I'm ready to step away from Reddit. I know you can encounter toxic behavior on other platforms too, but I'm just exhausted by the level of negativity there. So, I have two questions for those who have fully transitioned — What prompted your decision to leave? And were you able to get others to join you on Lemmy?

I left during the blackout. I occasionally mention it if I'm taking about a post or article, but haven't tried to get anyone to join. I'm pretty ok that there are just a few million of us.

That’s a great way to put it. I can probably find a community here if I tried hard enough.

Post on the general communities and if it takes off, consider a separate community. It's sort of like being out in the world and finding people with common interests.
