Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I'm just curious to know how y'all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?

Not very good. Many communities are just too small for any meaningful stuff, the UI is ugly, the software's buggy, and Lemmy (and tbh, the whole Fediverse) sometimes feels like a political echo chamber, only favoring a certain side.

I'm on Voyager (via the app store) and it is wonderful (and free)!

I agree that some communities are quite empty, but I found that the techn savy communities are quite large and well maintained (selfhosted, linux and such).

Although the read is arguably shorter, i have more time in my day as a result of that. Not missing reddit at all ATM.

I installed Voyager yesterday, I can't log in

I like the ui myself, and some of the apps are absolutely beautiful, I get you on the lack of engagement though, I've actually gone back and opened up a reddit account for this reason, I still love Lemmy and I'm certainly not giving up hope yet, but sometimes I just need more..
