This is what made the decision for me. All the enshittification aside- in 15 years on Reddit, I did not make one lasting relationship with another human being there, even though I tried very hard at times (via everything ranging from Secret Santa to local meetup subs, to niche interest subs, and more). I have friends online that I have only known online since the 1990s, so it's not that I'm "un-befriendable". Reddit allows people to form mobs, not true communities, which almost always have many subsets of friends and acquaintances, rather than a bunch of strangers who actually don't care at all if one of their members disappears.

It depends very much on how you use reddit. E.g. there are no mental health communities here that really helped me through difficult times. There are so many specialized communities on reddit that helped me a lot, that won't just move over here on Lemmy. I get that if you only looked at the general feed, you don't miss out on much on lemmy. But I never used reddit like this and now I really feel like lemmy is (still) missing the best parts of reddit :/

Yeah, it's a really easy transition. Without watching the video, no users (and even moreso mods) are not powerless, and the fat lady absolutely has not sung yet.
