I learn something new every week about subjects I was decided on for a long time, forcing me to re-evaluate. It seems like there are more knowledgeable people here than on Reddit. I do wish our visualnovels community was more active, but alas, it's a more niche subject that's bound to grow slowly.

I run out of content to read much more quickly than I did with Reddit, so I'm antsy/restless more often, because I pick up my phone and then have nothing to do on it.
Pretty good. haven't even been to reddit after I switched!
I joint today because Kbin is very slow to browse, so I figured I create an account here, but I don't get why there is a lemm.me and lemmy.world which both look identical but it seems I can't log in there using my username here?

There’s a LOT of extremist left wingers but it’s ok because there’s a down arrow and block buttons. Oddly enough I haven’t seen much extremist right wing stuff plus I don’t have to care if someone doesn’t like me here so I’m less concerned about being honest.

Not very good. Many communities are just too small for any meaningful stuff, the UI is ugly, the software's buggy, and Lemmy (and tbh, the whole Fediverse) sometimes feels like a political echo chamber, only favoring a certain side.
I'm on Voyager (via the app store) and it is wonderful (and free)!
I agree that some communities are quite empty, but I found that the techn savy communities are quite large and well maintained (selfhosted, linux and such).
Although the read is arguably shorter, i have more time in my day as a result of that. Not missing reddit at all ATM.

Too left wing, too much circlejerk. One sided discussions that feel AI generated. Controversial comments will get you banned in my cases. Worse mods than reddit easily.

Lemmy blows and is missing vitally important features. In a decade, other people will finally figure it out once the tankies who control development exploit the information they've been farming against the users, put in updates that prevent defederation from their instances, fill the Lemmyverse with propaganda and/or start doxxing the liberals and alt right dipshits they hate.
I am personally trying to figure out what alternatives I could use. This instance seems alright for now, but after the last few I have been to, I don't really have faith in the platform. We'll see how this instance turns out, I guess.
