I’m glad to have both.

There are certain times I just need to be with other ML’s but lemmygrad is admittedly small and therefore limited in the amount of discussion a post gets as well as how many topics are posted and it’s nice to have a bigger community even if it’s less laser-aligned with my philosophy on all aspects and at times has a culture I need a breather from for a few minutes despite overall liking it. I enjoy community events like movie nights that you have over there a great deal and I think it’s a very good thing.

The admins as a whole I cannot say. The head admin, the owner is a main lemmy dev and I also know them from reddit where they were consistently a poster with principled, quality effort years before I ever heard of this place or lemmy was really even publicly known at all. So I trust the top admin here quite a bit, if they dipped out the whole lemmyverse would notice and ideologically I trust them to an incredible amount.
