For me, it’s not great. The web interface and apps I’ve used are kind of bad, there isn’t a lot of content in the topics I’m interested in. I’m mainly here because I refuse to go back to Reddit.
In terms of ui and apps it’s perfect because I was using boost for reddit and now using boost for Lemmy and it’s nearly identical.
Definitely agree that there’s not much content, or at least much variety. Pretty much all I see is news, nauseating amount of memes and communists, frankly not much thought provoking content honestly. I’m really wishing for the hobby subs to grow, after that I’d be way more active.
For me the level of interesting content is just about spot on now, but obviously it depends on your interests.
I do have one suggestion though. Whenever you feel the urge to comment about how “hobby” communities are too dead, be more specific. Which hobbies? Which communities? Every time you mention one, the chances that someone who didn’t even know it existed sees that comment and finds the community increase.
Look I’ll start. I wish there were more crocheters around to liven up !crochet@lemmy.ca a bit.
Word of mouth is how niche communities grow.
(p.s. also spend some time blocking the news communities if you’re not into that stuff, it makes a massive difference)

Is there a homelabsales yet?
Use Sync! I used it for years for reddit. They had to shut down with the other third party apps, but they just came back with Lemmy.
Web UI works great for me except for the few already reported bugs that are not experience breaking.
I found Alexandrite to be my favorite front-end on the browser.
