    Meh, I had just got asylum coming from reddit, had barely unpacked.

    Having learned the volatility of instances, I’ve signed up to a couple of other instances and subscribed to the same communities.

    I don’t care for hoarding internet points - if I did, I’d have stayed in reddit as a karma hostage - so I don’t mind switching instances.

    Maybe that’s a healthy aspect of lemmy; accumulated points matter less when they are more ephemeral.

      Indeed. Karma was simply gamification. It made conversations superficial.

      I dont care about the points, but man finding what I was subbed has been a pain, and actively maintaining and subscribing in parallel to the same communities would be kind of tiring as a safe measure, I will probably just take screenshots of my subbed communities from now on
