Better question: Why are you still on Reddit?
Serious reply.
There are some subs that have content you still cannot get elsewhere.
r/askhistorians is one great example, along with a lot of hobby subs.
I still check these out occasionally via RSS, then open in old.reddit.com to see the comments.
If I could see the comments via RSS, I would.
That’s fair. I hope those subs survive whatever happens next over there.
There are 2 subs that I participate in that haven't migrated. One is for an app, and one is for a device. They are very niche and people need a lot of help with them. As of now, Reddit is the only place to get or offer help.
Fair point. Good luck to those subs surviving Spaz’s next attack on the users. (Not sarcasm. I genuinely hope they continue to serve a purpose.)
I think the main thing holding them back is that people won't be able to find them if they move to Lemmy or something similar. Posts here don't come up in searches like Reddit posts do. The search function in Lemmy also needs a lot of tweaking to be useful for finding help in a community. I'm sure it will get there eventually, but for now they are stuck with Reddit.
