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?
For me it seems to have wained a bit, I feel like a lot of casual users have gone silent recently, the content I’m seeing is more specific to niche topics and communities
Have you tried browsing another instance’s All feed to see if yours is missing any communities? I started using Lemmy on a really small instance but switched to lemmy.world as my main because it could see a lot more content. My new alt runs a federation helper to fix this too.
My only real complaint with Lemmy is that instances, by default, only know about their own communities and the remote communities that their users have specifically subscribed to. Some smaller instances run federation helpers that scan other instances for communities. Manually initiating a federation request is not intuitive either.
i moved to lemmy before the reddit api changes. in january 2023 i stopped using all proprietary software and was looking for alternetives. its way better than reddit, im never going back…
There’s good reason to love Lemmy, and since joining I’ve also gone very Foss and privacy centric but I just feel like it’s a bit quiet, maybe it’s just me
