I started moving from Reddit to Lemmy a few days ago, and since then I’ve been forcing myself to spend time here and getting myself used to it. I quickly checked the list of popular instances and decided to join lemmy.world and not beehaw because I didn’t like their decision of defederating other big lemmy instances.

I’ve been lurking lemmy.world for a bunch of days, and I like it enough not to look back at Reddit anymore, so props to that. It feels a bit chaotic though, with many tiny communities being created all the time with very few post and comments in them.

Today I decided to take a look at beehaw’s and in perspective it feels so organized and content rich that I’m quite impressed.

I guess it comes with a big amount of moderation and organized content creation work and I wonder how sustainable is that in the long run, but props to them so far for the project!

What do you think about beehaw?

    I joined there first but left after they defederated the two instances. I regret joining there at all, but I was very new off Reddit.

      Early on (relatively speaking), when everyone first started moving off of Reddit, everyone was suggesting Beehaw almost synonymously with Lemmy. I think that’s how a lot of us migrants ended up there.

      Like you, I ended up making another account elsewhere. But I don’t regret joining. I’m just using this account for Lemmy and my Beehaw strictly for Beehaw and nothing else.
