Probably, if lemmy become searchable in generic search engine. The one thing that made reddit great is searching a keyword + reddit, and most likely you'll find others who haved reviewed, discussed, fix, experience, what i'm searching before. So far can't do it with lemmy.

It's a no-brainer. I was an early addict of Usenet, and never found the same utility and community when everyone left for the bright shiny corporate sites (and usenet became harder and harder to access since it wasn't making any billionaires richer.) The Fediverse is what is needed to take the internet back. I just feel bad that it took me so long to start. I joined Mastodon in January and am a thousand times more active there than I ever was at the birdsite, because my account is growing and morphing to fit MY needs. The same will happen with Lemmy and Kbin, and I hope with peertube and all the others. I keep saying it...the Fediverse is what we should have been doing all along, rather than tolerating the billionaires because it was "convenient".

Yes! Done with Reddit

100% yes.. It just doesn't feel right to me that Reddit is a platform entirely created by the community, yet the ones getting rich are a select few.

In essence, people make content and some guy who probably doesn´t even use reddit that much gets to buy a new house/car/boat. No thank you.

Yes, definitely.

I’m actually really enjoying watching it grow, I joined on another account at under 10k then on this account (which is now my main) at around 100k, now it’s over 1m. I know that number is slightly inflated since there’s bots and multiple accounts for some users but still, my point still stands

Its so difficult to stay but i want to. The android app needs a lot of work. But i enjoy it from time to time.

I have been uaing Reddit since 2009 so it will be extremely difficult to leave reddit.

I will use reddit, lemmy and Tumblr.

Most likely. All we need is more active users generating content and I'll be quite happy!

I do plan on staying here mostly. Aaron would be ashamed of how far reddit has fallen. Some subs I cannot live without like /r/CFB which means I will use reddit from time to time unfortunately

[hey, first post on Lemmy 🥳]

If Mastodon & Lemmy remains are active as they are right now, then yes.

Yes.

I came here as a Reddit alternative and like it much better. It reminds me of why I used to enjoy being on the internet before everything was owned by corporations trying to make money. A lot of people are comparing it to old forums, but it is also much more connected and easier to navigate than the forums of past internet days.

I'm still on the fence. I've been having a lot of issues with lemmy after creating an account

Yep because I only use Reddit third party apps I won't have a reason to use Reddit anymore. Plus their treatment of the mods.

yup. but wee need more feature like real polls.

Yeah!

Yeah! Fills my reddit void

yes

I hope to. This gives the same vibes and works far better than the Reddit app and website.

Yes, obviously.

Here to stay. Lemmy feels like old Reddit, back in the early days, after Digg 2.0 imploded for acting like... current Reddit. Digg 2.0 was actually less brazen and more polite than the crap Spez has been pulling. It's mind boggling that's he's learned so little over the years.

Yep

Slick interface. Text-heavy. OG Redditors.

I’ll stay for sure if it picks up.

I feel so let down by Reddit. I had two accounts with a combined Karma of 800k. I only posted original content. I posted thousands of comments. Reddit was an ingrained part of my daily life for years.

Then both accounts were permanently suspended immediately after I called out a bot phishing scam. Two appeals rejected. I was gutted. Still am.

Reddit is hedging everything on AI / LLM populating the entire site. Who needs human content creators anymore?

So, yeah. If Lemmy grows, I’ll be arguing, trolling, and jesting here for many years to come.

Yes, it's really clean. Once it grows the debugging will help smooth things out.

I want to, but I think the content still needs some help

I hope to! I was skeptical at first that enough momentum could build to turn this into a viable Reddit alternative, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised so far

If it gets better ( and I hope it does). I cannot tolerate using reddit's official app, but my experience on lemmy has been buggy and slow so far. Also my favorite subreddit has no sign of migrating yet.

I'm uncertain.

A fair portion of the communities I followed on Reddit were rather niche, so it might be a bit before similar communities pop up here. I'm also not completely sold on the fediverse concept, and there's a strong focus on Reddit hate here rather than actual new content.

On the other hand, I think it has a lot of promise, and the 3rd party app I used for Reddit is also coming here, so I think it has a lot of potential. I just hope Lemmy comes into its own eventually.

Yup! Although there are clearly growing pains, the general vibe and tone of comments feels like the friendly and candid environment I previously liked in a lot of smaller subreddits. The kind where no one is expecting any kind of monetary return for an opinion. It's all intangible worthless internet points to be handed around, so there's not much to be had in ulterior motives.

Too late, my antenna dropped and my ears grew. I'm a lemmie now.

This is my first comment on here, and it definitely won't be my last. I'm not looking back.

Yes. More and more content every day, no corporate overlords to appease, and best of all so far the community has been significantly more friendly.

I'll stick around. Not going back to reddit, but I hope Lemmy grows and becomes more active.

With the dumpster fire that is Twitter, and now Reddit, more than ever there's a need for decentralization. At this point, it's not a matter of if, but when a company will turn on itself to make a profit. What made Reddit Reddit, are the communities. While Reddit actually hosts the service, that's pretty much the only contribution to its existence I've seen. I used the webpage when on a PC, but I refused to use the official app. I've decided to bite the bullet and delete my Reddit accounts, because that's the only real way to make a statement, not blacking out subreddits for a few days. They don't care about that. It's just a drop in the ocean. But deleting (user) accounts, that's sending out a clear message. Lemmy continuing to grow and attract content creators, moderators, and posters will make it more vibrant and usefull. So I'm personally here to stay.

I don't need another social media site that is trying to sell my data, feed me endless ads, AND has a dictator at the helm.

I'm not deleting my Reddit account, and I won't stop using Reddit entirely, but I'm done using Reddit multiple times a week and will mostly browse occasionally or through search results from Google.

I was deeply sad when all this began and Sync for Reddit was being shutdown, but Lemmy legit feels just like Reddit only better!

Plus, with Sync for Lemmy in development I couldn't be happier!!! Just needs to grow with more users and activity for those more niche communities to develop. But I'm all in for the decentralized future!

Yes.

Yes as long as Lemmy is free from outside control.

Yes. I'm still lost but I'm here to stay...

I'd like to! Most of the more niche places I go to aren't here yet and that's hard for me.

Yes I really like this. I've been signing on every night learning how it works. The atmosphere is better, better content, I've been signing on Reddit to watch it burn, I thought I'd miss it and I don't- haven't even gone on today actually

Can't wait to see what /justunsubbed is bitching about lol

The concept is showing lots of promise. There is great content being created, and an active community. I was on the fence a few weeks ago, but now I am bought in, to the fediverse. Lemmy looks like the top platform, though I still like kbin's ui approach. Overall I see that lemmy is ahead in content and has my support.

Yes

Where would I go?

Yes.

I made accounts on both lemmy and kbin, not sure on how to juggle the two yet, but the atmosphere is much more laid back here then on Reddit

Yes

Yes for sure if it gets more usage. I love the concept of Lemmy, but for now it's just a bit too quiet.
