I haven't looked to the Lemmy equivalent of r/trees yet, but I hope the rate of conversion from effing reddit to there is better than it is here... I really miss the large involvement. Were it not for r/vaporents, I'd have made many costly mistakes when I first discovered the joys of vaping.

I'm thinking there's an inverse relationship between the size of the userbase for a social media platform, and the level of specialization of the communities. The Old Place, having millions of users, had lots of little specialized communities - r/trees, r/vaporents, r/oilpen, r/dynavap, etc.

Here on Lemmy, the userbase is smaller, so there's not enough activity on super-specialized communities, so people hang out in c/trees mostly - less specialized, but more users that way.
