I haven’t looked to the Lemmy equivalent of r/trees yet, but I hope the rate of conversion from effing reddit to there is better than it is here… I really miss the large involvement. Were it not for r/vaporents, I’d have made many costly mistakes when I first discovered the joys of vaping.

    I’m thinking there’s an inverse relationship between the size of the userbase for a social media platform, and the level of specialization of the communities. The Old Place, having millions of users, had lots of little specialized communities - r/trees, r/vaporents, r/oilpen, r/dynavap, etc.

    Here on Lemmy, the userbase is smaller, so there’s not enough activity on super-specialized communities, so people hang out in c/trees mostly - less specialized, but more users that way.

    I completely agree with you! It’s been hard to watch as the conversion to Lemmy/Fediverse hasn’t been as swift as I had hoped. Reddit really fucked up and I would love to see them tank. Hopefully more and more people will find their way over! I’m just glad to see more and more of my favorites here.

    I did find an iOS app that has changed my Lemmy experience called Memmy. Hope it helps!

    I left vaporents back during the boycott. Now I’m here to dispense knowledge for novice users.

    I actually see a lot of vaporizer posts in the /m/trees group which makes me happy haha

    But yeah I’d love to see more ents on vaporents. Maybe some day!
