I’m hoping it will “stick” and grow in more popularity. I’ve been using wefwef.app and it’s nearly the same as Apollo, so I’ve been enjoying it. Many of my favorite communities are already here, but some aren’t, so it just means I’ll have to get them started!

Yeah, I'm pretty happy here. It's nice and close knit and not full of shit. Kbin also seems cool but needs a bit more time in the oven and an app to really be useful to me.

As of right now, I'm using Lemmy and just getting the feel for it. I think once some of the other larger 3rd party apps start getting released for Lemmy (Sync, Boost, etc.), it'll drive more people to creating an account and creating more communities. When compared to reddit, it's quite dead at the moment, but that can change once people start creating communities and participating. Time will tell if this is the "next reddit" or just the transitional phase.

I think in my (limited) experience so far, kbin has the features/layout I prefer--but there's "nobody" over there. The community I set up over here is slowly gathering followers--the kbin one is not.

Yeah I think I like it here, it's different, but that isnt a bad thing. Also no idea where else to go. All other social media is off putting.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, currently Lemmy is the one. Trust Cafe WTS Social is small but has some interesting aspects.

It will be interesting to see how Lemmy scales and adapts to corporations joining, and also how GDPR compliance unfolds.

I use reddit.club

Seems like it is for me, I'm also using snapzu, but I seem to be gravitating towards lemmy more.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

For now this is where I've landed and the community seems to be growing at a steady pace. As long as this place keeps growing and evolving, then I'm here for the long haul.

I like it but there is sparse activity on most of the Android instances. 😟 Lemmy kind of seems like several of ants scurrying around on a big mound right now. Am a big BoostforReddit fan and am hanging out on Jerboa until their Lemmy app is released.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I am also using raddle.me and squabbles.io. both look promising and slightly less confusing than Lemmy with their instances.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Not to me. As the community is smaller, my exposure is larger. I had no voice on Reddit or any community.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

For now y’all are stuck with me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Lemme tell you... Yes the platform and ecosystem are only going to get better.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's a tough hole to fill. Lemmy is neat but still has a lot of growth to do.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, aside from the porn. The lemmy porn scene just isn't here yet. Also lemmy nsfw just moved servers to Ukraine where porn is illegal, so who knows?
