Is anyone else beginning to mourn reddit? (lemmy.ml)

I've never been sentimental about a social media site but it's sad for me to see reddit so clearly killing itself. Pushshift is already banned and Apollo is soon to follow. Reddit will either pivot fully to a mainstream audience or die out. It's just sad for me to see it doing it to itself.

I'm going to miss the Star Trek sub but I am hoping the Lemmy one will pick up.

Overall, Reddit has suffered over the years allowing blatant right wing build ups to take root. My old local sub was seeing dog whistles pop up and general quality of the sub sufferes, even more so when the local football people came over and brought their 'banter' with them along with shit posts. The mods didn't really do anything to guide the quality of the sub and I left it last year. Today I deleted my account. No regrets.

Im hoping we get a lot more instances for various niches. Id love ones for particular niche fandoms, like Metroidvanias, or PC gaming, or particular entertainment genres, or animal gifs, that break down into further communities. For example, an pop-nerdy entertainment one could have c/startrek, c/marvel, c/starwars, etc, and only focus on that kind of content.

I dont think one particular instance like Beehaw should have anything more than what the default subs do on reddit
