I completely agree. Reddit has shown no indication of backing down. They will just wait for it to finish if the lockdown is as short as ~48 hours. If a major/big sub goes on lockdown indefinitely, they'll open it and replace the mods. I'm pretty sure there are tons of people out there willing to mod a big subreddit like r/videos for one reason or another. The reddit of the digg migration era is gone. It's just corporate reddit now.

I have to agree about many users from a certain group/type of people affected enough by the reddit fiasco are those that are here rn. I'm biased as well, but I appreciate the compliment. Tbh, I'm just going with the flow. I saw a recommendation from reddit and was curious enough to check lemmy out.
But many of the users here (most probably you included) are here because they actually give a crap. Some are pretty active. Some are already starting communities and posting. I'd love to see the fediverse grow but I'm afraid it'll end up like reddit.
For me, the way Fediverse is set up just highlighted the dangers of centralization, at least for social media. It's hard to have all your eggs in a basket controlled by a single entity that has virtually unlimited power to do what it wants with it. Fediverse isn't perfect, but in some aspects it's just better.
It's certainly more about discussion here. I've made mistakes already and no one has criticized me (yet). Just someone responding about why my opinion/statement was wrong in their opinion.
If I did that on reddit I'd probably never check my inbox again lmao. Not saying all reddit subs are like that, but a lot are.
Nvm. I was dumb. Loving the update!
I don't use Mastodon/Twitter so I had no idea. That's definitely reassuring. Thanks!
Or when you comment something and you get a rain of downvotes without even one person saying why they downvoted you.
Yeah, I sometimes have stupid opinions. But how will I know why it's stupid if all y'all do is downvote me? People here are very different and would actually talk to you and explain stuff. This is mainly why I'm much more active here.
Afaik you can't migrate yet. It has been raised, though, but idk more than that. I support migration, tbh.
Jumping ship is the easy part. Now we have to keep this up. Let's make sure this isn't just something that'll disappear in a month or two. Make Fediverse more active than before permanently.
I haven't used mlem. I'm on Android and we have Jerboa. Hopefully an mlem user can answer your question.
On Jerboa we just have to input which instance we want to log into.
Awesome! Gonna install it again.
An app would be very helpful to get more people on kbin.
