I like it a lot. I come here often, it's a good addition to my reddit use, it has some nice people and some interesting content.

I love that it is decentralized, which means that there will always be a server without ads, tracking or bad governance.

Also it feels like being part of Lemmy is being part of something new and novel. The idea of decentralizing services online, away from corporate silos, should be resurrected.

Yeah, I think it's cool. It has filled the niche that Reddit filled for me before, and I don't need to deal with all the Reddit drama.

But there's also no shortage of Lemmy drama. People talk about defederation, Nazi/tankie mods/communities/instances, etc. Hopefully this is all excitement over a new platform and not a sign of how this platform will continue.

I just want a link aggregator where people discuss articles, and having a place for other discussion is nice too. But it seems that even the most technical communities discuss irrelevant drama.

But on the whole, I'm enjoying it. I sub to the communities that interest me and ignore most of the stuff I don't like. I've even contributed to some lemmy-adjacent projects, and I'll probably contribute to Lemmy itself eventually.

It reminds me of when Reddit was first starting to kick off before the digg exodus. The fact that it brings those feelings leads me to be hopeful that things will go well.
