+1 for the new community idea. I would definitely followi it. I remember when occupy was happening there was organising via reddit. It may have just been lots of pizzas being ordered, but it did seem like a legitimate community.

I was always wary about reddit being a non-opensource/non-federated platform. But the communities there were incredible. I remember when it really was like the ‘front page of the internet’. But I could not believe the user unfriendly decisions they made, and the app ban was the death-knell.

Besides, Lemmy is awesome! Not much need to go back.
