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?

It's a give an take. I do miss some of the communities but at this time lemmy is more intimate. Some of my favorite communities are so big, being a part of the discussion is like pissing in the wind. As an early adopter on lemmy you can help build and participate more readily. Nothing like having a comment on a thread with 1,000 comments and thinking 'fuck it no one cares.' Or worse trying to hamstring your comment into the top 6 or 7 threads for visablity alone.

I dig the analogy and had to chuckle.
