Ask Lemmy

I'm loving the fediverse so far, lemmy has been a breath of fresh air compared to reddit. Definitely not going anywhere!

I’m pretty comfy here.

You assume I think

I'm not sure what else there is besides, like quora.

So far I'm happy with it. There is less mindless content to scroll but the quality of content is much better.

To be honest, I'm just trying to cut down on social media in general. If I could limit my usage to no more than half an hour a day, I would be set.

It's what I've got for now. I'm no more attached to Lemmy than I was to Reddit for the time being. I clung on to Reddit via Boost just out of convenience but I don't, like, miss it terribly or anything (yet?).

Yeah some of the littler/niche communities I was in are yet to resurface here (from the guilty pleasure Amberlynn Reid drama-watching to the somewhat related anorexia recovery subreddit) but that's to be expected, really.

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.

Ironically threads isn't a reddit clone even though the threadiverse exists

Yup.

The best of the options we have so far. Really wish Christian from Apollo fame would make an app for it.

Yes(in a way), hopefully not.

Nah, more of a Kbin fan, but I also have some other forums/BBS sites I go to (and reddit still because the community around life in Japan and such never got going over here, but only those subreddits and nothing else).

I'm definitely sticking around. It was slow going on Lemmy after Reddit's third party app shutdown on 6/30 but there's been a noticeable uptick in posts and comments in the communities I follow which is great. I don't need 5,000 responses per post and Lemmy's discussion volume works just fine for me.

There are still a few interests I follow that aren't present on Lemmy that I'm aware of (pro wrestling and NFL being the big ones), but hopefully those arrive soon.

I much prefer Kbin, mainly because of the interface, the quality of the feed, and microblog feature
