Is there a Lemmy equivalent of "r/bestofredditorupdates"?

What the title said.

Doesn't have the "updates" part, but there is !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world
- Not what I'm looking for unfortunately, but thank you anyway
  The "update" part meant all the posts were long and engaging stories spanning multiple posts condensed to a single post over a period of between a week to a decade potentially.
  
  Don’t think we’ve been around long enough for such things really.

I follow https://lemmit.online/c/bestofredditorupdates It’s updated daily. I understand this is not what it want but I enjoy it.
- This is gonna be the best option for a while. r/bestofredditorupdates only thrives because it pulls from like 10 very large story subs. Lemmy doesn't even have all of the equivalent story communities, much less the content speed.
  
  Besides the fact those editors are Consolidating lengthy multiple posts and relevant Comments. Must feel like a full time job. I barely have time to just read 80% of them.
- Please forgive my ignorance, but how would I go about viewing that in my Lemmy app (boost)? I'm still getting used to everything here
  
  !bestofredditorupdates@lemmit.online

I found a few, none active, but some which could be consolidated or revived.
!bestupdates@lemmy.world (mostly reposts from Reddit)
!bestofuserupdates@lemmy.world (consolidated with the above)
!best_of_post_updates@lemmy.world (should be consolidated with the above)
!bestoflemmyupdates@lemmy.world (Probably the best option, could likely be revived)

This is unfortunately why I don't think the fediverse will thrive: the majority of folks on here are so privacy-focused, that many of them refuse to tell personal stories or antecedents.
It's extremely unfortunate.
- I think the crowd you are describing are just the wave of technological first adopters who usually have these traits.
  As Lemmy becomes more mainstream, the less privacy focused users will grow in numbers and soon you will have more of this type of posts.
  
  I don't know that there ever will be a wave of casual users like Reddit and Digg have. This space is filled with substantially more aggressive people than either of those spaces while simultaneously lacking the community of a range of fields that was the original draw for those sites.
- I've seen quite a few on asklemmy
- Eventually the eternal September will come and this will change
