Same experience here, I checked out Mastodon and was impressed with the fediverse and open nature of everything, but the style of social media just didn't gel with me. Not surprising as I was exactly the same with Twitter.
I was literally saying "someone needs to make Mastodon for Reddit" before I discovered Lemmy!
I feel like a lot of the discussion on here at the moment is obviously focused on Lemmy itself and Reddit, but that's not surprising given the huge influx of new users.
Looking forward to the various communities and platform itself maturing. The first time I've been optimistic about social media in years, haha.
Totally agree with everything. Another major complaint I see people making is that smaller communities will form when we should just have one central one for each topic. I think this will naturally sort itself out. I will likely join a community if the content is good and the people are nice. If there is a community with 2k people and everyone is mean but a small one with 10 people and good content, I'll join that one.
Like you I am very excited to see where it goes. I don't think it can become massive. But it would be nice to see communities with 500k people in them. Optimizing server hosting is probably one of the biggest problems right now. I also wonder how the larger instances will make enough money to cover cost of servers.
