I like Lemmy for inheriting all of Reddit's positive traits. Tough moderation, bots in the comments, stupid upvote/downvote hells, and many other virtues. I remember how it all started and all the sweet utopian tales of those who shouted "f*ck u/spez" on every corner. You can delete your Reddit account, but you can't delete Reddit from your head.

I think just like most people's experiences. It does what I need it to. We just need people and participation.
I'm waiting to see when things go back to normal in a sense of just regular content and not reddit migration stuff, so far it's not much different, let's see how it goes.
I’m not great at getting to learn new things. Took me ages to get used to Reddit. I didn’t use the third party apps (I only just learnt how to use the Reddit app), but my friend did and it’s shit what Spez did to everyone. So yeah, fuck Reddit. I’m slowly getting used to lemmy. Need to spend more time on it but am enjoying
For an "early adopter" it is amazing so far. I see a lot of potential, more-so with Lemmy than other federated platforms. I thought I would just use Lemmy on mobile to replace Reddit since I refuse to download their app. Instead, it unintentionally replaced Reddit almost entirely for me. Just missing some small niche communities that I can't find anywhere but reddit
I’m loving it but I’m worried about what will happen when an instance goes down and knocks out a significant community.
It's ok. I miss some features like multis, and communities are a lot smaller with less activity.
