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

Like it so far, not looking for anything else.

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

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).

So far I like it and therefore do not look around for alternatives.

I only hope that it will not remain with the first wave of Reddit migrants but will continue in the coming months and years. Currently, it is still very quiet for my taste, but this is also completely normal.

The only thing that worries me a little is the distribution of the communities.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to have the same community (Like a Subreddit) on different servers. This provides for an unnecessary segmentation of the already not large userbase.

So instead of having one big community for a Topic we have many small ones. This is especially a problem at the beginning, when the userbase is still small.

I’m curious to see how this develops over time. Whether the popular communities will agree on one main instance, or whether apps will reduce the problem to the extent that communities with the same names are combined. It will be exciting to see in any case.

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.
