Ask Lemmy

I think in my (limited) experience so far, kbin has the features/layout I prefer--but there's "nobody" over there. The community I set up over here is slowly gathering followers--the kbin one is not.

Yeah I think I like it here, it's different, but that isnt a bad thing. Also no idea where else to go. All other social media is off putting.

Yes, currently Lemmy is the one. Trust Cafe WTS Social is small but has some interesting aspects.

It will be interesting to see how Lemmy scales and adapts to corporations joining, and also how GDPR compliance unfolds.

As of right now, I'm using Lemmy and just getting the feel for it. I think once some of the other larger 3rd party apps start getting released for Lemmy (Sync, Boost, etc.), it'll drive more people to creating an account and creating more communities. When compared to reddit, it's quite dead at the moment, but that can change once people start creating communities and participating. Time will tell if this is the "next reddit" or just the transitional phase.

I use reddit.club

Seems like it is for me, I'm also using snapzu, but I seem to be gravitating towards lemmy more.

Not to me. As the community is smaller, my exposure is larger. I had no voice on Reddit or any community.

For now y’all are stuck with me.

Yeah, aside from the porn. The lemmy porn scene just isn't here yet. Also lemmy nsfw just moved servers to Ukraine where porn is illegal, so who knows?

Lemme tell you... Yes the platform and ecosystem are only going to get better.

Yes here to stay now. With Memmy in the iOS App Store. It’s finally an easier transition.

Yup.

For me yes. I am fairly tech savvy (compared to the general population) and I do worry the barrier to entry of understanding and getting started in participation will prevent a good amount of growth…but hoping when more mainstream apps are released it will be easier for people who just want to open an app and have it work. Eventually it could be more feasible for a typical internet user to open an app, sign up, subscribe and be involved.

Right now it is pretty cool because everyone here has made an effort to join and is passionate about the development of the feddiverse. To a certain point we don’t necessarily want it flooded with Facebook users since it would change drastically…but eventually hopefully it will be widely adopted enough so big celebs and politicians will do amas and it approaches an entity that actually drives competition for the big media companies to be less evil since everyone has the option to just join the feddiverse which we sustain through donations and don’t have to satisfy stockholders, make money etc.

I think I generally federated my time reading and discussing stuff online more. What I mean: instead of spending 90% of my time only on Reddit I use more sites and services but spend less time on each one of it. Lemmy is definitely what replaced Reddit the most but as of right now there just is not as much stuff on here and not as many niche communities as there are/were on Reddit. But in combination with /Kbin, Twitter, Mastodon and some other sites with topics of interest for me, I can pretty much read about anything I like without going on Reddit at all (okay, I checked Reddit probably ten times since the protests started.)

Personally I'm still not feeling it. My feed is just full of memes and rules posts. All the stuff I blocked in bacon reader. I can't find communities for any of the stuff I was interested in on Reddit.

I won't go back to reddit, but I do miss it.

It's certainly slower and the professional communities I was part of are gone but.... I only viewed reddit from mobile and fuck that app sucks.

I’m pretty comfy here.
