For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

Reddit peaked like eight or ten years ago. I am so ready for this. I have been doing everything in my power (completely ineffectively) to get the people and communities I care about to bridge to a libre network.
Great, that’s exactly what we should do! Every single one of us can chance the future of Lemmy. At Reddit you were on of millions, it really didn’t matter what you did or didn’t do.
Without the people, specific people, a social platform is useless. I’m hoping that some of my communities will try to get a foothold elsewhere.
Reddit was not monolithic. There were communities within Reddit, and communities within communities. If you felt you didn’t have influence in your community, that wasn’t necessarily Reddit’s fault, and Lemmy won’t necessarily fix that. It’s genuinely hard to build a healthy community from nothing.
