I have to say that I was a bit confused about Lemmy / Fediverse, but after actually sitting down and reading up about it all, I took the plunge and dived in. I have been slowly unsubscribing from reddit subs and finding alternates over on this side. So far so good. Hopefully other people will follow suit.

A memorial for the front page of the internet. If you have left reddit or is considering leaving then this community is for you.
There’s also a blog documenting the rise and fall of reddit as well as news and thoughts on the whole issue.
It serves as an archive for posts and topics in case reddit decides to delete anti-reddit posts within its platform.

Been here a couple weeks. Found an app I like, and replaced it with Apollo when it died.
Don’t even miss it now lol
True. Once you get down to it, it’s really just an open source reddit. You can think of it as “federations of forums.” Or “mini forums connected together through the fediverse.” In the context of lemmy, it’s really just multiple reddit like sites sharing data together. And as long as you have an account on the bigger lemmy instances, you’re fine. It’s actually quite fun. Reminds me of the older days where everyone has a website.
With the fediverse, almost everyone can host their own reddit by installing their lemmy. Or you can join one.
