How many users here do you think are going to get bored and end up back on Reddit as soon as the blackout ends? (lemmy.world)

I don't mean to be pessimistic, bit since most subreddits are only going dark for a couple days, the site will basically be back to normal soon. I wonder how many users here are only here because of temporary outrage and not because they actually prefer Lemmy. I'm curious about people's outlook on this situation.

I usually scrolled my subreddits, but the things I absolutely sought out on reddit were the wrestling sub and subs devoted to the toy lines I collect. There are discords for those things, but I hope to stumble across something here sooner than later.

There's nothing stopping you from creating such community yourself and if you don't want to mod it, you can always ask somebody to mod it for you or transfer the ownership to later ;) We also have newcommunities community where you could post it for better visibility (but please read the sticky there about how to cross-link between the instances).

Have fun! ;)

I’ve tried but I keep getting a “match the requested format” on the name part. I’ve googled but so far no help. Any tips?

N/m, I got it and started a gijoe community. Thanks for the push!

SquaredCircle refugee as well here. I don't have cable or Fite so SC was my way to keep up between PLEs and AEW PPVs I had to find online.
