Try it and see.
It takes all of about a minute to sign up for an instance and it doesn't cost anything, so there's no reason not to do it. If you like it, great and if you don't, you're not out anything.
For the record I actually prefer KBin/MBin - they just have a better interface than Lemmy. But KBin was a one-man effort and when the guy running it burnt out, it soet of fell by the wayside. MBin is a fork that was meant to be a more open project, but the guy who was mostly responsible for it is a bit of a twat and mostly used it to pimp Monero, so it never quite caught on like it should have.
You might also sign up for an instance or two on piefed. The guy who's mostly responsible for that is also a bit of a twat, but he's had some good help and some people pushing back against his tyrannically censorious tendencies, so it's pretty decent.
The only way you're ever really going to know what you think about any of them is to try them out for yourself. And there's literally no reason not to.
