Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)
I still use reddit (for now) but I'm very much enjoying the smaller community feel on beehaw, while being able to join in on conversations in other instances whenever I feel like it.
There have been some stability issues on most of the more popular instances because of the sudden influx, but of course that's to be expected and I just take it as a hint to get off the internet for a while, lol
I am wondering how to see if there's any interest in the more niche communities to stand up any on lemmy without basically spamming the communities. So I just kind of wait for others to broach the subject so far.
