I’m not sure how to make a link to communities so that it works for everyone sorry. But yeah the ! Does indicate a community usually
The rust subreddit is apparently considering moving to Lemmy:
r/programming is private even though I think a lot of the mods were reddit employees, I think even u/spez. what is going on lol
I am on both and kbin seems less active.
Perhaps the numbers are counted different?
lemmy might be counting people who have posted this month and kbin might be counting anyone who has visited the site.
Big respect to all the devs for handling this growth so well.
There was talk of someone populating a Lemmy instance with reddit data.
There is a lot of reddit data on a torrent somewhere aparrently.
https://programming.dev/ is a programming focused server. It has communities for a few different languages. It’s not too popular yet but I hope it will be in the future.
ahhh thank you!
@[email protected] is the creator I believe.

So it is not surprising that new users will get turned off by this and leave (or move to beehaw).
I have been on Lemmy for a couple of years and I am very happy about the influx.
I think Lemmy (and kbin) have a lot of potential and just need more attention from users, mods, developers and other organizations;
