I like it and I think I can say with confidence that I've made the switch from Reddit to Lemmy as my default "internet frontpage."
Still rough in spots, though. The defederation drama is making this a bit of a rocky experience, so I'm not sure I've landed on my final instance just yet. I understand this is an unavoidable aspect of the Fediverse (i.e. relations between instances), but I still haven't settled on an instance where I can say, "Yep, this is the one for me."
On the positive side, I love Infinity for Lemmy, even with some of the remaining bugs, and I love that I can open a discussion that's on the top of my feed and I can still have meaningful interactions with the community. I hope my favorite subs from Reddit will eventually come to life here, because then I'd be golden.
Overall, this all feels like a fresh new start and I love it.
Fwiw the only annoyance i've had here on tchncs.de is not having instances defederated and needing to manually block miserable communities, and like half an hour of the server having a bit of a hiccup.
