    As a long time reddit lurker. Loving it here so far.

    When I heard about it I was kind of expecting it to be contentless and bare. Oh boy was I wrong and so pleasantly surprised.

    The amount and the quality of the posts and comments is very high. The people super friendly and I’m loving the sense of community and respect. Bonding over something new and exciting also enchances this feeling.

    I also visit reddit now and then but I noticed my browsing sessions leave me more satisfied here on Lemmy, than on Reddit.

    Obviously there are some communities that I miss, but I’m sure with time replacement tor those will start to appear.

    Lemmy and the community not only fills the “gap”, but for me, it also stands by itself providing something that reddit didn’t .

    Super excited about what is being created here.

      There is definitely a sense of ownership almost that comes with being part of a community that is just getting going. I had the same expectation as you going in but I feel part of something here much more than I did at Reddit.
