still here

Present

Yup, I'm here

They went back to reddit or scatter around other social networks or ultimately ended up turning into floating balls of nostalgia.

They're right here on the threadiverse

Yeah, nowhere near the size of reddit, but who wants that? Easier to have discussions without bazillions of people posting crap like "works for me" or being dicks.

I don't really trust other alternatives. Being unfederated, they rely on a closed source solution maintained by a single person or very small group of people. There's nothing in place if the plugs ever get pulled, everything is lost and like reddit, whose to say these owners won't turn their website slowly into the cesspit reddit is?

Yeah, an instance owner of lemmy/kbin could theoretically pull the plug on their instance or enshitify it, but you can just switch to a different instance and keep accessing the content you were.

I'm here!

However, I can't seem to create communities that are missing from lemmy. Maybe an instance problem?

Here

👋

here from Reddit my main community (uselessserver093) could've benefited from lemmyshitpost incident but didn't

Still around, and possibly outnumbered the non refugees already. But we haven't yet reached critical mass, so there is a lot less content (with few exceptions such as the piracy and foss communities which are solid and potentially better than what you may find on Reddit)

Boost for reddit still works so 🤷‍♂️ I just use both. once Boost goes away then maybe I'll try the main app again but probably not much

Many are around. All ? May-be not, some people would have moved to other places (discord, Mastodon, and more)

Welcome here, looks like you already got the federation concept and how to access communities which aren't on your home instance, congrats. Remember that you're part of the community and be the change you want to see

Sometimes, it's a bit messy as you get 3 communities with the same name on different instance and only one of the 3 is active, but in general it's works

My account is older than the Reddit exodus, but I did started to use it after the Reddit's 3rd party app drama.

Yeah it's something that'll take time... reddit had years of activity to give it the beef of info and content. Lemmy will get there, just going up steadily :) (reddit refugee)
