The migration of large communities from Reddit to Lemmy is like a world-renowned band performing an acoustic set in a library for 50 people. (lemmy.world)

The fanbase is still large, but the Lemmy community hasn't quite caught up yet, and now there is a transitional period where the audience is smaller.

Lemmy.ml is hosted by the maintainers and Lemmy.world is the biggest instance (because they were one of the few that didn’t restrict sign ups when Reddit API went dark) so those users are going to have the most communities.

Despite this I still am subbed to many communities on beehaw, Lemmy.world, lemmy.ml and sh.it.just.works

And I have some subbed communities on smaller instances.

But I will say that I’m thinking of starting a new community but I’ll probably do it on Lemmy.world as they have the funds and manpower to guarantee uptime
