The landed gentry are only in charge until the king comes to town and chops off a few heads.

I like a lot of the tiny vibe but I miss girl Reddit. It was such a unique social media atmosphere and I haven’t managed to find it here. I hope more of the women from Reddit come here

Took a long time for that to become a thing.

It'll come here though for sure. I think most people are trying to filter into whatever communities exist right now to get a feel of how federation works but once everyone has a decent idea I think you'll see an explosion of communities.

Yeah that’s where I am. Also its important to remember that the apps are nice but very beta, and what we have now are early adopters.

We need the people who care but not that much so we can get the people who don’t care but think this is a better space.

It’s a long and slow process and if lemmy gains steam like we hope the real competition may start pushing centralized communities to quit their bullshit.

I miss GirlGamers, honestly. It was such a refreshing perspective compared to the constantly angry/circlejerky dudebro vibe of 90% of gaming communities

That's the one area that's missing for me as well, there is a general lesbian community that was just started yesterday, sapphics on lemmy.world, yesterday I found it and was like "neat! I need to post to help this grow, errrr... what do I post?"

Are you looking for more girly communities? Maybe consider starting one if you can’t find what you’re looking for.

My girl subreddits are my big miss too. Even my silly pop culture ones. Actually especially those.
