It is crazy to me how much the lemmy experience has improved since joining here from Reddit a few weeks ago. (sh.itjust.works)

The fediverse isn’t going anywhere, and just getting started!

Yes, very happy so far. I haven’t posted this much even on Reddit.

Definitely has felt like a more welcoming community. Each comment on Reddit I made I had to mentally brace for the inevitable bot and troll replies. Constant fights.

Here I haven't seen much of it. Some people honestly trying to understand my points of view! Very refreshing

Glad you’re here! I was a Reddit 1%’r and left when the3rd party apps were killed off. Wasn’t sure where I was going to go but I knew it wasn’t there.

Ram across a post on arstechnica about this app and the feddiverse, and here I am.

I can tell the paint isn’t even dry yet but damn, I’m happy to be here, too.

I ran across a couple of comments on Ars Technica that mentioned moving to Lemmy. I'd never heard of it before.

What I really like is the fact that the comments are not just the same jokes or the stupid puns over and over again trying to harvest that sweet sweet karma.

It is refreshing to see comments that bring a different perspective or information to the subject.

The community feels way more welcoming and Lemmy and related apps are developing fast.

Let's hope it stays that way as the user base continues to grow 🤞

I was here early June when there was very little activity. I didn't really understand the fediverse, and how instances worked. I remember thinking "this has so much potential!" The average instance had about 4000 users. And now it's exploding. I know many people are going to continue to use Reddit, there's still more users on Reddit then there are on here, there probably always will.

I feel the users that end up on here are smart, informed, fed up, we see past the lies, we are mature and chill as fuck.

The fact Lemmy takes time to learn is a good thing.

I‘m pretty sure that‘s how literally everyone in their respective information bubble feels. Of course we‘re the only ones who are right ;-)
