I'm having fun helping build new communities here. I only miss it when I can't find a community with sufficient participation or when I have a specific question that was previously discussed on Reddit. For those cases, I'm willing to still use Reddit.

I don't really understand the difference, I think it's a shame that a Reddit replacement gets split into two camps in the Fediverse. At the very least, they should use the exact same data at the back end and interact with each other seamlessly. In either case, this is what you get in an open protocol. Maybe one or the other will win out in the long run.
