I will stay if you all stay. The site we want is the one with the people. I got sick of talking to bots and seeing ads disguised as social commentary. I would love to have a place to learn and socialize without constantly being bought and sold.

Absolutely, I'm not going back to Reddit after the shit they pulled.

Absolutely, federated social media is clearly the way of the future. For years before reddit forums were hosted and support pretty much solely from it's users, and it's like that again. I don't think big corps should have the huge hands in tech that they have had, and I think this is the answer.

YES.

Leaning a little towards kbin but im active on lemmy and kbin! Never going back to reddit though.NEVER EVER

Yes!

(P.S. hope they add a poll system)

I've used my lemmy.ml account periodically since 2020, so... yes. And my interaction has only increased since the Reddit issues.

yep really like it here

Yes

yes

Yes

Yes!

Once the site has a slicker design, a true black theme (cause OLED phone), and the communities I‘m on Reddit for are here as well, I don‘t see why not. I‘m not married to Reddit or my account there.

Absolutely, this is my new home.

Absolutely sticking around. Lemmy has basically completely replaced reddit for me. Once I got used to how instances and federation works it feels like how reddit was, especially like the smaller subreddits that were much tighter knit communities than the major subs.

Only if mobile apps catch up to the likes of Apollo/rif. There's a lot of quirks that I'm not a fan of for jebora. I did see both Apollo and sync are both developing apps for Lemmy/kbin so I'm hopeful.

Yes! Lemmy keeps getting better and better everyday. Im loving it!

In 2018 I registered for an instance running diaspora*. At the time it felt early but federation was certainly the future. I deleted all socials except Reddit. Now with reddit doing its thing and the influx of new users I feel like federation is a better option. I think I'll delete my reddit account fairly soon. However I might not use lemmy or kbin often as it's also a good time to start easing of social media all together

I actually much prefer lemmy. But unlike most, I'd much prefer it not become a reddit clone. Once there is too many people it becomes a search engine, a long line of puns and hot takes. Just my 2 cents. I prefer engaging discussion over content. The content is just there to get the ball rolling. Either way, I'm perfectly happy with lemmy in whatever it evolves into and I'm glad I'm here with everyone, and I'm really enjoying this early stage. I have always much preferred small communities in my own life. This is the only sm I use rn.

Also unlike most I actually really enjoy the home brew vibe. Having to struggle and work around bugs and stuff is kinda fun. Lol

I may not be as active here as I was on Reddit, until I understand it a bit better... but I use mastodon so it shouldn't be... too difficult, I would assume.

Yes. Communication between humans seems to be working so far. Good vibes.

Here to stay and do my part to help steer the net away from megacorp monopolization of the web.

Yes.

It will for sure change once more people join, but this whole fediverse idea... it feels like the next evolution of social media. I think almost all of us knew deep down something bad was happening with reddit / our social media use. Federated, community-managed social media seems to be a logical next step.

I’ve given up on Reddit. I’m here to stay

Yes in case of not going back to spez's playground.

Although Lemmy is written in Rust I think i will switch to Kbin.

Hi, I'm new here. How do you vote in the comments? I agree that lemmy is a good solution. Just wanted to say that much. Thank you.

Of course.

It depends on the tech. I'm not convinced this form of federation is going to work. There's already a lot of tech issues being exposed and drama unfolding between the instances.

I also don't think it will see wide public adoption due to how segmented the communities are.

I hope these issues are resolved, and I'll try to stick it out here. I quit Twitter and am trying Mastodon and I'll do the same with reddit. I'm not willing to just sit by and watch corporations take over our society.

Yes. People are friendly here.

Yes! I also can't wait for Sync!

Yes, I hope I can use it instead of reddit altogether
