I was here early June when there was very little activity. I didn't really understand the fediverse, and how instances worked. I remember thinking "this has so much potential!" The average instance had about 4000 users. And now it's exploding. I know many people are going to continue to use Reddit, there's still more users on Reddit then there are on here, there probably always will.
I feel the users that end up on here are smart, informed, fed up, we see past the lies, we are mature and chill as fuck.
The fact Lemmy takes time to learn is a good thing.
