I am struggling with finding a space for the majority of my communities of interest over here. I curated such a niche homepage over my decade on Reddit that it does not compare being here. But the apps I have found that simulate my experience on my now defunct third party Reddit apps have kept me here, in the hopes that enough folks will migrate over so that communities will grow in the same way they did on Reddit.

I know Rome wasn’t built in a day, and I’m stubborn enough in my refusal to use the official Reddit app, and annoyed enough with old Reddit on mobile, that I will sit here and wait for the same experience I used to get over there.

Same here, and I also hope communities will grow as more and more people move to the Fediverse. Basically it's the niche parts of reddit that I'm missing but I've managed to stay away from it for the most part. I think we need to make sure to generate some content in the communities we are interested, being lurkers won't help Lemmy grow.
