Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I'm just curious to know how y'all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?

All of the apps I've tried have problems. Most communities have a spam problem. None of the communities I'm interested in exist. I feel like there's almost a fundemental problem with the way that the fediverse works that makes it incompatible with this format, as almost all communities will be focused on generic instances as that's where people will create their accounts. I made my account on feddit.uk but I wouldn't make a community for something that wasn't UK focused, therefore the community doesn't get started.
