A lot of subs seem to be staying dark (https://lemmy.nz/post/43541), but seems like r/nz will be back at 4pm.

I don’t think I’ll be going back, although not deleting my account just yet.

Anyone planning on heading back there full time? (no judgement!)

    No. I habitually opened RIF so I removed the icon and replaced it with Jerboa, and I’ve found, thanks to the smaller scale, that I move on to something else or read a book sooner.

    Doesn’t take long to move on really.

    I’m hoping the fediverse will take off once it’s easier to find communities to add to favourites. It’d be good to find things like ELI5 and AMA appear.

      Someone has set up an ELI5 over on kbin but there’s no actual content yet in spite of having a few subscribers. I guess it’s a case of ‘be the change you want to see’ at least for now.

        I’m not sure I agree. I’ve subscribed to a couple of communities and there is already some content. Of course not the same amount as Reddit but that’s alright. Lemmy doesn’t have to be the same size as reddit. I like the small scale of Lemmy. People are very friendly. And yes, be the change you want to see, so keep on posting :)

          I’m happy with the rate of growth, it’s just a case of poking around and, as has been said, create the communities that don’t exist. I’m reading and upvoting content, hoping others are doing the same!
