Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.

Same, heard about lemmy, matrix and mastodon before, but never tried to figure it out before the current death of Reddit.
I doubt Reddit will really die though. When Musk got Twitter, many fleed to Mastodon, but over time, many returned back to Twitter (?). Digg did fail though, but I don't know when that happened, probably wasn't really in the internet at that time yet.
The hardest thing for me was finding the "right" instance to register in, and that is probably the challenge for most people. Going back to the "popular topics" thing, when bigger communities about a certain thing, or entire instances about that thing exist, people might just register there.
My current guess is that you either pick a general-purpose instance or a specific instance of your interest, if it exists.
I'm exaggerating a bit, I think Lemmy still is "too complicated" for a lot of Reddit users, and that will keep Reddit alive. It'll be difficult for users to stop using reddit when they can't find a equivalent super obscure community on Lemmy.
I'll probably end up lurking on reddit for a while still..
I've been going through teddit and libreddit for a while now, but i don't know if they will survive. The next option would be old.reddit.
I need to wrap my head around the searching. For example, I don't know if a Community "Geometry Dash" exists somewhere in the Lemmy fediverse or if I just cannot find it. On the other hand, I could create one? But if so, where? Would it fit onto lemmy.world? If I understood right, I can create communities on lemmy.world only anyways.
Aye, I'm using Jerboa and the searching is a bit unpolished. You can find communities here though: https://browse.feddit.de/
