    I’m having an easier time sticking to it and not visiting reddit than I thought I would. The first day was pretty sketchy with 90% of the posts being about Lemmy, reddit, or twitter - but since then it’s been giving a more enjoyable experience.

    It probably helps that I’m making an effort to post and comment, which I never really did on reddit.

    As Lemmy grows I’d like to see more niche communities take off, similar to how there was “a subreddit for everything”.

    I do have a big wishlist for site functionality changes though. A big sore spot is that youtube videos and text posts can’t open in-line on the front page.

      My impression of lemmy changed a lot once I’ve read this updated from the lemmy devs from less than a month ago. TL;DR: Lemmy was developed by just two people and with reddit self-destructing everyone jumped to it, and lemmy wasn’t really ready for that.

      With that info I’m now all the more impressed that lemmy is working as well as it currently is and not crashing every few minutes!
