I probably won't delete my Reddit account, but I started my own Lemmy instance in the hopes that I could encourage more people to try out the Fediverse. I think it could work out well, but it's pretty tricky to get everything set up to start an instance.

I'm having fun here, will likely stay for long.
My main issue right now is that, I use Reddit mostly for participating in tech communities and they don't seem to exist here... yet.
I hope that changes in the soon future.
Lemmy needs a useable search - either integrated or indexed via search engines. Major use of reddit for me is treating it as a giant forum, seeking answers to questions.
Doom scrolling comes second. I need a way to swipe away posts I have no interest in to hide them forever.
I will probably never be entirely done with reddit unless the knowledgebase portion dries up.
Moving here for the foreseeable future, but don’t think I’ll be deleting my reddit account. Just like the gaslit partner in a toxic relationship. I am hoping reddit becomes better. Until then, I am moving here to reevaluate.
Also I cannot live without my patient gamers subreddit and my nosleep subreddit
I deleted all accounts except for one that I‘m still emotionally attached to. I downloaded a copy of my data and then… well I‘ll use Lemmy as my main platform for now and see how it goes. Then when my Apollo is dead, hopefully I‘ll have no reason to look at Reddit much at all.
My only issue with Lemmy is the lack of a "multi-reddit" where I separate the communities I've joined into themed feeds. Other than that, It's pretty cozy here.
