I quit reddit years ago, but joined lemmy after learning about the drama, just out of curiosity... so, yes.

The Lemmy software is kind of bad at the moment, has a lot of usability issues and bugs, and clearly wasn't "ready" for this type of massive influx of users.

...but, it's far from unusable. The content I've seen so far is pretty good (if sparse). The quality of discussions is definitely better than what I remember from reddit. I just hope the issues get fixed so that less techy users can migrate without frustrations, and we can hopefully see more varied discussions in the lemmyverse.
