    This has been awesome. I’m finding out about communities I’ve never known about but starting with Lemmy to follow. Thanks Reddit for making all of the worst decisions all at once.

    I REALLY like it here the most. After a couple weeks, I’m barely missing it over there (I really miss Apollo, not Reddit, thank you to Voyager for providing a similar experience).

      Reddit’s and Twitter’s recent move have been the best thing that happened to the Fediverse.

      Hope we’re getting close to the critical mass required for more people to start adopting it !

        I’m of the opinion I don’t want critical mass. The experience right now with the most technical savvy people in most communities has been my favorite part.

        Let’s leave the combative, competitive and bot-riddled users over there. lol

          It sure is refreshing ! Then let’s just hope that more big-content creator (the 1% of reddit that actually post) move here then ^^

          It’s a trade-off, like all things. Right now the user base is small and friendly enough for civil discussions and an inviting atmosphere, but with critical mass comes enough population to fuel niche communities as well as more content overall.

          I love using Lemmy right now, but it’s not quite the full powered distraction faucet yet. Though I guess maybe that’s a good thing for mental health purposes.
