There's a drop in historical content though, a lot of us who will have posted stuff that people would later want to refer to that is no longer there because we wiped it all before going.

I still keep in contact with a couple of people from Gooey (it shut down around 2002 I think), it was an excellent chat platform, you had chat rooms linked to whatever webpage you were on, very good for common interests. We even had a few meetups, I was working contract work at the time and had a 3 month spell were I travelled around the UK visiting various Internet weirdos.
Not so much the classic car sub, that was mostly folks arguing about what defines a classic car, or folks reminiscing about thier first cars.

Yeah, I guess it kinda depends on the size of the subreddit, there's quite a few small low participation ones that would be nice to see brought over to Lemmy, but like OP said, they have no experience of moderating or, like myself, aren't able to dedicate the amount of time needed to moderate a community once it starts to grow. I've already created two such communities that will in their infancy will pretty much be just mirrors of the relevant subreddit.
Have we dated at some point in the past?
