Like a lot of others, I’ve been looking at Reddit alternatives recently which is what landed me here at Lemmy.

How do you think Lemmy compares to Reddit? But also, for people who have tried other Reddit alternatives than Lemmy, how do they compare? What has been the pros and cons of each community for you?

    Most people have jumped onto lemmy.world instead of spreading out.

    The main reason I chose lemmy.world is because I wanted to set up a community and my account on an instance that seemed less likely to disappear. I suspect that’s the reason for many others as well, though it might end up being a false hope. Who knows…

      I jumped onto BeeHaw when I first left Reddit, but found I couldn’t connect to some communities. It turns out that BeeHaw defederated from some Lemmy instances (like Lemmy.world) because they have more open registration. So I left BeeHaw and came to Lemmy.world.

      Does this mean that I might need to occasionally interact with someone who doesn’t share similar views as me? Yes, but it also means I’m more free to join different communities that I wanted to join.
