Neat. I tried getting into fediverse a couple time during the last 3 years and everytime I'd get bored after a day or two.
This time it feels different though. I never imagined there would be this much activity on here. We really oughta thank spez lmao

Precisely! And unlike Twitter or Facebook you're not reliant to other specific people.
Reddit have us an opening we wouldn't have had otherwise.
I think lemmy has the potential to break the fediverse wide open.
Not just Lemmy, since that's the cool thing federation allows. This is a Lemmy instance and you're posting from Lemmy, but I'm reading and posting from kbin. Even in its early stages, we've got two big different alternatives that share the same content, which is dope.
Federation is absolutely amazing. So many communities can come together here
Federation is such a breath of fresh air after the last decade of everything growing more and more into a walled garden.
More like you can choose who you're reliant on, and that choice includes yourself(selfhosting)
It became pretty much permanent for me, now I'm more on kbin the last few days than Reddit (like at least a 10:1 ratio in terms of minutes spent), where I only use reddit if I need some info that can't be found anywhere else and that AI can't answer me. I'm pretty sure even the real "2 days" folks will come here full-time as soon as the API changes go through and most apps for Reddit stop working.
Federation really helps too because here I get an active flow of interesting posts from this and different instances and communities unlike Reddit where you scroll r/popular once and you're done for the day.
I also tend to write much more extensive and informative comments on here than on Reddit, which probably comes with the territory, but I've seen it with other people too.
I don't write extensive and informative comments, but I am posting a lot more comments than I used to on Reddit. It feels more open.
Same here. And, as someone father up this thread observed, forcing a big exodus in a short span of time is the Best possible way to bootstrap this migration :)
I think I will do the same. Hopefully lurkers and snowflakes remain there.
yea most definetely. I think the initial momentum is important, with peopel more willing to get used to the new platform and UI lol
Each day that passes, your brain makes a wider and wider path for any new format, the place and its' different rhythm become more familiar and comfortable.
Personally, I hated Mastodon, its architecture is just no user-friendly and mass adoption is very unlikely. I'm loving Lemmy tbh!
This is my experience as well. albeit my other experiences on the fediverse were with mastodon; and the twitter-style of doing things is much harder to feel like you're getting the content you're after or feeling like there's a lot going on.
