Is Lemmy THE reddit alternative for you? Are you thinking about moving somewhere else? - Lemmy.world

Im cautiously optimistic about Lemmy. Short / mid term I’ll be here as it provides probably 90+% of what I was getting out of Reddit. I’m not sure long term how it will work out but so far I have no reason to leave.

I’ve also noticed I just don’t interact with any of it like I used to with Reddit. I used to spend a lot of time just doom scrolling on Reddit. Now I get the highlights of the news, check the sports sun for updates, and then I’m back to the real world. I like that.

Honestly I think once third-party apps get sorted with subscription or personal API keys, people will return and reddit will keep growing.

I do like the federated model though, and I’ll probably keep using Lemmy too. Feels much more like the “old” reddit from 10+ years ago. Probably because only the old school users have moved to Lemmy.
