I think it'll be a race to the bottom.

!bazaar@fosscad.io is pulling from r/gundeals now.

There is no reason folks cant set up a WTB/WTS community themselves on lemmy. The only thing missing is the audience/community

Not great to split a community, but website development takes time. And people want a GAFS replacement now... patience will only last so long.

My bet is they'll come around to lemmy. Especially as a lot of GAFS people are probably also in FOSSCAD and vice versa.

I would support having a few BST community set up, if we convinced a few of the other adjacent hobbies and groups to set up a communtiy with a bot pulling from reddit it would essentially create a back up community for everyone. Some big ones would be r/knife_swap and r/edcexchange
