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

I found Tildes appealing and will probably join at some point, especially since the RIF dev is pivoting to making an app for that platform. I like their design philosophy better than the Fediverse, but the Feds are here, now and I already feel hooked in. I can't see abandoning that even after adopting Tildes.

Yeah, aside from the porn. The lemmy porn scene just isn't here yet. Also lemmy nsfw just moved servers to Ukraine where porn is illegal, so who knows?

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I've signed up on tildes.net as well

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I like it here. I'm waiting for better apps/UI though

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

So far I'm happy with it. There is less mindless content to scroll but the quality of content is much better.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

give it time and dedication. it will grow if we want it to.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yeah, in for the long 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.

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