I share the same fear, but I plan to stay I really enjoy lemmy, more than I have reddit in the last year or so. The atmosphere is great, and I feel more of a connection with the people and the community.

MODERATORS
I’m staying. This may not be the Big Thing, but in my eyes, it’s a worthy contender.
Reddit simply isn’t anymore, if it ever truly was.
The reaction from spez has moved me from “just don’t go back” to “learn enough about scripts to run that salt the earth thing I saw from GitHub.”
I'll stay. I've been looking for a reason to move off reddit for a long time. But there didn't seem to be a non political based exodus, until now. The TD stuff and voat seemed too political charged and only people of a certain political leaning left. As a result voat and the others were just all about American politics. This feels much more across the board, and so far I'm loving the Lemmy community.
I think there needs to be more communities so I can really leave reddit. Also not for sure about the messaging option on here.
I'm definitely here to stay. One among many. And not for a kind of reddit bis. For what's different from reddit here.
Although err.. Well, I'm glad there's an anarchychess community here. Don't ask me why, but it's almost a metaphysical experience for me.
When I saw they were here, I knew I was staying.
At this point I am not interested in going back.. the way they have treated the community they can suck it. I think some people that have not "migrated" platforms before may feel uneasy but this place feels pretty familiar. We just have to give it some time.
I will probably use both reddit and lemmy. But as long as I can't use a third party app for reddit, I will use it a lot less. And the better lemmy gets, the more I will use it vs reddit.
I am liking my experience so far. I did a decade on Reddit and feel like I got the full experience (including moderating a subreddit big enough to have front page problems). I was already a bit tired of it when I got called a Nazi like 30 times for posting on a specific subreddit a few times. This new enshittification kinda clenched that I want to move to a different place. Not sure if it’s Lemmy or not, but I’m trying it.
Wiped and deleted. I'm putting down roots.
There wasn't much to Reddit when it first started. Users built it over the years, including myself. I'd love to see Lemmy do the same, but it'll take work and commitment. Should it happen to become as large, I do wonder if it will eventually face the same woes as Reddit.
It shouldn't, provided people don't just pile into single instances and spread themselves out.
Also Support your local instance provider.. ask them if they have a patron or something you can donate to. These servers aren't cheap to run, and the more people and on an instance, the more money it takes to keep up on the upkeep.
In the end due to the lack of ads, someone must front the costs, and with no angel investors (I mean I don't want angel investors all over my fediverse, do you?) it's gotta be us.
I haven't deleted my account yet, but I'm in no hurry to go back. I'll go back if I see some change (in any case I'll also be here, it's cozy)
If RIF goes, I don't see myself spending any meaningful time on reddit. We'll see if I stick around here.
I'm here for good. Yes it will take some time to get the lay of the land but, I'm already confident this will become a much better home for me.
Haven't decided yet if I'll stay, or get rid of this type of social media entirely. We'll see. Not going back to Reddit though, I think.
Planning on sticking around! I'm losing RiF and Jerboa seems to work well enough; hopefully it continues to improve as the platform continues to get more popular. I'll likely still check on Reddit for certain communities as they develop here, but otherwise I'm digging Lemmy and would love to see it grow!
This place feel so much better. The only downside is the user base isn't here yet. Let's hope many more people move over.
I'm staying. Feels more like how Reddit was at the beginning and how it should've stayed.
Deleted my accounts and all post/comment history as well. I'm fully Lemmy only now.
16 years... I have several custom feeds that I will lurk when im on my pc, but I think I'm done posting there. Lemmy will hopefully grow to replace it for me.
I have been permabanned from both reddit and twitter so i'll stay here
