  • Absolutely. When I was on Reddit, all the subreddits I joined were very niche: cities, fandoms, parody subs, and the like. The main reason I found them was because I could think of something and go “it’s Reddit, there’s a subreddit for anything”.

    That’s pretty powerful when you’re trying to build a community, since you can skip the “we exist” and “look here to find us” parts of the pitch and spend time and effort on the community itself instead.

    Lemmy/KBin just doesn’t have that appeal yet. Pretty much all the subs here, while by no means bad, are very “general-interest”, and the interface to find them is clunky, especially if they aren’t on your home server.



  • I remember when I was looking for a new laptop, I made a replaceable battery a requirement, since my previous laptop’s battery (which wasn’t replaceable) lost its charge very fast.

    Out of the hundreds of laptops available today, I could only find two or three laptop models total with a replaceable battery. And none of them were in physical stores, so a less tech-minded person would never find them.

    Interestingly, the replaceable battery also seems to be higher quality than the permanent battery was.
