Yeah I feel I have to do the same. I also created a community for my niche hobby and I found I have to be a bit more of a poster than I used to be, even if it means that for now the magazine is mostly me and pics of my garden.

I thought r/nottheonion had made the jump to the fediverse

I’m the opposite : I eat maggots without any issues but the crickets weird me out.

It seems the crux of the issue is that current technology uses pharma-grade growing medium, which is very expensive and has a bigger footprint, and the hope is that scientists can figure out a “food-grade” medium that would have lower emissions. Since costs are also affected, I’m sure companies have a lot of incentive to look for a more efficient way.

The technology is still relatively young, so I’m on the board of “wait and see”.

I, for one, am looking forward to the zombie apocalypse that will result from this.

Recent developments are just another indication of the power struggle happening between Reddit and its most dedicated users. Reddit needs free content and moderation to exist, yet it doesn’t want to give those critical players real control of site policies, even though they are largely responsible for much of the site’s content and value.

Finally an article that goes a little further in details about how important good mods are for reddit.

Meta is just a shell of its former self these days. I went back a few times recently and I shit you not : 3 out of 4 posts on my feed are sponsored or suggested content. Almost nothing of my friends, it’s just full of garbage people are trying to sell, or clickbait videos.

Personally I was getting a bit tired of not having one of my interests here so I created the magazine for it. We’ll just see if it takes off.
For some other niche interests…I’ll wait and see, I don’t feel invested enough to create the magazines for them.

Yeah, I first took a look at lemmy and others a few weeks ago, when everyone was asking “what’s an alternative?” and at the time, despite so many people talking about the fediverse, there weren’t that many people or threads. And now look how active some communities are becoming!
