Obviously a few years ago, the API changes caused the reddit community mods to strike, and caused a mass-blackout of most reddit core communities. Eventually Reddit removed a handful of mod teams on some notable subreddits and caused the rest to chicken-out. But it did birth the Fediverse properly.

I suspect Reddit will make another step at some point which causes another comparable exodus. This time, if they do, the Fediverse is far better developed to handle it. What do you imagine it might be?

    To that end, can I post on one knitting instance and that’ll reach all knitting communities on Lemmy?

    Well no, but most users subscribed to one of the knitting communities will probably be subscribed to the others too, so just post to one that has a good subscriber count

    but for knitting specifically, I only see !knitting@lemmy.world anyways
