Ask Lemmy

Lemme tell you... Yes the platform and ecosystem are only going to get better.

For now this is where I've landed and the community seems to be growing at a steady pace. As long as this place keeps growing and evolving, then I'm here for the long haul.

I feel fine on it so far, I haven't said too much. I just want a platform where I can go, say things without dealing with as many snarky, bad faith, shitposting users that Reddit seems to endorse having itself contaminated with.

If Lemmy can be the exception, in due time, then I will hail it as a true alternative.

For now y’all are stuck with me.

Not to me. As the community is smaller, my exposure is larger. I had no voice on Reddit or any community.

I am also using raddle.me and squabbles.io. both look promising and slightly less confusing than Lemmy with their instances.

Seems like it is for me, I'm also using snapzu, but I seem to be gravitating towards lemmy more.

I think the only thing Lemmy is missing is scale now. Appears there is adequate dev support currently and every day I'm finding another community I followed on reddit popping up here

And I love the idea of not having one controlling entity for the platform to answer to. This is going to create some problems that will have to be addressed eventually but for now I feel like this is us taking back what the internet should be.

I’m using Lemmy and Spyke, both are pretty good although Spyke is rather inactive.

Yes here to stay now. With Memmy in the iOS App Store. It’s finally an easier transition.

To be honest, I'm just trying to cut down on social media in general. If I could limit my usage to no more than half an hour a day, I would be set.

I'm loving the fediverse so far, lemmy has been a breath of fresh air compared to reddit. Definitely not going anywhere!

I’m pretty comfy here.

I'm not sure what else there is besides, like quora.

The only social media i would move to is Mastodon.

So far, yes, but I don't really have any allegiances to this site and will jump ship to a competitor in a heartbeat if something better comes along. I know some people like the decentralized federation approach here, but I actually see that as the biggest downside to using this site. The value proposition of Reddit in its heyday was that it offered a single landing point for all sorts of discussions that used to be scattered across hundreds of different forums. The decentralized federation approach moves away from that, and while that offers some advantages, it also comes with a lot of disadvantages too.

I much prefer Kbin, mainly because of the interface, the quality of the feed, and microblog feature
