As someone who was lurking on Reddit every day, probably not to be honest. I know a lot of people are enjoying the smaller community, but to me it just feels... empty. The bigger instances are fine, but I was never interested in the popular subreddits like r/funny or r/memes. I used reddit for things like specific games, communities that are noticeably dead on Lemmy.

I'm using Lemmy more like an intermediary step between reddit and just quitting altogether.

    Lemmy will need to hit a critical mass of regular users before all the niche non-Programmer orientated communities will start to properly populate, hopefully it doesn't drop off before then

    That's my problem so far. I've been leaving subreddits I can live without and trying to use Lemmy for general browsing, but some of the smaller subreddits can't be replaced.
