I think the answers you will get from users who are on lemmy will tend to be positive 😁

I don’t know where else to go.

The best thing about reddit for me was an endless stream of information and news propped up by user discussion. I rarely just scrolled endlessly through posts; I loved delving into comments on posts which didn’t even interest me at face value to see what I could learn from niche communities.

It was, hands down, the best, most information dense landscape I’ve ever seen and frankly I feel a little lost without it. I hope that some day, some where I can find something similar.

Well, true. I may have gotten here though Reddit. But now I’m taken aback by what’s happening here.

I mean, the whole thing is open, FOSS developed, decentralized, being everywhere and at the same time nowhere? Call me crazy, but this in itself is awesome!

On top of that, I was greeted here by a community of communities where people are kind, helpful, full of beautiful and interesting insights.

So why would I be thinking of going somewhere else? I’ve posted more comments here in the past weeks than in the last ten years on Reddit. And I’ve done that because I’m genuinely excited with this setting.

So no, I’m not joining the herd moving to greener pastures. This field is green enough for me.

This is my permanent go to. Community already seems great and I hope it gains more traction. The main difference with the change from Reddit is I’ve gone from lurker to trying to be more engaged and posting.

Like it so far, not looking for anything else.

Unless something happens, I’m sticking with Lemmy. As for interface and everything, I liked kbin more initially, but I feel like Lemmy development is moving much faster, plus all the third-party development at the moment. As I’ve said in the past, I’m going where the people are. And right now, that’s mostly Lemmy - and since it can federate with kbin, picking between the two is kind of a moot point …at least for now.

I’ll check out Tildes if given an invite or it opens up. But I’m content here given it’s where more people went and I seek conversation which is easier to have when there are more people on a thing.

1:1 complete replacement - been very happy with Lemmy and Fediverse so far

It feels like reddit from ten years ago, and has the critical mass to make it interesting to open and browse. I think it’s a success.

I only use reddit now on revanced rif to visit a couple of communities that are too small to be worth replicating here yet

discussed lemmy with a friend the other day, who agreed people need to stop nerding out over how it functions, and just let it do what people are wanting it to do, which is replace reddit.

not to mention, the people discussing it just act like how it functions is a common knowledge that just makes sense.

instances, “federated”, “defederated”, user in one spot can have the same name as a user in another spot. does lemmy interact with kbin, wtf is a kbin.

dont make your acct here, make it somewhere else?

So far it replaced my casual Reddit browsing when I’m bored. But when I want to look at some specific stuff I still need to go to reddit but it’s just to get some information and not really to engage with the community.

Yes. I am used to appolo and wefwef.app is a life saver.

Right now it is. It’s still a bit empty compared to Reddit, but I see it’s slowly getting traction.

I really like it. The community is also really cool. More like a small town feel than a huge city like reddit. I hope I don’t have to move anytime soon.

Nah, more of a Kbin fan, but I also have some other forums/BBS sites I go to (and reddit still because the community around life in Japan and such never got going over here, but only those subreddits and nothing else).
