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.

I think the software, even though we've been adding and working on it a lot, is in a really good place. As others said below, we just need more users, and non-tech-oriented communities.

The only large growth that the lemmy federated network experiences, is when reddit messes up, and there's a large exodus of users to a new instance. We really have to do a better job of bringing over reddit communities, or encouraging them to start their own instances, as they can fully control their content.

reddit largely owes its success to digg's failings, nothing wrong with that user acquisition approach imo 🤷‍♀️
