Yes, lemmy does not work for non-techy stuff. Sometimes I want to look up random stuff like getting the best sim plan for international travel or what are the best apps for tracking weight lifting workouts. That kind of stuff is not available if the mainstream is not here. And thus reddit is unfortunately still needed.
That’s not strictly true, now. I found a good fountain pen community, and a few for knitting and embroidery, among other analog interests. Not everything is here, but the non-tech stuff is starting to trickle in.
I hope so. In the meantime I would love to see a proxy to/from reddit, kind of like how there is bird.makeup for following Twitter people in Mastodon.
I don’t care if the discussion on Lemmy doesn’t go back into reddit. It would make the transition easier anyway.
Someone has (or had?) a bot that would repost threads from popular reddit subs. Always saw them in new but without any comments or upvotes. It didn’t interest me, seemed artificial.
I think Lemmy just needs to keep growing organically for now as instance operators and the code devs figure out the scaling problem.
Yes, sure. But it would be cool if we had “proxy” communities for some of the non-techy stuff that I can subscribe to. Just so I can keep in tabs with updates on my favorite workout app, etc.
And if that proxied community ever transitioned over, they could just take over the community.
That is actually the one I have been using too! But I always keep searching for if there are better ones. Progression would be perfect if they added exercise images, since I am a visual person, and tend to forget how an exercise is done.
Would love to see the developer to move his discussion to Lemmy.

It’ll happen with time, but yeah, reddit has had a decade to have any interest about anything to be posted on their platform

I’ve been looking for one as well. I’ve been using Progression for a few years and it has been decent.
