I felt kind of lost when looking for a Reddit alternative. Lemmy feels like the right alternative. It's not perfect but it's a better base than what we had with Reddit. I hope it picks up.
Yeah, I like Lemmy's organisation, but it lacks people. Now when Reddit is shitting om its users, I am hopeful that Lemmy will explode in user base soon.
@President_Pyrus @SmugBedBug It is not necessary that everyone who uses #Lemmy has to be a Lemmy user. Thanks to the #Fediverse , everyone from Mastodon, Misskey, etc. can also participate in Lemmy content (also post in communities, just don't create your own communities). For example, I am currently replying from Friendica. The circle of people is much, much larger, so it's not a problem if Lemmy lacks people.

And I am reading your exchange and replying from Mastodon ;)
And I'm here from kbin. The beauty of the Fediverse!
I still have a lot to learn from the fediverse. I didn't even know that that was possible. My mind is a little blown at the moment. Gonna have to go do some reading.
