for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken? (lemmy.world)

For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

Yes, but that means it's going to split communities up between servers. So there won't be a mass exodus like reddit, just a handful of communities at a time (if needed).

Nah, that's where the federation comes in. The tech has a lot of room to grow, but you never have to move to join the "winning" group for a topic - you just have to sub

Moving forward, there's already talk about how/if you should reconcile overly similar groups across servers. It's certainly possible, and discovery is definitely going to improve quickly - the only question is can Lemmy hold onto the new users long enough to get past the growing pains
