    Good. Also good to see a lot of other subreddits are going dark. Been using Lemmy for just a few hours, and I do not miss Reddit one bit anymore.

      Lemmy can be a bit slow, especially with remote communities.

      But damn, if Reddit’s only option is the new UI there’s no way I’ll ever use it.

        lemmy.ml is probably slow for you because of the influx of new users you can avoid this by joining a smaller general instance, like sh.itjust.works for example. We have a badass Canadian admin who is keeping our server running extremely smoothly so far. I had major issues when I signed up on lemmy.ml and beehaw, but this instance is running smooth and is nowhere near capacity.

      I’ve made the transition from Reddit to Lemmy so much more seamlessly than I did from Twitter to Mastodon. The percentage of Lemmy users that post high quality content & comments is much higher than Reddit, and a forum-based platform doesn’t really need many users to be useful, it just needs users who post content and interact meaningfully with one another.
