I'm staying here on Lemmy, this platform seems like it has much more promise than Reddit and centralized platforms like Reddit.
Don't get me wrong platforms like squabbles are cool and all but in the end they're not federated and that means they're going to end up meeting very similar if not the same fate as Reddit itself is meeting right now.
Absolutely
Yes, there's already a million users on lemmy.world and plenty of content. The only thing is Lemmy isn't supposed to be one giant instance like lemmy.world, but spread out. Idk if that matters but if it does how would we keep things connected / what would the hierarchy of servers look like if lemmy.world were at the top?
Nope, I will move over to kbin. Happened to check out the devs other stuff on github and did not like the tankie stuff.
Yup. Just need 2FA.
As long as it doesn't devolve into a cesspool of "those types" of people, I'll probably stay around. Discoverability does need to improve, though
Why not? Worst case scenario -- Lord spez snaps it out, tapes himself crying on the floor begging for mercy, plebbit accepts it and Lemmy becomes a plausible alternative.
Yes
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.
It just doesn't seem as busy or to have as much content yet, once it becomes more active I can see myself staying
Yes. Only thing I found really useful on Reddit was consolidated news. Nearly everything else was a time waster. I refuse to use their mobile app so I’m not going anywhere. I’ve been saving so much time not mindlessly scrolling on Reddit.
Yes. Reddit was a time suck but a community to enjoy. I can do that here
Yes.
Yes!
I'll stay, I refuse to use reddits official app.
Only downside is Istiill use Reddit to follow updates on Ukraine.
Yes! Like what others said, it is exciting to hop off the bot-ridden site that all the major platforms have become.
Just joined. So far it looks good, hopefully the communities grow
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.
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.
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 don't think lemmy is ready for primetime. There are many defaults on this that make it seem like a clunky early adopter build of an application.
I'm not planning on leaving... but i'm still struggling to get the same use case here as reddit provides.
Yes! Been a pleasant experience here.
yes
Only time I'm going on Reddit is to steal my old stuff to post here. I like this federated concept better
Yes
I mean no one expects a reddit duplicate overnight. Give it some time.
Yes
Staying, liking it here so far. As others have mentioned, reddit does have a huge base of collective knowledge that I used frequently in the past - and I do miss/resent that.
Hell yeah! I just recently told my friends that I feel Lemmy reached a critical mass where there is enough posts to keep me entertained all the time. I have no reason to return to Reddit
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.
Yes!
Absolutely. I will never use Reddit again out of principle.
Yes. Even if it dies, I'm done with Reddit.
