Yes. More and more content every day, no corporate overlords to appease, and best of all so far the community has been significantly more friendly.

Yes. 13 year former reddit user. Haven't been on reddit for about two weeks.

Also, fyi, there will be a response bias that i suspect will favor those who think they will stay on lemmy in this poll.

It's a no-brainer. I was an early addict of Usenet, and never found the same utility and community when everyone left for the bright shiny corporate sites (and usenet became harder and harder to access since it wasn't making any billionaires richer.) The Fediverse is what is needed to take the internet back. I just feel bad that it took me so long to start. I joined Mastodon in January and am a thousand times more active there than I ever was at the birdsite, because my account is growing and morphing to fit MY needs. The same will happen with Lemmy and Kbin, and I hope with peertube and all the others. I keep saying it...the Fediverse is what we should have been doing all along, rather than tolerating the billionaires because it was "convenient".

Yes

Yes

I'm staying. I haven't liked reddit for a while now.

yes

but why not make a stawpoll out of it?

It depends on the tech. I'm not convinced this form of federation is going to work. There's already a lot of tech issues being exposed and drama unfolding between the instances.

I also don't think it will see wide public adoption due to how segmented the communities are.

I hope these issues are resolved, and I'll try to stick it out here. I quit Twitter and am trying Mastodon and I'll do the same with reddit. I'm not willing to just sit by and watch corporations take over our society.

Yea, I'm here to stay and help it grow. Reddit even before all this BS just felt...icky sometimes. Lemmy doesn't, and I'm loving the passionate people that are moving here.

It's a little up in the air for me at the moment. I just discovered that all of our upvotes and downvotes aren't private. It's not what I'm used to at Reddit.

I can see pros and cons to this, so it will be an interesting change for sure.

Once my reddit app stops working I won't have a choice but to find a new home. Subreddits are burning in ways that can't be easily reversed and will take years to naturally grow back.

As long as I can find news and memes, I will stay here.

Probably. It would be nice to be able to select a more compact view - it feels like there's a lot of wasted screen real estate with the current look.

I will stay, just have to figure out more how it actually works.

Yes, after Boost for reddit stops working.

I plan on it if more people come over and the communities grow. So far I have been checking the sub-Reddits I am subscribed to for info about them migrating to Lemmy

Yes, even more likely if I find a good iOS app for Lemmy.

Maybe a stupid question but is there any app for Lemmy? In my mobile browser it is somehow clumsy

Is there a way to access lemmy on mobile?

Just tried it for a few hours. Seems good, similar to reddit. But yeah, the fediverse part is confusing.

Some issues I have so far are, (1) when searching for communities, it seems that they are fragmented throughout the fediverse, whereas in reddit they are in one place. which makes it kinda odd and well (2) it's kinda small-knit. which I guess is good but feels odd coming from a large site to a small one.

Still, I'm gonna give it a try. to me its something new but similar :)

I actually much prefer lemmy. But unlike most, I'd much prefer it not become a reddit clone. Once there is too many people it becomes a search engine, a long line of puns and hot takes. Just my 2 cents. I prefer engaging discussion over content. The content is just there to get the ball rolling. Either way, I'm perfectly happy with lemmy in whatever it evolves into and I'm glad I'm here with everyone, and I'm really enjoying this early stage. I have always much preferred small communities in my own life. This is the only sm I use rn.

Also unlike most I actually really enjoy the home brew vibe. Having to struggle and work around bugs and stuff is kinda fun. Lol
