I think so! I have been enjoying it quite a bit so far, and I am hopeful that it will only get better.

I think I've figured out Lemmy and this Fediverse thing. So with that, I'll be sticking around.

I'm trying to but honestly its got so many problems.

• I often see random post appear on top because I'm guessing its a web socket connection and a recently post top decks due to the algorithm. It sometimes causes me to click on the wrong post.

• On the topic of wrong posts I often click on a post and get a different post than the one selected as though there is conflicting Id's.

• The back button is stopped by a dirty wisywig but it does not trigger an alert for loss of information so its effectively just disabled if your abandoning the post.

• The votes seems to randomly fluctuate.

• having to confirm a reply as read is super annoying.

• When I come to lemmy I have to change to top day or something otherwise I see the same posts over and over and there seems to be no way to set a different default

I will say that I am a software developer and happy to help fix some of these issues. At the moment because of federation I am unsure where to contribute but I definitely see no path forward for lemmy while these issues persist.

Leaving Reddit for sure. Lemmy is top candidate right now.

Haven't looked back. Im staying.

Absolutely! This place is fantastic!

yes

Hell yeah. I’m happy with Lenny so far and I think this will be a better Reddit in the future.

Yea sure, if more people come and post more interesting content, then sure. I'm mostly a lurker, as I'm sure a lot of people are, so if the non-lurkers are posting content, then yeah, I'll stay.

Yes!

I'm perusing reddit occasionally, I dunno, out of habit, but also curiosity as to how this all plays out. But the magic is gone there, and wow, growing here very quickly. I'm here to stay, on lemmy.world or wherever in the fediverse. I'm on a mastodon instance but it's kinda sleepy, but hanging in there.

I used BBSs in the early 80s, even dialed into Ward & Randy's BBS in Chicago with an acoustic coupler modem... 300 bits/sec. Fedi stuff is more akin to that than the overly-managed corporate shit.

"Federation" instantly made sense to me. I feel sorry for (lol) younger people who've only known corporate, centralized, soc media stuff.

I suspect things are gonna get messy; communities are, or will be, hard to find, scattered, the activityPub relationships can be very complex, you can't really tell who sees yout posts, or what's included in a thread... the code isn't there. But it will get there.

Fuck corporate seamlessness. I'll take the anarchic chaos of user written code and organic change. The idea that we can, or even that we "should", be able to "see everything" is a dumb 20th century idea. The world is a huge and complicated place, us dumb little organisms can't even understand everthing that goes on in our physically local neighborhood. How could we? What a delusion.

There's always more to seek and see. It's fkn great.

Yee

Yea, I'm here to stay and help it grow. Reddit even before all this BS just felt...icky sometimes. Lemmy doesn't, and I'm loving the passionate people that are moving here.

It depends on the tech. I'm not convinced this form of federation is going to work. There's already a lot of tech issues being exposed and drama unfolding between the instances.

I also don't think it will see wide public adoption due to how segmented the communities are.

I hope these issues are resolved, and I'll try to stick it out here. I quit Twitter and am trying Mastodon and I'll do the same with reddit. I'm not willing to just sit by and watch corporations take over our society.

the Voyager PWA is a big part of why I'm staying. Good UX!

I'm a filthy casual, and I think I'll be staying. I might try out Kbin when they get a mobile app, because I'd like to be able to follow mastodon and the fediverse versions of reddit from the same app. But I love it here so far. There are a few subs I really miss (witches vs the patriarchy, some science subs, and a whole bunch of academic and religious subs), but I'm fairly confident that most of those will make their way here eventually. If not en mass, then a trickle of like minded folks.

I'm on every website known to mankind, a world record I wish to keep, so yes.

I've been around Lemmy for under a week so far. This feels enough like Reddit (more than Kbin) and...seems(?) to have more activity than Kbin so I deleted my account there and decided to stay here. I've already created a bit of content here to grow this place! ❤

I hope I'll see more communities arrive here what are not yet here but in Reddit 👀

So far, so good. Keep the bigotry and fascists in check and I'll stick around. I tried to make a community (a page for my band) just now and it just loads and loads when I hit submit. Anyone else had that problem? I turned off all my ad blockers. The issue persists.

edit: I was able to make a community today. Check out !jambands if you're into that kind of thing! :)

edit2: 12/13/23 Lemmy has lots of bigots and incels now.

edit3: 2/14/24 Lemmy now seems to have bigot and incels mods running many "front page" communities.

I've used my lemmy.ml account periodically since 2020, so... yes. And my interaction has only increased since the Reddit issues.

Just joined. So far it looks good, hopefully the communities grow

Yes! Been a pleasant experience here.

Yes, as long as Lemmy gets over its growing pains. Regardless, I won't be going back to Reddit unless they actually listen to their users (but they won't).

I appreciate what Lemmy has to offer, as long as there is content to consume here I will stay. Im not going back to reddit regardless. It was rough tearing that bandaid off, but im over the pain now... Im hoping that an app can develop some qol features that make it a better experience. But as i stated, when it comes to reddit, im done.

Yes! Like what others said, it is exciting to hop off the bot-ridden site that all the major platforms have become.

Once Boost stops working I'd like to not go back to Reddit, I'm hoping this place takes off with the exodus.

If it doesn't then... Oh no

Back to Digg?

I like it here! That being said there are a few subreddits I'd miss if I quit reddit completely. I'll probably use both for a while.

Heard about Lemmy maybe in 2019 (when it launched?) when I was looking for FOSS alternatives to everything I use, including Reddit. Never got around to trying it, but this looks good so far. Stripped of the Reddit nonsense. The main informational subs I use have started migrating the Reddit wikis. I was planning on leaving Reddit anyway when it IPO'd. This is the first step.

I see no reason not to. I feel a little stuck to Reddit for some subreddits because of the years of content and answers. The SkyrimMods subreddit, for example, has so much information on old mods and fixes to problems that are extremely hard to find otherwise.

Overall though, I think I’ll spend more and more time on Lemmy / Kbin (still undecided on which I like better overall, but that’s the fun, right?) than I will on Reddit.

Yes.

I'll stay, I'm convinced this will help feddie communities, including also kbin or Mastodon as an example, to expand. I just see the problem of: where did my community go? do I need to register into 5 services? Something that many people are arguing and agreeing on and will soon have a decentralized nice federated community, no matter the name or the server you use (long-term for exodus from Reddit and others). I won't blame on this, is difficult to take these decisions in such a short time, days.

Yes. Reddit was a time suck but a community to enjoy. I can do that here

yes

Yes. It scratches the itch enough.

yes!

I'll stay, I refuse to use reddits official app.

Only downside is Istiill use Reddit to follow updates on Ukraine.
