It was the first one I knew about and I haven’t had a reason to switch over. I already knew about lemmy long before all of the reddit drama happened, so that was where I went a few days before the blackout. I had never even heard of kbin until after I’d already been on lemmy for a while. Also, rust > php, and calling communities “magazines” is weird.

The trend towards ever thinner and lighter devices is stupid. I would much rather have a thicker laptop if it means I get ethernet, multiple usb-A ports, full-size hdmi/displayport, an sdcard reader, and an optical drive, than something that’s ultra thin and sleek but only has a couple usb-C ports and requires a million dongles.

A lot of these aren’t exactly “niche”, but afaik none of them exist on lemmy yet

Edit: for some reason, a bunch of these that actually do exist weren’t showing up in search unless I specifically searched for “!community@instance”. I’ve gone back through and added links to them here.
