Yes, very happy so far. I haven’t posted this much even on Reddit.

Definitely has felt like a more welcoming community. Each comment on Reddit I made I had to mentally brace for the inevitable bot and troll replies. Constant fights.
Here I haven't seen much of it. Some people honestly trying to understand my points of view! Very refreshing
What I really like is the fact that the comments are not just the same jokes or the stupid puns over and over again trying to harvest that sweet sweet karma.
It is refreshing to see comments that bring a different perspective or information to the subject.
The community feels way more welcoming and Lemmy and related apps are developing fast.
Let's hope it stays that way as the user base continues to grow 🤞
I was here early June when there was very little activity. I didn't really understand the fediverse, and how instances worked. I remember thinking "this has so much potential!" The average instance had about 4000 users. And now it's exploding. I know many people are going to continue to use Reddit, there's still more users on Reddit then there are on here, there probably always will.
I feel the users that end up on here are smart, informed, fed up, we see past the lies, we are mature and chill as fuck.
The fact Lemmy takes time to learn is a good thing.
I‘m pretty sure that‘s how literally everyone in their respective information bubble feels. Of course we‘re the only ones who are right ;-)
