It’s a give an take. I do miss some of the communities but at this time lemmy is more intimate. Some of my favorite communities are so big, being a part of the discussion is like pissing in the wind. As an early adopter on lemmy you can help build and participate more readily. Nothing like having a comment on a thread with 1,000 comments and thinking ‘fuck it no one cares.’ Or worse trying to hamstring your comment into the top 6 or 7 threads for visablity alone.
