Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I’m just curious to know how y’all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?

    It’s the Fediverse that I have been searching for.

    Somebody on Lemmy made this quote I really like:

    Twitter is people you care about posting content you don’t care about. Reddit is people you don’t care about posting content that you do care about

    Twitter-like Fedi never clicked for me. I made a bunch of accounts over the course of two, maybe three years, each starting with the intention of maybe making new friends and having a good time. I met a ton of cool people but we never became good friends because I never got really invested into it, simply because my feed was never something I hoped it would be, something exciting.

    Lemmy gives me exactly what I was searching for. I didn’t use it prior to thr Reddit migration because there were too few people but now I am very happy

      Just another quote I read about twitter/Mastodon:

      “You simply shout into the void and hope someone answer.”

      Lemmy and Reddit feel more like the old forum culture. And that’s better, imo.
