As a 10+ year Redditor who created content and was on the site multiple times a day I agree completely. I haven't logged in for more than a week and have no plans on going back.

9 years here.... Daily usage. Daily commenting and posting. I've not logged in to look at reddit in 5 days. I'm not going to lie, lemmy in it's current form needs work. A lot of it to be more of what reddit was (simply for a "front page of the internet" type feel). I'm being patient, as I don't believe in what reddit is doing, and lemmy is brand new to me. As a diehard Linux guy, I love the open source, and community drive behind the fediverse, so I want to ride it out for awhile.

I hope that the fediverse can evolve and becoming a really great alternative to reddit. Time will tell. The more people get here... And posting, the better.

You're right about Lemmy not being there yet, but in the short time I've been on here there has been a noticeable change in the quantity and quality of content. The same is true for Mastodon.

Hopefully the people coming from Reddit will bring their posting habits with them.
