Yes, I'm also music directing! I really enjoy doing that. I actually wanted to make m/MusicDirectors and m/TheatreKeyboardists, but the community for both of them on Reddit is already so tiny I figured I'd be the only user of them at all on the Fediverse. I also private messaged the owner of r/MusicDirectors and the owner of r/TheatreKeyboardists on Reddit about possibly migrating to the Fediverse and neither of them ever got back to me :(

I hadn't even realised that those two subreddits existed! I know what you mean though - /r/musicals and /r/broadway both have around 100,000 users (give or take, and with a lot of overlap no doubt) but only a tiny fraction of those are currently in the fediverse. It'll take time for the ecosystem to become large enough to sustain smaller groups.

Time, and maybe even more dramatic actions that alienate the reddit community. A lot of people compared the recent influx of people to lemmy/kbin to the great digg exodus back in 2010, where a lot of people (myself included) jumped over to reddit. But the controversy around 3rd party reddit apps, major though it was, just didn't have the same level of impact. The key difference I think was that the changes to digg impacted everyone, but the changes to reddit affected only those people using 3rd party apps, which are only a small fraction of the total reddit user base.

Honestly, I didn’t care about the loss of 3rd party apps. My experience on the official Reddit app was always smooth. What I didn’t like was the way Reddit treated the protesting subreddits, mods, and users; and how blind users were going to be affected by the loss of 3rd party apps. I know Reddit said something about how they would work on accessibility features and leave 3rd party apps open if they were accessibility-focused. Here’s the reply to that on archive.org.
