Honestly I thought it would be tougher than it really was. The first couple days I did miss it, it was my go to for over 12 years.
I'm thankful RIF suggested this place, it's a much nicer environment.
Seriously! I was pretty down at first as I was seeing so much bullshit Reddit meanness and drama around the time everyone migrated. Now it has calmed down and Lemmy is back to being nice but with a TON more content.
Me too. I felt kind of shitty deleting a decade old account where I'd had a lot of really good interactions with people, but I've already completed multiple craft projects that I never would've picked up if I hadn't stopped reflexively clicking on reddit every time I was even slightly bored, and now I'm here, which is nice. Not so busy I can spend all day doomscrolling, and mostly a better community.
Yeah, I had a social media coma for two weeks before deciding I finally wanted to try Lemmy out; and Mastodon, and I also downloaded Threads with the hopes of it being integrated into ActivityPub as well.
