I’m in a similar boat. Playing a wait and see game, but looking at what alternatives are out there and whether they jump out to me.
Heard about Lemmy maybe a few months ago as Mastodon started to gain more awareness and figured it’d be a prime option to look into.
I'm definitely taking to this one quicker than I did Mastodon.
The trigger point for Mastodon for me was losing Tweetbot on Twitter and Ivory coming out. From that point onward I’ve spent more time on Mastodon than I have Twitter. I was a very light Twitter user but so it was a pretty easy jump to make, especially as a fair few people I followed also went over.
I’ll see how this one plays out. I’m an Apollo user so in a similar boat where I have an app that’s been orphaned, however I’m realistically not going to find anywhere with as mature an app unlike that Ivory scenario where TapBots were fortunate enough to have almost completed their Mastodon app when Twitter unceremoniously killed their API access overnight. From memory they had a beta at the time already.
Enjoying things so far so even if I don’t go all in, I think I can see my usage growing over time, hopefully alongside a broader growth of the community.
