4chan legitimately still beats lemmy and anything else. Slap on a bunch of decent filters and it's far more entertaining and useful than both reddit and lemmy combined.

I'm happy so far and I'm enjoying watching the community grow.
the recent giant performance boost for lemmy.world and the launch of the ios client Memmy on the app store makes lemmy so great rn
I'll probably stick with Lemmy until another solution comes around that makes federation easier.
There's a chance I'll move to kbin, although I have a community here. But in general, Lemmy makes a good Reddit replacement.
Yes it is. Tried Imgur for a while, but that place is… lost. Now with the Memmy App, I feel right at home here on Lemmy
I wasn't aware imgur was even a social media, I thought it was just an image host
I love it. It's fun to watch it grow too.
I hope it will be, and think it has the potential.
It has already replaced the "all" experience for me, and I automatically come here rather than Reddit. On the other hand, most of my engagement on reddit was with hobby/interest communities. Very few of the ones I visited on Reddit have made it across in an active way so far.
One unexpected thing is that I actually enjoy my specific instance and find myself browsing "Local" way more often than I expected.
I split my time between Lemmy and Tildes, Lemmy is the most Reddit-like, Tildes is more of a place for contemplation and I like it a lot, but when I feel like doomscrolling a la Reddit, I go to Lemmy.

Actually I didn't think I'd move away from reddit but since I found lemmy I have to activelly think about going to reddit to read something there. Most of the communities I already found here and suprisingly, I'm not really missing the ones which I thought I'd miss.
So far it is satiating that Reddit itch that I require scratched. Honestly, I would love if Reddit fired Spez and walked back his shit, and if that happened I’d return to my 15yr old account. I don’t know if it will happen, and if it doesn’t this is my new home.
Have a Tilde account now too, more users, but less active? Odd space...
Maybe? With revancing the RIF app i can still use my old app. This being said the protests have salted the earth in many placed i subscribed to. In other places there are more bots and spam then before. Lemmy is still a little weird for me. I barely got the hang of the federation in browser, app was too weird for me.
So ill just vagabond around for a while and see what i see.
I'm between here and Squabbles, but I am leaning heavily this way, since Wefwef removed some of the annoyances. Sync coming here guaranteed that I would be here eventually.
4 weeks ago it was empty.
3 weeks ago it was a growing and a little rough to find content.
2 weeks ago it was filling in.
1 week ago it was silly (beans anyone?).
It is growing by leaps and bounds. The main thing missing now is the really good discussions in politics and news. But I think the trajectory is right and it will be the place to be.
Literally just signed up. Don't quite get the instances thing I'll read about that tonight but right now I'm on world which I think is the 'big' one?
Either way liking it so far

I’ve used both Lemmy and Kbin. I see advantages to both, but I have been finding that Kbin isn’t as flexible with federated posts and is less flexible with smaller instances: my smaller instance of Kbin is missing a lot of posts and images that show up on kbin.social.
My smaller instance of Lemmy (VLemmy) seems to be pretty complete, so I have been been happy with it.
Also, the constant Kbin warnings about missing info on Federated magazines has really pushed me toward Lemmy.
It's good. Apps help alot. Needs to be easier to find shit you like in app. Don't miss reddit. Also Rip Lemmy - 2015. What a great thing to be named after. Cheers
