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 am also using raddle.me and squabbles.io. both look promising and slightly less confusing than Lemmy with their instances.

give it time and dedication. it will grow if we want it to.

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.

I think the only thing Lemmy is missing is scale now. Appears there is adequate dev support currently and every day I'm finding another community I followed on reddit popping up here

And I love the idea of not having one controlling entity for the platform to answer to. This is going to create some problems that will have to be addressed eventually but for now I feel like this is us taking back what the internet should be.

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.

I've signed up on tildes.net as well

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

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

To be honest, I'm just trying to cut down on social media in general. If I could limit my usage to no more than half an hour a day, I would be set.

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

It's certainly slower and the professional communities I was part of are gone but.... I only viewed reddit from mobile and fuck that app sucks.

I’m pretty comfy here.

Yeah, aside from the porn. The lemmy porn scene just isn't here yet. Also lemmy nsfw just moved servers to Ukraine where porn is illegal, so who knows?

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.

THE for me

You assume I think

I'm not sure what else there is besides, like quora.

I think I generally federated my time reading and discussing stuff online more. What I mean: instead of spending 90% of my time only on Reddit I use more sites and services but spend less time on each one of it. Lemmy is definitely what replaced Reddit the most but as of right now there just is not as much stuff on here and not as many niche communities as there are/were on Reddit. But in combination with /Kbin, Twitter, Mastodon and some other sites with topics of interest for me, I can pretty much read about anything I like without going on Reddit at all (okay, I checked Reddit probably ten times since the protests started.)

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.

Not to me. As the community is smaller, my exposure is larger. I had no voice on Reddit or any community.
