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?

Feels good to see it growing, I made an account really fast after lemmy got released, but still used reddit, too. I realized fast this could be the "new reddit" after the API thing and made some commercial posts for lemmy over the last months.

The only thing I am not happy with is the defederation idea. Don't misunderstand, it's good to be free from extremist politics or porn, but in fact reddit isn't that aggressive in the way defederation is done here. You just don't subscribe shit-subs. And this kind of self control would be nice on Lemmy, too. Why I am not able to just defederate my account from stuff I don't want to see would be better, imo.
