I tried communites.win and squiggles and some other stuff but they felt like reddit clones. This feels like its own platform and it feels like the future.

I've been hearing a lot of buzz about Threads...
No, I'm here to stay I think. Reddit was the only social media I used, and this fills the need perfectly, in fact, in a lot of ways, better.
Im good here.
Yeah, aside from the porn. The lemmy porn scene just isn't here yet. Also lemmy nsfw just moved servers to Ukraine where porn is illegal, so who knows?

No plans on going anywhere else, sticking with Lemmy.
As of right now, I'm using Lemmy and just getting the feel for it. I think once some of the other larger 3rd party apps start getting released for Lemmy (Sync, Boost, etc.), it'll drive more people to creating an account and creating more communities. When compared to reddit, it's quite dead at the moment, but that can change once people start creating communities and participating. Time will tell if this is the "next reddit" or just the transitional phase.
I joined multiple to have many feeds
I think in my (limited) experience so far, kbin has the features/layout I prefer--but there's "nobody" over there. The community I set up over here is slowly gathering followers--the kbin one is not.
Yeah, I'm pretty happy here. It's nice and close knit and not full of shit. Kbin also seems cool but needs a bit more time in the oven and an app to really be useful to me.
Yeah I think I like it here, it's different, but that isnt a bad thing. Also no idea where else to go. All other social media is off putting.
I found Tildes appealing and will probably join at some point, especially since the RIF dev is pivoting to making an app for that platform. I like their design philosophy better than the Fediverse, but the Feds are here, now and I already feel hooked in. I can't see abandoning that even after adopting Tildes.
give it time and dedication. it will grow if we want it to.
I'll check out Tildes if given an invite or it opens up. But I'm content here given it's where more people went and I seek conversation which is easier to have when there are more people on a thing.
