    Found my way here as part of the Grand Reddit Migration. Applying for refugee status please. (1st day on Lemmy, looks good gotta say)

    This feels great. The posts right now seem a lot more genuine compared to reddit lately. Keep it up!

      Oh, hi Margot Robbie. I loved you in Suicide Squad… the first one, I couldn’t be bothered to watch the second one. Sorry 😅

    It is very clear that new content per day has been steadily increasing the past 14 days.

    Lemmy is no longer just promising, it is already good. With signs of getting even better.

    With more active users, more niche communities should soon be able to do fine too.

      I already didn’t read past the first few hundred comments on reddit- Lemmy already feels almost as good to use, way more than mastodon did coming from Twitter.

        Mastodon is simply not as good. Lemmy achieves its objectives very cleanly and seems to leverage ActivityPub the best in the fediverse by far.

          Twitter is also focused around individuals. Reddit around communities. I believe different dynamics of those two are why Lemmy works better.

      Watching the last 3 weeks has been exciting. Dead subs springing to life & much more content. New subs every single day.

    I’ve definitely noticed the uptick in the number of communities and new posts. Exciting times.

    Hi guys just made an account and deleted the Reddit app (after giving up hope and deleting Apollo). Guess this is where I’m hanging out now

    Had to restart my instance so I’m commenting here to make sure I add to the active user count. Looking good, Lemmy! Let’s hope we can keep this momentum going into the next month (and beyond)!

      I became scared to post on reddit in fear of having to cope with another clash regarding a mundane subject. I’m happy to restart commenting here, the mood seems so cool, it’s refreshing!

      Agreed, after using it for a few days it’s actually not too bad. Doesn’t quite have the QoL stuff that some of Reddit’s 3rd party apps had but it’s still pretty good.

    using lemmy this past week or so just lurking gives me some hope for the future of the internet during a particularly bleak part of a general decline… i’m so happy to be here. let’s make this work!
