After many years of Reddit I made the step today and uninstalled my reddit app. If Lemmy works out I will completely migrate here. The idea of the a Fediverse based place such as this one feels promising.

Now I am wondering, are you all also planning on staying here, do you mainly use Lemmy temporarily, or do you want to use Lemmy in addition to Reddit in the future?

I truly hope so.

The main barrier here, I think, will be the general clunkiness of Lemmy. I assume it is a consequence of its federated organization, but it took me several attempts over the course a few days before Lemmy would even let me make an account.

I'm nuts, so I kept trying. But If the barrier of entry is too difficult to for most people to bother with, i'm skeptical Lemmy will be able to be truly independent of Reddit.
