I think the answers you will get from users who are on lemmy will tend to be positive 😁
Our voluntary survey shows that 95% of people who participated in it don’t mind participating in surveys.
I don’t know sir or madam; my wife will suggest food she doesn’t want for dinner.
When my wife asks me what I want for dinner, my mind doesn’t go to what I want to eat, it goes to what I’m willing to cook.
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.

12k views but probably 10k are bots and the others are too busy scrolling to ever use your knowledge. And then your content is buried on someone else’s platform. I think reddit (and lemmy for that case) are horrible for keeping and spreading useful information and I wonder why people see them as the best alternative.

Because Reddit is overflowing with bots and it’s about to get way worse https://www.reddit.com/r/BotDefense/comments/14riw76/botdefense_is_wrapping_up_operations/

To try and look like real users. Then they sell out upvotes to companies wanting to promote their own posts.

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.
Nothing wrong with lurking but you’re helping get content out there to make it stick so that’s good!
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.
Like it so far, not looking for anything 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.
It seems the the majority agree with you on this hence the up votes but I’m just gonna come out of and say something cuz I’m trying to stop being a lurker. Agreed.
It’s going to be a very slow progression for anything federated to take the lead with specific stuff. reddit just has the knowledge at this point.
Hopefully that knowledge will eventually carry over over to the fediverse. Untill then, I’m gonna need reddit in small doses.
1:1 complete replacement - been very happy with Lemmy and Fediverse so far
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.
I have invite you want ?
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
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.
Interesting indeed. I already saw some of this coming up over [email protected] which has been locked in order to send their userbase to another instance. So yeah, interesting indeed.
edit: grammar
That link also takes me to my phones email
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.
Welcome to what Reddit used to be
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).
Once I got Memmy it was done. It’s everything I wanted without all the extra bullshit.
It’s no longer just a Reddit alternative for me. Lemmy is Lemmy, and I like it. I’m still waiting for the 3rd party apps of Kbin though.
