Nothing important here. I just want to see how many people are moving away from Reddit.
How does everyone from Reddit feel about the lemmy experience?
As of this moment, there are currently:
- 476 subscribers from lemmy.world
- 61 subscribers from kbin.social
- 30 subscribers from lemmy.ml
It’ll take time, and most importantly content, to entice migration.

The number of communities are a lot smaller for sure. But the ones I need are here; i.e. Iinux gaming, popos, anime, hentai.
Content! That’s the key.
As for the platform, i like the inline commenting, but I miss markdown. Also, it keeps the interface in Greek(??). I do have Greek installed as a secondary keyboard layout for all my physics/maths typing, but having a Greek interface (which I have to change everytime from “Browser’s default” to English, is weird.

The lemmy.world maintainer has a lot of experience hosting instances for Mastodon, and lemmy.world currently has the best hardware, highest uptime, and now the highest population count compared to other instances.
What other instance would you recommend?
no more reddit for me, happy to see this community here.
9 year vet reporting in. I was thinking about this last night. - After reading spez’s interviews over the last couple of days, I’m never going back. I was never an active poster, but a very active lurker. If Reddit starts to lose people like me, they might in a bit of trouble. Lemmy scratches an itch that Reddit used to. I’m starting to really like this collection of sites, and as I’ve posted before, the communites (for the most part) have been … nice. With the explosive growth over the last week (I can’t even imagine what the admins went through), there will be growing pains, but the mobile apps will come and the dust will settle. I’m all in on the Fediverse.
It’s like a mass exodus. I read on one instance how their workload jumped twenty times almost overnight. They’ll get it sorted out I’m sure. With more subscribers comes more opportunity for help. Just going to be some lag there.
First post here. I’ve had enough of centralized corporate control of my internet life. I remember life on the internet before greed became the prime motivator of all things. I hope there is a future where we can move past it. I’m feeling positive!

Hi!
Just found this site. Happy to be here and leave Reddit behind.
Spent a decade on Reddit (using Alien Blue, then Apollo exclusively) but now spending 90% of that time on kbin/fediverse leaning heavily on kbin progressive web app on iPad/iPhone. Doing most what I need it to like Apollo did, and even though it’s an early prototype it’s already way better than the official Reddit iOS app!
fuck reddit’s CEO and his idol musk
I’m long time Redditor. I don’t like what Reddit admins are doing. I use RIF on mobile. While still not sure if I’m moving here, I’m close to. This place needs work. A bit slow and disorganized. Hope we can help it.
Doing well! I even decided to mod a few local magazines, at least for a while; something I haven’t done in a long time.
I also think we should build a community mascot for kbin! I’m trying to get that going on this post here:
https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/35975/I-m-no-artist-but-I-thought-Kbin-could-use-a#comments11 years on Reddit with the current account and maybe around 2 years before that on my first account. It makes me sad to see what’s happening because I really love the community on the subs I participate in. I’m happy to be here though and to see Lemmy growing.
Oh yeah…and fuck Spez!
I was mostly a lurke there, but Lemmy seems like the best alternative. Hope more people migrate soon!
Around 7 years on reddit. Transitioning out by month’s end – trying on different spaces/interfaces, checking Reddit only a little in the morning to see where my old subs are going/what they’re doing. I was using the official app until this all went down, then I deleted it and switched to Apollo, so once that’s done I’m fully out.
Only just got here, but liking the vibe so far
Nuked everything from reddit. I still have the account though.
