I like it more than Discord, which a lot of subs have been directing people to. Nothing wrong with Discord - it’s great for live chat and whatnot - but I don’t find it to be a good reddit alternative. Every time I drop in I feel like I’m walking into the middle of a conversation with no context.

I love the post-and-reply paradigm with threaded comments, so Lemmy feels like a much better fit for me. Makes it much easier to casually browse and consume content, and participate in a more asynchronous manner.
