Yeah!

yes

Almost certainly. I just signed up to pay $5/mo through Patreon for .worlds. I'm happy to pay and not SEE ANY GD!#)$$U@) ADVERTISING!! I mean that alone... lol

Communities are filling up, that's what matters. Code works fine. The android Jerboa app (only one I could find; is there another?) won't run on my Pixel 6 Pro but I'm fine with the web interface.

I'm gently suggesting in the subreddits I inhabit that it's time to move, here. My usage there dropped a lot with the shenanigans there; I suspect it will never return to its former self. Fine by me. Everything is a TAZ; gotta stay flexible.

The culture matters, not the platform.

If it gets better ( and I hope it does). I cannot tolerate using reddit's official app, but my experience on lemmy has been buggy and slow so far. Also my favorite subreddit has no sign of migrating yet.

I don’t think so, for the moment at least.

Why? Because it’s me! Hi! I’m the lazy casual Reddit user you guys have mentioned a couple of times!

I have basically only come here because I smell blood in the water, and I’m really annoyed by some of my favorite subs still being privated. But at the same time I recognize that what that sack of human waste at the head of Reddit is doing rn is enforcing a dictatorship.

This site for now is, at least compared to many other mainstream social networks, very rough and unintuitive. And this really doesn’t help to grow the number of potential users, considering the overwhelming majority of people using social network nowadays is 10 times even more casual than I am

But, there’s a butt. This change from Reddit to the Fediverse is necessary. Maybe not now or in six months, but I can already see myself relieved in the future because I had already started dipping my toes in other sites.

Also while I’m not an expert I recognize the technical advantages offered by the Fediverse compared to Reddit, all thanks to a devoted and positive community.

Time will tell, but for now I’ll openly admit to play both sides

Yes

Where would I go?

Just tried it for a few hours. Seems good, similar to reddit. But yeah, the fediverse part is confusing.

Some issues I have so far are, (1) when searching for communities, it seems that they are fragmented throughout the fediverse, whereas in reddit they are in one place. which makes it kinda odd and well (2) it's kinda small-knit. which I guess is good but feels odd coming from a large site to a small one.

Still, I'm gonna give it a try. to me its something new but similar :)

Yes for sure if it gets more usage. I love the concept of Lemmy, but for now it's just a bit too quiet.

Yes!

Yes

For sure. I even started my own instance for some friends and myself. I like it a lot.

Federation doesn't work well tho. We are only seeing a fraction of the posts and comments from remote communities. Also, posts and comments made to remote communities doesn't seem to get through. These are the main issues I have with it right now.

Yes. Short answer, reddit has gone stale.

Yes, absolutely. The community over here is 110% better than reddit ever was.

I actually much prefer lemmy. But unlike most, I'd much prefer it not become a reddit clone. Once there is too many people it becomes a search engine, a long line of puns and hot takes. Just my 2 cents. I prefer engaging discussion over content. The content is just there to get the ball rolling. Either way, I'm perfectly happy with lemmy in whatever it evolves into and I'm glad I'm here with everyone, and I'm really enjoying this early stage. I have always much preferred small communities in my own life. This is the only sm I use rn.

Also unlike most I actually really enjoy the home brew vibe. Having to struggle and work around bugs and stuff is kinda fun. Lol

Yes. Even if it dies, I'm done with Reddit.

I will stay, just have to figure out more how it actually works.

I will if a few things happen...

A solid app on Android/iOS to rival Boost, RIF, and Apollo.

Growing communities.

Definitely! Immediately before switching to Lemmy I found myself scrolling looking for something interesting, meanwhile everything on Lemmy is fresh and exciting. Loving it so far!

I'm loving Lemmy and planning to stay, it's been cool seeing so many new communities pop up and grow every day.

Yes I'd be an idiot to go back to a closed system under corporate control. Its not the first time this has happened and it won't be the last. We are seeing the web closing up now and if we don't vote with our choices and content we will only be left with corporate walled silos with paid subscriptions to read, ads to watch, tracking on everything.... Skip and few steps and we and up with black mirror.

The narrative needs to be democratic. Same thing with privacy , if youbcant have a private conversation you can't bring about change. I hope you'll all stay too

Yes! Lemmy keeps getting better and better everyday. Im loving it!

I’m liking it, especially with this WefWef web app thing for iOS. Staying because I’m not going back to Reddit

First comment here, but yes. Reddit has shown zero interesting in responding to community feedback about the API changes and u/spez is a complete waste of oxygen.

YES

Absolutely. I'm on a few instances with different moods/themes, and I toggle between them depending on what I am interested in at the moment (sciences, programming and tech, ...).

It has already entirely replaced Reddit for me. It's much nicer here.

yes. reddit was a little bit of a bad habit for me, lemmy is a reddit-like fix where i’m more comfortable contributing rather than lurking.

That is the goal, yes. One thing I've noticed is that the relative scarcity of posts here, especially news, has me frequenting a lot of news sites directly. Which I think is a good thing. Of course, one can't expect Lemmy to rival Reddit's content and engagement from the get go. We'll see where the platform is headed in the future.

Time will tell, I like it atm.

Been looking for a viable alternative to reddit for a long time!

Yesss

Too new to rate, but I have to say that I am optimistic. I was early on Digg, early on Reddit and in both cases, had great runs. Fingers crossed - but going to give it the college try.

I think so, but still waiting to see the first shittymorph meme show up on here to cement my position.

YUP

I was ready the last time Reddit got everyone angry.

Yep, running a comment replacement on my 13 year old reddit account this weekend and deleting it.

I'll definitely be sticking around to see what happens with Lemmy. I may end up using kbin primarily but am very much interested in subscribing to Lenny communities across instances. It's been tremendous fun learning about the Fediverse and ActivityPub, and I also think that decentralization is a good response to what we have all witnessed with centralized social media
