I really do like KBin and Lemmy and the fediverse on the whole, but development is still young and the userbase still growing. KBin is still basically early access, and Lemmy is buggy. I spent alot of time in reddit and I'm feeling the pain of trying to ween myself from it. Just wanted to here community perspectives and see how other's are taking it.

For me, I feel a bit of a sore hollow spot for what reddit used to be and watching it implode is not fun for me.

Same. I have friends and people I socialize around in real life, BUT not many people IRL that I know has the same interests I have and some of those people I’ve only been able to connect with via subreddits. Losing that is hard and a few months ago would’ve been unthinkable, but I’m proud of myself for having gotten as far as I have. I was afraid I’d relapse and go back to reddit, but having sites like tildes and Lemmy have actually made it easier. Even if the size and content isn’t there yet, they’ve given me some place else to go that’s not reddit. We’ll rebuild new communities, it’ll just take time.
