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?

I like it and I think I can say with confidence that I’ve made the switch from Reddit to Lemmy as my default “internet frontpage.”
Still rough in spots, though. The defederation drama is making this a bit of a rocky experience, so I’m not sure I’ve landed on my final instance just yet. I understand this is an unavoidable aspect of the Fediverse (i.e. relations between instances), but I still haven’t settled on an instance where I can say, “Yep, this is the one for me.”
On the positive side, I love Infinity for Lemmy, even with some of the remaining bugs, and I love that I can open a discussion that’s on the top of my feed and I can still have meaningful interactions with the community. I hope my favorite subs from Reddit will eventually come to life here, because then I’d be golden.
Overall, this all feels like a fresh new start and I love it.
Well I’m using an instance (reddthat.com) that doesn’t defederate. But downside being that some extremist instances are also not defederated (like far-right stuff). I would move to another instance, but just too lazy to make another account. Those stuff rarely show up on my front page anyways, and I just ignore them if they do show up. If there was a feature to block an instance like how you can block users, this would be the perfect instance for me. Sadly there’s no such feature yet.
Fwiw the only annoyance i’ve had here on tchncs.de is not having instances defederated and needing to manually block miserable communities, and like half an hour of the server having a bit of a hiccup.
