This seems like as good a thread as any to make my first post in as a Lemmy user. I've been on Reddit since '09, and was on slashdot back in the 90's. I really am hoping that these new, federated services take off. Onboarding still seems like the biggest hurdle.

Woo hoo, me too. Was there for the rise and fall of each (and Digg). Also - I think its up to us to go back and encourage users from all our niche communities to come on board to these other places. I know a lot of them won't at least not right away. But we can encourage it.
