Hi, I recently made the switch to Lemmy from Reddit. But r/homekit is one of the communities I miss the most.

What can I do to help build this community up? I’m happy to make posts, comment, and upvote. Is trying to poach people from r/homekit a bad idea?

I would love to get to know everyone better. Here’s some info about my smart home.

• I’m using Apple Home, and my primary hub is a 4K Apple TV 4K Ethernet, which I chose for the Thread radio.
• I’m almost exclusively using Thread devices, and most of those are Matter over Thread.
• Most of my lights are Nanoleaf Essentials (Matter over Thread), and despite people hating Nanoleaf, they have been much better lately.
• For more advanced lighting, I’m using WLED, which is a DIY project for controlling addressable light strips.
• My WLED lights are bridged into HomeKit via Homebridge, though I’ve considered switching to Home Assistant.
• I’m using a Deco mesh router with two nodes, and it’s been amazing for the relatively low cost.
• Outside of Apple Home, I use Ring, which I’ve bridged into Apple via Homebridge. I hate the Ring subscription, but their hardware is solid.

Excited to get to know everyone!
