My Initial Impression about Lemmy (lemmy.ml)

I had joined Reddit twice in my lifetime but was not actively using it, and maybe that’s the reason I’m not very familiar with this forum culture.

I would say that Lemmy is by far the most responsive SNS in terms of the community engagement that I’ve ever used.

I like Lemmy, but it can be a very one-sided experience. If youre not in to tech or left wing politics you'll probably find little to engage with.

Edit: I guess the memes are pretty good too

Need a mass adoption for that.

The politics are left of center on social issues, but I wouldn't say it's as bad as Reddit. I see a lot of anti-trump stuff, but that has nothing to do with his politics.
