Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

As good as one could hope for a new place with not many users. The framework is there but the crowd is what's needed.

There's a "Goldilocks Zone" when it comes to amounts of users that Lemmy is still pretty far from IMO. A few hundred thousand people would already make the place feel alive without losing the communal feeling, like what Reddit had around a decade ago or more.
