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 good and bad. I miss most of the niche communities that I frequented on Reddit but on the other side I am commenting and interacting on Lemmy much more than reddit. It feels good to have some discussion. Hopefully the niche communities I miss will grow in time. Another good thing is that since Lemmy is much smaller than Reddit I’ll run out of new content quickly and go do something else instead. So now I’m not mindlessly scrolling for ages. I am noticing that since this is such a small community with a very specific group of people that use it (left leaning/tech) that it generally has much less diverse content and memes compared to Reddit. This matters more on Lemmy since most of the content is focused on broad appealing things compared to Reddit which had bigger niche communities.
