It's what I've got for now. I'm no more attached to Lemmy than I was to Reddit for the time being. I clung on to Reddit via Boost just out of convenience but I don't, like, miss it terribly or anything (yet?).
Yeah some of the littler/niche communities I was in are yet to resurface here (from the guilty pleasure Amberlynn Reid drama-watching to the somewhat related anorexia recovery subreddit) but that's to be expected, really.
Ironically threads isn't a reddit clone even though the threadiverse exists
I've signed up on tildes.net as well
Yes indeed!
So far I'm happy with it. There is less mindless content to scroll but the quality of content is much better.
It's certainly slower and the professional communities I was part of are gone but.... I only viewed reddit from mobile and fuck that app sucks.
Personally I'm still not feeling it. My feed is just full of memes and rules posts. All the stuff I blocked in bacon reader. I can't find communities for any of the stuff I was interested in on Reddit.
I won't go back to reddit, but I do miss it.
Lemmy is popular now, I think people will come here. I'm quite satisfied with user engagement but I think squabble has also had good potential but relatively less user engagement.
Yeah, in for the late haul. Once the knowledge base and communities build up a bit it'll be great. It'll take some time.. There's still a lot of good searchable information deep in the subreddits.
Yup.
I think I generally federated my time reading and discussing stuff online more. What I mean: instead of spending 90% of my time only on Reddit I use more sites and services but spend less time on each one of it. Lemmy is definitely what replaced Reddit the most but as of right now there just is not as much stuff on here and not as many niche communities as there are/were on Reddit. But in combination with /Kbin, Twitter, Mastodon and some other sites with topics of interest for me, I can pretty much read about anything I like without going on Reddit at all (okay, I checked Reddit probably ten times since the protests started.)
THE for me
For me yes. I am fairly tech savvy (compared to the general population) and I do worry the barrier to entry of understanding and getting started in participation will prevent a good amount of growth…but hoping when more mainstream apps are released it will be easier for people who just want to open an app and have it work. Eventually it could be more feasible for a typical internet user to open an app, sign up, subscribe and be involved.
Right now it is pretty cool because everyone here has made an effort to join and is passionate about the development of the feddiverse. To a certain point we don’t necessarily want it flooded with Facebook users since it would change drastically…but eventually hopefully it will be widely adopted enough so big celebs and politicians will do amas and it approaches an entity that actually drives competition for the big media companies to be less evil since everyone has the option to just join the feddiverse which we sustain through donations and don’t have to satisfy stockholders, make money etc.
It's a tough hole to fill. Lemmy is neat but still has a lot of growth to do.
just throwing my random input in to the pot. still using Reddit via Boost but also checking into Kbin and some of the Lemmy servers as well via the Connect app for Android. I like Lemmy I just miss how Reddit had "everything in one place" if that makes sense.
I think I'm doing something wrong because I feel like I have to make an account for each server or "instance" I visit and that's annoying.
So far it's been a nice experience once I find "subs" and stuff I like there's just some growing pains I guess. idk man, I'm a lil inebriated atm
I like it but there is sparse activity on most of the Android instances. 😟 Lemmy kind of seems like several of ants scurrying around on a big mound right now. Am a big BoostforReddit fan and am hanging out on Jerboa until their Lemmy app is released.
Pretty hopeful. I'm in the process of setting up a server to try and host a few communities. Should get it online by the end of the month. I figure if as many people as possible just host a few communities (i.e. cherished Reddit subs that aren't here yet) then we can save the major instances the pain of trying to host everything for everyone and take real advantage of building a truly robust decentralised network
