I'm not a huge fan of lemmy, but I do like it better than what Reddit has become. If I had to pick today's lemmy or Reddit from 5-ish years ago, I'd go with Reddit every time. But that's not the options in front of me, so I stick with lemmy.
I also post a lot, probably too much, because I want to see more content, especially higher effort content. I posted pretty rarely on Reddit, so this is certainly more exhausting to use. However, there's enough people to make it worthwhile, so I'm still giving it the old college try.
