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.

Depends on the content, really.

I really hope this migrating-from-Reddit thing will work. I'd really like to stay.

Yes. Short answer, reddit has gone stale.

I will stay as long as they don't do what Reddit did.

I like Lemmy so far and I'm definitely not installing the Reddit app once RiF is dead, we'll see how things go.

Yes

Lemmy is a game changer for me. First couple of days were confusing, but after adding a slew of communities that resembles my reddit subscription list... I think I'm there.

Now its more of the niche subs that I hope will grow into its own. More specific game communities are needed, because that's more or less the only reason I have to go back to reddit.

wefwef app is amazing so I am staying here

I will stay if you all stay. The site we want is the one with the people. I got sick of talking to bots and seeing ads disguised as social commentary. I would love to have a place to learn and socialize without constantly being bought and sold.

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

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

I'm planning on staying here permanently. I'll go into Reddit just to check subreddit names I've subscribed to and see if there's a Lemmy community for it every now and then, but I'm not going to engage with Reddit more than that.

Yes

Yes

YES

I'm not minding it. The instance (or app itself) seems slow, but overall okay. I'm just hoping the content shifts away from talking about how bad Reddit is and more about providing its own content.

Maybe, if the people stay but it's unlikely I'll go back to reddit

I really like Lemmy as a platform, but I still keep going to Reddit a bit because that's where people are. Particularly local communities haven't been interested in moving.

Definitely staying!

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.

Hundred percent. Was a Digg "refugee" once before and I made the migration, more than likely will be a Reddit refugee making the migration again to Lemmy.

Maybe. Probably will get downvotes but feeerarion needs to be very user friendly and it’s so far real confusing. I’m hopeful, but I also know servers and people’s time cost money.

Blender.org figured out how to build a business case for open source and it’s working very well. I hope the fediverse can figure it out too.

I like the comparisons to email, how I could run my own server, but even today I jsut rely on Google for personal and work. Why? It just works and it’s very easy to use. And cost is affordable for the work side.

What’s going on here is interesting though! ActivityPub is super cool so I want to stay here to learn and keep a pulse on it.

Hell yeah. I was 90% sold until ljdawson confirmed sync for lemmy. I'm going where he's going. Now I'm 110% staying.

All I'm wondering about is who will foot the bill on server costs. How is this site planning to be build more sustainably than reddit?

I will use it but not as my primary. I think Reddit still is where I want to be until the content here increases. I understand we have to create content here for that to happen though so I will continue to use in just to do my part.

Most likely Yes. If I pluck up the courage to start a community or 2 I can't find a replacement for and they get some followers then definitely yes.

Staying here. I run the OSR and Chiptune communities. Can't leave now.

Yes. I never used Reddit that much. About a post per week or so. But I feel much more "at home" on lemmy so actually I already use lemmy more than I ever used Reddit.

I want to, but I think the content still needs some help

Lemmy needs a polling tool... I'm staying regardless 😏

I already love it! I'm really dedicated to giving Lemmy a chance!

With the dumpster fire that is Twitter, and now Reddit, more than ever there's a need for decentralization. At this point, it's not a matter of if, but when a company will turn on itself to make a profit. What made Reddit Reddit, are the communities. While Reddit actually hosts the service, that's pretty much the only contribution to its existence I've seen. I used the webpage when on a PC, but I refused to use the official app. I've decided to bite the bullet and delete my Reddit accounts, because that's the only real way to make a statement, not blacking out subreddits for a few days. They don't care about that. It's just a drop in the ocean. But deleting (user) accounts, that's sending out a clear message. Lemmy continuing to grow and attract content creators, moderators, and posters will make it more vibrant and usefull. So I'm personally here to stay.

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.

That's the plan. I'm strongly invested in leaving Reddit for good.

I do have some concerns regarding the scalability of the Lemmy as a whole though. Seems like sync issues are a frequent problem.
