There's a chance I'll move to kbin, although I have a community here. But in general, Lemmy makes a good Reddit replacement.

Actually I didn't think I'd move away from reddit but since I found lemmy I have to activelly think about going to reddit to read something there. Most of the communities I already found here and suprisingly, I'm not really missing the ones which I thought I'd miss.
I love it. It's fun to watch it grow too.
I'll probably stick with Lemmy until another solution comes around that makes federation easier.
I hope it will be, and think it has the potential.
It has already replaced the "all" experience for me, and I automatically come here rather than Reddit. On the other hand, most of my engagement on reddit was with hobby/interest communities. Very few of the ones I visited on Reddit have made it across in an active way so far.
One unexpected thing is that I actually enjoy my specific instance and find myself browsing "Local" way more often than I expected.
I'm happy so far and I'm enjoying watching the community grow.
Yes it is. Tried Imgur for a while, but that place is… lost. Now with the Memmy App, I feel right at home here on Lemmy
I wasn't aware imgur was even a social media, I thought it was just an image host
Have a Tilde account now too, more users, but less active? Odd space...
It was so hard to find and join this place, I think I'll hang for a while. I lurked on Kbin for a bit, but I hate the way they show images, especially on mobile browsers. I tried Mastadon first, but that was even more confusing.
Still not sure of lemmy Vs. Fediverse Vs. Threadiverse, whether the instance I joined is best for me, or if it even matters. On Reddit it was easy to lurk, then only one way to join, and easy to figure out. If someone figures out how to simplify using and joining their instance or universe or whatever, they have an opportunity to come out on top.

4chan legitimately still beats lemmy and anything else. Slap on a bunch of decent filters and it's far more entertaining and useful than both reddit and lemmy combined.

So far it is satiating that Reddit itch that I require scratched. Honestly, I would love if Reddit fired Spez and walked back his shit, and if that happened I’d return to my 15yr old account. I don’t know if it will happen, and if it doesn’t this is my new home.
I split my time between Lemmy and Tildes, Lemmy is the most Reddit-like, Tildes is more of a place for contemplation and I like it a lot, but when I feel like doomscrolling a la Reddit, I go to Lemmy.
You get some great conversation on tildes
Just checked out tilde for the first time. I appreciate that it isn't simply a collection of posts about or from reddit. Thanks.

I'm liking it the more I use it and seeing the development of the platform is a nice experience.
So far Lemmy is my new home! I like it here.
Depends on how much Meta fucks it up, if at all.
Literally just signed up. Don't quite get the instances thing I'll read about that tonight but right now I'm on world which I think is the 'big' one?
Either way liking it so far

I HAVE to stay here because I like mobile scrolling and I will never use the shitty Reddit app, so lemmy is staying as my Reddit replacement :)
I find it very strange how memes have become more popular than the gaming subs, I thought they would be equally bustling but they’re deathly quiet which is a shame so far.
Also missing SquaredCircle for wrestling happenings so I’ll quickly visit there on my PC, but certainly not interested in other Reddit crap.
Also got Tildes on the side for when I want some more stuff but there’s a lot off guff like sociology n stuff….sometimes you just need a meme or whatever. Glad to have a choice.
