Had been eyeballing it for a awhile already. Just needed a little bit of a push to make the jump and start actually taking the time to grok the concept.

I've done social community migrations probably 2 or 3 times though already (Usenet -> Forums -> Social Media), so this all feels pretty old hat to me. Unlike previous Reddit revolts, Lemmy strikes me as an actually useable alternative, especially since other Fediverse communities can help pad out content while the site still tries to build out its own legs and specializations.
