I don't understand why people still want to use reddit instead of moving to Lemmy or Kbin (sh.itjust.works)

Most people aren't even thinking of moving to reddit alternatives. Users have a lot of power in this situation. Just move your community to Lemmy or Kbin. It's not that hard.

We're early adopters. Early adopters have a higher tolerance for (and ability to deal with) things like bugs, confusing UI, uncertainty, and probably continual change for the short term.

Not to mention, a lack of content. While it's populating nicely it's still not like Reddit, especially for niche subjects. You definitely have to endure a lot of shouting in the wind situations while this builds up.

Yep. The battletech comunity on reddit is like 45k subscribers and stays active. Kbin's /m/battletech has 56 subscribers. There are 5 threads. It's gonna be quite a while before niche communities actually have any momentum.

Well damn, thanks for talking about it, another community to sub to!

Time to find a Shadowrun one as well.
