Ask Lemmy

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've been hearing a lot of buzz about Threads...

No, I'm here to stay I think. Reddit was the only social media I used, and this fills the need perfectly, in fact, in a lot of ways, better.

Im good here.

I use reddit.club

No plans on going anywhere else, sticking with Lemmy.

Ironically threads isn't a reddit clone even though the threadiverse exists

It's what I've got for now. I'm no more attached to Lemmy than I was to Reddit for the time being. I clung on to Reddit via Boost just out of convenience but I don't, like, miss it terribly or anything (yet?).

Yeah some of the littler/niche communities I was in are yet to resurface here (from the guilty pleasure Amberlynn Reid drama-watching to the somewhat related anorexia recovery subreddit) but that's to be expected, really.

Lemmy is popular now, I think people will come here. I'm quite satisfied with user engagement but I think squabble has also had good potential but relatively less user engagement.

I think I generally federated my time reading and discussing stuff online more. What I mean: instead of spending 90% of my time only on Reddit I use more sites and services but spend less time on each one of it. Lemmy is definitely what replaced Reddit the most but as of right now there just is not as much stuff on here and not as many niche communities as there are/were on Reddit. But in combination with /Kbin, Twitter, Mastodon and some other sites with topics of interest for me, I can pretty much read about anything I like without going on Reddit at all (okay, I checked Reddit probably ten times since the protests started.)

For me yes. I am fairly tech savvy (compared to the general population) and I do worry the barrier to entry of understanding and getting started in participation will prevent a good amount of growth…but hoping when more mainstream apps are released it will be easier for people who just want to open an app and have it work. Eventually it could be more feasible for a typical internet user to open an app, sign up, subscribe and be involved.

Right now it is pretty cool because everyone here has made an effort to join and is passionate about the development of the feddiverse. To a certain point we don’t necessarily want it flooded with Facebook users since it would change drastically…but eventually hopefully it will be widely adopted enough so big celebs and politicians will do amas and it approaches an entity that actually drives competition for the big media companies to be less evil since everyone has the option to just join the feddiverse which we sustain through donations and don’t have to satisfy stockholders, make money etc.

I’m pretty comfy here.

Yup.
