    some subs are still lively. To be expected, however Lemmy has proven a viable alternative with enough activity to keep me sated, and it’s clearly still growing. Every day a new community pops up that reflects a counterpart on Reddit and the remaining niches are quickly being filled right here.

      And those communities haven’t a fraction of the drama and hostility. Mainly because they’re small and new, but that’s why you move to a new site, anyways.

      The UFC and MMA subs haven’t moved yet despite there being a few communities on lemmy. I still go to reddit for those.

        Lack of care by sports fans is the least surprising. It is after all a group that still pays for cable and puts up with ads after all. They are very addicted to the product.

        It’s the gaming and pc subs that I ended up disappointed by, but then those communities ended up having good growth here without need for Reddit mods pushing migration.

          Do you know of any Lemmy communities that post gaming clips? I see a ton about gaming discussions and gaming news but none with gameplay.

            Game discussions and news was all I followed back on reddit, so hadn’t searched out gameplay clip focused ones. So unaware if that exists on lemmy.
