It's surprisingly good. I thought it would be more dead, but it actually makes for quite a nice replacement with plenty of content.
I haven't been able to find an answer for this, so here goes... How many accounts on different instances does everyone have?
I have three and have started subscribing to different stuff to try and curate my experience (I'm missing multi-reddits), but I'm not sure what's the optimal experience as my all timelines often show very similar content on each account
Lemmy is really good. It's not perfect, but obviously has great potential.
My only issue has been telling other people (in real life) about it, or convincing anyone to try it. The whole concept of the fediverse and related platfoms is too technical for the commoner to understand why it's so important in the first place.

I'm a cat and currently I'm loafing in a corner of the room on my own cushion.
Translation: I am enjoying the peaceful moment looking at people doing their things here.
Im enjoying it so far, i think ive figured most of it out, got myself on a nice smaller local instance and everything is loading properly, and im consuming the information.
Enjoying it so far I think. It's hard to say. Smaller, less content, some of the things I followed haven't made the jump(and I don't have enough time on my hands to help jump start them).
Been using my phone a lot less to doomscroll, and other nonsense so I'vr had more time to work on some hobby projects and such.
Overall though it feels like a good replacement.
Its better in a lot of ways and I have fully switched, didnt look back since.
It would be nice to have a place to discuss world events without trolls brigading every thread.
It's good. It has the pre-Digg.com migration vibe that early Reddit had. Niche communities are hard to get started, but that's to be expected.
Lots of positivity.
I like that its federated to prevent hierarchical abuse. I dislike the seams of that federation reducing ease of use and reducing population growth, thus reducing the size of niche "Communities" (as Lemmy generically calls them).
I need my subs so I still visit Reddit begrudgingly if only for those. Once those more niche communities grow even slightly big enough for a common back and forth though I'll probably fully abandon Reddit.
It's not bad! UI could use a few tweaks on Mobile though.

It's been alright so far. I couldn't get an account to work on Lemmy.world, so I had to start over on lemm.ee and that was kind of a pain, especially since some communities don't show up on lemm.ee. I'm still trying to get everything set up and subscribed to the same communities I was on Reddit. I'm using Jerboa and it works pretty well and looks good. Looking forward to seeing Lemmy grow!
Is actually really nice, I like the separated servers. I can generally filter the amount of communities I see from just my interests, to my local server and then wider. One I found out I could search for and join communities I realized I could stay here
Pretty good actually, android app is neat.
