I wish all the subs would move to Lemmy. There are a few off the top of my head that SHOULD be pushed to move sooner: /r/SocialEngineering, /r/HowToHack, /r/MartialArts, /r/Photoshop, and /r/meetup should all be here ASAP.

So should other subs, but those ones are particularly awesome and I wanna get them to come here ASAP.

Obviously, there are thousands of subs that need to move to Lemmy but those are some of my favs that I don't think are here yet.

Also, when will MOST subs be on Lemmy?

I'm impatient. I want the new, up and coming, Reddit alternative with privacy to become popular NOW.

I really don't think Lemmy is an instant replacement for reddit, nor should we expect it to be. (Even if it was to ever replace reddit it will take years)

Communities need to grow organically here and move people over by the content that gets produced, one shouldn't really expect for entire subreddits to move over, it will always be a few people and from there it grows.

Hell take r/piracy for example which I think is one of the most "successful" migrations, some of the main mods created and instance and the same community here on Lemmy, they also promoted it heavily before leaving r/piracy to those that wanted to stay over at reddit. While the piracy community is pretty good and vibrant, it is not yhe same as it was in reddit both in volume and in content produced. I much prefer what it is here since it's a lot less meme focused but the point I'm trying to make is that even if communities migrate here, the content is different, a lot of users that produced content won't immediately come over and 8t will be its own thing.

At that point just making the community again here organically instead of relying on the og mods to vome over will probably have a similar effect.
