I’ve made the transition from Reddit to Lemmy so much more seamlessly than I did from Twitter to Mastodon. The percentage of Lemmy users that post high quality content & comments is much higher than Reddit, and a forum-based platform doesn’t really need many users to be useful, it just needs users who post content and interact meaningfully with one another.
Good. Also good to see a lot of other subreddits are going dark. Been using Lemmy for just a few hours, and I do not miss Reddit one bit anymore.

Lemmy can be a bit slow, especially with remote communities.
But damn, if Reddit’s only option is the new UI there’s no way I’ll ever use it.
