I'm having an easier time sticking to it and not visiting reddit than I thought I would. The first day was pretty sketchy with 90% of the posts being about Lemmy, reddit, or twitter - but since then it's been giving a more enjoyable experience.
It probably helps that I'm making an effort to post and comment, which I never really did on reddit.
As Lemmy grows I'd like to see more niche communities take off, similar to how there was "a subreddit for everything".
I do have a big wishlist for site functionality changes though. A big sore spot is that youtube videos and text posts can't open in-line on the front page.
Seconding that I miss reddit so much less than I thought.
