I'm a long time reddit user.. I should say I'm quite hooked. But lemmy feels a lot quiet. My primary interests are electronics, embedded programming, piracy ๐Ÿ˜ and selfhosting. Apart from the last community the others are quite deserted.

I'v been on and off since past 1 1/2 years. No change..

On the other hand Mastodon is going well. And I nurture the interactions there. Lemmy could be the same. I too feel Reddit is kinda on-to-your face and aggressive.

Personally I think of myself as holding space and keeping the current communities active while waiting for the software to mature. The devs have been making big strides with Lemmy 1.0, I think in a year or two we'll begin to be a viable competitor to "normie" Reddit users similarly to how Linux achieved new levels of mainstream adoption in 2025.
