I like it, definitely more politically aligned than reddit, but I still find it a bit empty. On one hand, I like that my comments donβt drown in a sea of similar comments, on the other there is rarely a lively discussion. So: mostly good, still hoping for a bit of growth

For an "early adopter" it is amazing so far. I see a lot of potential, more-so with Lemmy than other federated platforms. I thought I would just use Lemmy on mobile to replace Reddit since I refuse to download their app. Instead, it unintentionally replaced Reddit almost entirely for me. Just missing some small niche communities that I can't find anywhere but reddit
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.
I think just like most people's experiences. It does what I need it to. We just need people and participation.
I'm waiting to see when things go back to normal in a sense of just regular content and not reddit migration stuff, so far it's not much different, let's see how it goes.
I like Lemmy for inheriting all of Reddit's positive traits. Tough moderation, bots in the comments, stupid upvote/downvote hells, and many other virtues. I remember how it all started and all the sweet utopian tales of those who shouted "f*ck u/spez" on every corner. You can delete your Reddit account, but you can't delete Reddit from your head.
So far the only complaints I have is the lack of population (my teams communities are so small there is no real conversation going on), and some delays in these days. But tbh, both are to be expected, so I dont mind them too much. Really rooting for the instances admins ramping up the servers, and for people to migrate here.
Functionality wise, I was a bit confused by the federatization concept but it is pretty similar to reddit so except for creating the account it is pretty good!
