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 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!

    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!
