Well, let's do a pros vs cons

Pros:

  • I wasn't banned for saying Putin should die after he invaded a country
  • It's a decent time killer
  • It's growing
  • Idk I just like it

Cons:

  • /c/NCD and some other instances are too small and not even close to their counterparts levels
  • Jerboa for Lemmy has not been behaving too well for me
  • It's still fairly small and new so communities need to consolidate still

Overall I like it better than reddit tho.

At least it seems like some of the reddit app developers (like Boost) are making apps for Lemmy so hopefully the influx of developers losing their livelihood on reddit will be able to get some of that back over here.

Connect for Lemmy worked better for me. There's also Thunder and Lift off - both good.

Pretty spot on assessment from my point of view
