Happy Lemmyversary!
Nice discussion
Subscribers come to active communities. Feel free to post there too.
I posted to !newcommunities@lemmy.world and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca about !linux@programming.dev
Someone else and I cross posted all of the content from !linux@lemmy.ml to !linux@programming.dev this morning.

You can migrate your subscriptions in the settings (import / export as a JSON file, easier to do on a computer).

Makes sense!
