Ask Lemmy

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

I joined multiple to have many feeds

Yes indeed!

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.

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

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

I’m pretty comfy here.

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.

I've signed up on tildes.net as well

I'm loving the fediverse so far, lemmy has been a breath of fresh air compared to reddit. Definitely not going anywhere!

Personally I'm still not feeling it. My feed is just full of memes and rules posts. All the stuff I blocked in bacon reader. I can't find communities for any of the stuff I was interested in on Reddit.

I won't go back to reddit, but I do miss it.

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.

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

For me yes. I am fairly tech savvy (compared to the general population) and I do worry the barrier to entry of understanding and getting started in participation will prevent a good amount of growth…but hoping when more mainstream apps are released it will be easier for people who just want to open an app and have it work. Eventually it could be more feasible for a typical internet user to open an app, sign up, subscribe and be involved.

Right now it is pretty cool because everyone here has made an effort to join and is passionate about the development of the feddiverse. To a certain point we don’t necessarily want it flooded with Facebook users since it would change drastically…but eventually hopefully it will be widely adopted enough so big celebs and politicians will do amas and it approaches an entity that actually drives competition for the big media companies to be less evil since everyone has the option to just join the feddiverse which we sustain through donations and don’t have to satisfy stockholders, make money etc.

Ironically threads isn't a reddit clone even though the threadiverse exists

It's what I've got for now. I'm no more attached to Lemmy than I was to Reddit for the time being. I clung on to Reddit via Boost just out of convenience but I don't, like, miss it terribly or anything (yet?).

Yeah some of the littler/niche communities I was in are yet to resurface here (from the guilty pleasure Amberlynn Reid drama-watching to the somewhat related anorexia recovery subreddit) but that's to be expected, really.

Yeah, in for the late 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.
