This is my story as well. I follow a few accounts on Mastadon, but I find it much easier to connect with Lemmy. I joined Maston during the height of the Twitter crisis, and Lemmy earlier this week during the Reddit crisis.

I was never really into the idea of twitter and I really only lurk on a couple of people's twitter accounts but the idea of reddit is good for me because I can find a community of people who like similar things as me easily and see what's been popular. It's also a decent news feed on the side.

Same thing here. Twitter has always sucked and has been intolerable the last few years. Lemmy feels like Reddit from back in the day.

Same here. Mastodon didn’t stick, same with Twitter. Much more of a Reddit user so I expect to be more of a Lemmy user.

Same here. I signed up just to get an account/handle in case I end up being more interested in sharing a “reach me at this username” blah blah but I never signed up for Twitter based on its initial inception concept of “post every second of every day!!! Isn’t this great!?!?” No. It isn’t. It’s a stupid concept and I hated the mentality of posting on your Facebook wall every day… why would I want to do that constantly?

In the same boat, looking forward to seeing the interfaces develop a bit for Lemmy, I haven’t found many app alternatives
