I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

    I just got started here after days of no reddit as more mainstream media picked up the protests and mentioned the Fediverse. Honestly, I love it for the reasons you outlined. Can’t imagine going back. There’s still some communities I don’t have here, but I imagine they will form up eventually, and if they don’t there’s nothing I’d really miss, or if I did I’d create it myself.

    I had eyeballed joining Mastodon when he-who-sucks took over twitter but wasn’t real comfortable with figuring out something new at the time (for personal reasons). Glad I’ve gotten the kick in the butt to join the Fediverse! It’s fun here!!
