Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I'm just curious to know how y'all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?

My opinion is probably in line with most; that for general "news" it's just fine. For niche topics, most aren't here or at least aren't as robust as Reddit

There are two relatively minor features that I do wish would be implemented:

  1. homepage defaults to Subscribed instead of all, or at least a way to set that as the default

  2. a quick jump to top of page button that stays present when you've scrolled way down the page. Not sure if that was a RIF addition or native to Reddit, but that was a nice quality of life feature

It should be in your settings page. It's just labeled "Type" and is between Theme and Sort type.

In settings under "type" I have the option to choose a default for homepage.

Nice, thanks. I looked before; either I missed it or it was an update feature
