I am here. I managed to not return to Reddit, and now would only go there to look up something specific, and not as a signed up member. I make do with Lemmy. I am hoping it grows too.

Still here

lurking

I log on about one a week. I forgot why I showed up. I replied to replies and then started scrolling.

Goddamn it. I came here do do something. Fuck.

Yep this is the right place. But we are still building it, with only our own efforts. Without data mining nor investors.

Still here. I'm making it work. The very dominant focus on particular topics and views is readily apparent and somewhat lessens the experience compared to the variety I was used to on Reddit, but I don't mind Lemmy's predilections so much as those were areas of interest for me anyway, just not areas that I'd focussed on so heavily, or areas that I had been more interested in in the past and drifted from with age. This makes it kind of nice to kind of reconnect and re-engage with those topics, even if it does make things a little bland overall.

What I'm missing most is the ability to just assume, correctly, that whatever I need information on at that moment will have a sub dedicated to it already and I just need to correctly guess the name of the sub. This was especially handy for technical questions.

Still here. Never went back, but it's so hard not to.

Honestly if the Nuzlocke community had migrated to Lemmy, I'd never go back to Reddit at all. I'm just waiting for Lemmy to develop enough critical mass for those more niche communities to populate.

I think most of them are back on Reddit.

They're all over commenting, posting, and such. I'm one of them, though I mostly lurk. There's plenty of developed/developing communities here on lemmy

Still here, and happy. Most of my communities made the cut. I use social media a bit less often now, which is probably healthier too.

startrek.website is the biggest concentration of them I've seen, but since reddit forced its subreddits to reopen, plenty of people continued visiting there, or, like me, visit both.

I spend significantly less time on reddit, but lemmy is still missing the sheer volume of interaction that reddit offers by mere virtue of its size. I have to search here for episode reaction threads for stuff like Foundation and Trek, because it doesn't usually land on my home page, and though the comments are always thoughtful and worth reading, there are like ten of them total, if that - as opposed to the dozens if not hundreds of reactions on any comparable thread over on reddit.

I hate to say it, but the exodus failed. I'm glad to have discovered Lemmy, but it simply doesn't have anywhere near the numbers to compete.

Reporting in

Still here. All my spent on lemmy is just browsing my subscribed communities by hot and the occasional comment here and there.

I'm here and on Mastodon. I really like Mastodon. (I still have my old twitter account, but have not posted or commented for years. I never really used it anyway. Now I use it to see the occasional newsworthy linked tweet since they require a login now to view anything. I'm purposely ignoring its attempt to rebrand)

I still go to old.reddit and lurk on slow news days. But my feed isn't as robust or interesting as it was before the exodus. It's still good for historical help on certain topic. So I will keep checking it probably.

But to me it looks like Lemmy and Mastodon are getting slow, steady, but high quality growth overall. I think the fediverse in general may be the saving grace of the internet. It looks to me like the "main stream" internet is becoming one voice, much like Clear Channel taking over and homogenizing the eclectic voices of regional radio.

I'm here from reddit

I'm here!

You are disingenuous.

I'm never going back to that cesspool.

Lemmy is super uncomfy for women right now. The women i know are either still on reddit or just gave up on social media altogether.
