Not just Lemmy, since that’s the cool thing federation allows. This is a Lemmy instance and you’re posting from Lemmy, but I’m reading and posting from kbin. Even in its early stages, we’ve got two big different alternatives that share the same content, which is dope.
It became pretty much permanent for me, now I’m more on kbin the last few days than Reddit (like at least a 10:1 ratio in terms of minutes spent), where I only use reddit if I need some info that can’t be found anywhere else and that AI can’t answer me. I’m pretty sure even the real “2 days” folks will come here full-time as soon as the API changes go through and most apps for Reddit stop working.
Federation really helps too because here I get an active flow of interesting posts from this and different instances and communities unlike Reddit where you scroll r/popular once and you’re done for the day.
I also tend to write much more extensive and informative comments on here than on Reddit, which probably comes with the territory, but I’ve seen it with other people too.
Same here. And, as someone father up this thread observed, forcing a big exodus in a short span of time is the Best possible way to bootstrap this migration :)

Precisely! And unlike Twitter or Facebook you’re not reliant to other specific people.
Reddit have us an opening we wouldn’t have had otherwise.
I think lemmy has the potential to break the fediverse wide open.

Federation is absolutely amazing. So many communities can come together here
Federation is such a breath of fresh air after the last decade of everything growing more and more into a walled garden.
More like you can choose who you’re reliant on, and that choice includes yourself(selfhosting)

I don’t write extensive and informative comments, but I am posting a lot more comments than I used to on Reddit. It feels more open.
