What was your motivation for seeking out non-mainstream platforms? Why did you choose this platform?

The API. At that point, I deleted my account and created an account here. Unfortunately, at this point I'm debating going back, especially since you need a login to use old.reddit. As much as I want Lemmy to succeed, there just isn't enough here for me. I was on Reddit for the niche interests like Dota, CS, 3D Printing, military hardware, and Virtual Reality, and none of that is really present here. That said, no way am I downloading their official app. All their new UIs are unusable.

    Use redlib if you're going to use reddit, don't give them positive traffic, or worse, your data and content. For example: https://redlib.privadency.com/

    While I totally acknowledge and agree that there are missing niche interests (although I'm pretty sure the 3D printing communities here are popular), the only way they'll grow is if people with niche interests start contributing. More content (especially OC) generally means more people, and more people means more content for you to consume. Be the change, and all that.
