I appreciate what Lemmy has to offer, as long as there is content to consume here I will stay. Im not going back to reddit regardless. It was rough tearing that bandaid off, but im over the pain now... Im hoping that an app can develop some qol features that make it a better experience. But as i stated, when it comes to reddit, im done.

Yes, as long as Lemmy gets over its growing pains. Regardless, I won't be going back to Reddit unless they actually listen to their users (but they won't).

Most likely Yes. If I pluck up the courage to start a community or 2 I can't find a replacement for and they get some followers then definitely yes.

Why not? Worst case scenario -- Lord spez snaps it out, tapes himself crying on the floor begging for mercy, plebbit accepts it and Lemmy becomes a plausible alternative.

Its hilarious that half the time people mean to write "Lemmy", their auto correct makes it into "Lenny". Cannot stop imaging the Lenny-dude everyone are coming to see..

Heard about Lemmy maybe in 2019 (when it launched?) when I was looking for FOSS alternatives to everything I use, including Reddit. Never got around to trying it, but this looks good so far. Stripped of the Reddit nonsense. The main informational subs I use have started migrating the Reddit wikis. I was planning on leaving Reddit anyway when it IPO'd. This is the first step.

It just doesn't seem as busy or to have as much content yet, once it becomes more active I can see myself staying

I'll stay, I'm convinced this will help feddie communities, including also kbin or Mastodon as an example, to expand. I just see the problem of: where did my community go? do I need to register into 5 services? Something that many people are arguing and agreeing on and will soon have a decentralized nice federated community, no matter the name or the server you use (long-term for exodus from Reddit and others). I won't blame on this, is difficult to take these decisions in such a short time, days.

I see no reason not to. I feel a little stuck to Reddit for some subreddits because of the years of content and answers. The SkyrimMods subreddit, for example, has so much information on old mods and fixes to problems that are extremely hard to find otherwise.

Overall though, I think I’ll spend more and more time on Lemmy / Kbin (still undecided on which I like better overall, but that’s the fun, right?) than I will on Reddit.

I'll stay, I refuse to use reddits official app.

Only downside is Istiill use Reddit to follow updates on Ukraine.

Once Boost stops working I'd like to not go back to Reddit, I'm hoping this place takes off with the exodus.

If it doesn't then... Oh no

Back to Digg?

I don't think lemmy is ready for primetime. There are many defaults on this that make it seem like a clunky early adopter build of an application.

I'm not planning on leaving... but i'm still struggling to get the same use case here as reddit provides.

I mean no one expects a reddit duplicate overnight. Give it some time.

Yes

Hell yeah! I just recently told my friends that I feel Lemmy reached a critical mass where there is enough posts to keep me entertained all the time. I have no reason to return to Reddit

I just joined and made my own community! So hopefully I’ll stay for a long time!

Yes!

Yep

Idk, the app keeps crashing!

Yep. And I think things will improve a lot very soon.

Too new to rate, but I have to say that I am optimistic. I was early on Digg, early on Reddit and in both cases, had great runs. Fingers crossed - but going to give it the college try.

Hundred percent. Was a Digg "refugee" once before and I made the migration, more than likely will be a Reddit refugee making the migration again to Lemmy.

I think so! I have been enjoying it quite a bit so far, and I am hopeful that it will only get better.

Maybe once the hobby subs and smaller game subs come on. Right now a lot of those are staying put on Reddit and not migrating over. It's cool to see someone start those subs here but without content it's just meh.

Yes and I won’t return to Reddit.

Yep

100%

Yes

Maybe

Maybe, if the people stay but it's unlikely I'll go back to reddit

Lemmy does not have ads and pop ups to force you download an app. So big yes for

I like the idea of the fediverse but seemed confusing when I tried looking into mastadon (maybe cause I don't use Twitter so I don't get the concept). Lemmy just feels right and intuitive
