This crisis has given Lemmy enough users to be a vibrant, viable alternative with the software and apps undergoing rapid development. This means the next time that reddit tries to pull some shit, there will be somewhere for people to go, unlike this time. Lemmy just wasn't really ready for prime time.

This thread explains the rationale: https://old.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/3sure8/introducing_rpoliticalvideo/

The end result of this was that all videos that had even a slight connection to politics were removed, and the politicalvideo subreddit never took off.

What do you want to use the server for?

Personally I'd prefer to see politics videos allowed. Back in the early days of reddit, r/videos was full of politics videos with lots of engagement. Finally they sent all that to the r/politicalvideo ghetto to die. I always thought that was too bad.

Would love to have a sidebar on the left with all my subscribed communities for easy navigation.

I feel like I'd rather just listen to an audiobook.

Lol I recommend you don't try reading Malazan.

Right, yes, I forgot to mention, we watched My Neighbor Totoro & Kiki's Delivery Service. I should probably try to show her some other ones. Good call!
