Same. I just started today and I’m having fun with it. Feels like when I just started Reddit. Definitely not as many communities but I feel like it’ll get there.
the nice thing with federation is that you can always find a smaller community on a smaller instance if thats what you want while still having access to the larger ones. its… magical! :-)
It’s definitely one of the ones with the most promise. I say “one of the ones” because there’s also kbin and it literally doesn’t matter which one you use, you get the same content. Any new fediverse reddit-like that pops up is also swimming in the same stream, can only compete on features and administration, not on content lock-in. The fediverse is pretty dope.
One doesn’t even need to “win” if they’re all interoperable. Kinda like picking your favorite 3rd party Reddit app. Reading and replying to you from Kbin right now, actually.
I just need to use a platform with a decent Android app. That’s all I need! Lol. Atm it seems kbin doesn’t have any apps developed. RIP RIF is Fun. Served me well for years and years.
Apollo didn’t auto switch it for me so it was at the top lol. Of course Spez ignored that one. He actually took a shot at Christian in another comment
Saw that. Glad lemmy is taking off.

Yeah it will. Even it doesn’t reach critical mass if it just becomes a tight nit community on here I’m fine with that.
I think Reddit was just to big anyway, i think we are just early for the big wave when the changes over there are through.

I hopped onto Lemmy yesterday when I saw the news that Sync was shutting down. Already enjoying the communites more than I ever was on reddit.
Is Lemmy the biggest contender for a Reddit alternative rn?
It’s the only one I’ve heard of so I’d assume so but I’m also curious to know the answer to your question too.

The best part is that everyone can win! It doesn’t matter if one is more popular than the others, they all contribute to each other.
edit: I mean those in federation, if that wasn’t clear
