For people that still want to use reddit, why? (lemmy.ml)

For me, the content created by communities that is exclusively available on that site is really helpful to me. If possible I would definitely try and archive a few subreddits and write something to search and access it offline (sorta like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwix but for reddit).

I'm not here because I don't want Reddit, I'm here because I do want Reddit, but it looks like the Reddit Corp is going to break it.

I don't think I'll leave Reddit until it goes to shit, but if mods leave, communities will fall apart and I won't have any reason to be there any more. We'll see what it looks like tomorrow.

Lemmy seems like the most likely to rise up and take Reddit's place, so here I am. My only major complaint is the lack of user base, so I'll stick around for a while and contribute my +1 in the hopes that enough others do the same thing to get the critical mass needed for niche hobby groups to form.
