As someone who was lurking on Reddit every day, probably not to be honest. I know a lot of people are enjoying the smaller community, but to me it just feels... empty. The bigger instances are fine, but I was never interested in the popular subreddits like r/funny or r/memes. I used reddit for things like specific games, communities that are noticeably dead on Lemmy.
I'm using Lemmy more like an intermediary step between reddit and just quitting altogether.
Lemmy will need to hit a critical mass of regular users before all the niche non-Programmer orientated communities will start to properly populate, hopefully it doesn't drop off before then
That's my problem so far. I've been leaving subreddits I can live without and trying to use Lemmy for general browsing, but some of the smaller subreddits can't be replaced.
The 2 subs on reddit I really cared about were for Dragon Quest and Breath of Fire. I can't devote enough time to build multiple communities and figured DQ has enough fans that it had a better chance of growing.
Basically same boat a lot of smaller gaming communities haven't moved here. Also Combat Footage and Ukraine don't seem to be moving here enough to keep me off Reddit.
