I'm a nurse and reddit has a nursing subreddit I like to contribute to because they give good advice regarding my job, how to deal with arrogant doctors, bitchy coworkers... they know things a regular user in a generic channel couldn't answer, because they don't know the job.

I think asking in a channel like this for nursing advice doesn't make much sense, because this is not a nursing specific channel.

Something similar happens to my workplace questions: there is an antiwork lemmy, but the one in reddit is much larger and they also have a work community, and so far I haven't found anything like that on lemmy.

Another issue is size: For some problems, like violence in the hospital I need speedy advice and I get that faster when the communities are larger. Reddit is larger.

Simply replying 'we don't monetize' while true and one reason why I turned to lemmy and don't use reddit as much now, is not convincing enough for my particular case.

You're being generous. I'm part of a lot of communities that are clearly not being moderated.

What I meant is that 990 of those 1000 followers don't visit Lemmy anymore you can't expect them to post
