quality so far compared with Reddit it still miss lots of topics that interest me.

Can relate. Bring em here then! Nobody keeps you from making your favorite sub on lemmy! Brave new world! :)

@Haui I generally agree with that sentiment, but r/emulation in particular had a great mod team that culled out the ton of low efforf posts like "I downloaded a Pokémon ROMs how do I make it work" and "some emulator just released a new version, here's my 'video showcase' that barely mentions the emulator in question. Don't forget to like and subscribe!" and so on.

Can absolutely relate. Hit them up and ask them to move over or ask if you can make a mirror here and if they wanna help you. It’s kind of hard to not make that work honestly.

Making the sub is easy, it’s getting people to use it that’s hard.

I mean, I guess it can be hard but you can always ask for help. Having no experience and not asking is saying something as well. :)
