I don't know how I never stumbled upon Lemmy before, I've been looking for a worthwhile alternative to Reddit for over a year now. Guess I wasn't looking hard enough!

New here too as a Reddit Refugee. Hoping this will be a nice alternative.
Personally, so far I adore it. It doesn't scratch that... Endless content consumption itch that Reddit did. There are a lot less users, so there's a lot less "fresh" content piling up on my home feed for me to scroll through and huff air out my nose at.
It's been a bit of an adjustment, but now that I'm more used to it it's definitely a welcome change. I find myself actively engaging more instead of just scrolling by, contributing instead of lurking.
Welcome to Lemmy!
Give it some time the content will come. Also make sure to post that content yourself too. Posting and commenting are very needed right now to attract more people and the more people get attracted the less posting and commenting you’ll need to do to maintain everyone engaged
I definitely have been! I'm mostly active in [email protected] and [email protected] right now, trying to branch out and do more across the ~~website~~ Fediverse. :)
How do you find these other instances on other servers? I’m an Apollo refugee I’m so confused how to find my way around the fediverse.
