I like it a lot. I come here often, it's a good addition to my reddit use, it has some nice people and some interesting content.

I love that it is decentralized, which means that there will always be a server without ads, tracking or bad governance.

Also it feels like being part of Lemmy is being part of something new and novel. The idea of decentralizing services online, away from corporate silos, should be resurrected.

It seems like a lot of Lemmy users are still active reddit users which IMO weakens the platform. People need to stop participating in corporate controlled social media. I know this is sometimes not possible for whatever reasons but if you can break away then you really should, and just submit content to the fediverse.

I think Lemmy would flourish if there were more topical instances with general-ish shared communities, like how mastodon is. However that kinda goes against the whole shared sublemmy type of platform where topical discussion is shared between every federatedinstances. I guess that may be the whole reddit type of platform being inherently centralized by design. I guess we will just have to see what the future brings and try to guide it in the right direction.
